The August 2016 edition of IPF features two important industry segments. Pumps and Valves play a vital role in fluid handling – gases, liquids or even slurries – an essential function in process industries. Over the years, Pumps and Valves have evolved to become more sophisticated and function specific, and increasingly automated. The world of Chemical Process Equipment is witnessing new trends with new materials, better coatings, energy efficient designs and better safety with increased automation. Better equipment is the need of the hour in an environmentally conscious world. There is a preview on TMTS 2016, Taiwan’s biggest international machine tools show scheduled for November, and an article on collaborative robots. Besides, a new feature, Open Forum, and all the regular product profiles.
Industrial Products Finder (IPF), a pioneer industrial journal in India, was launched in 1972. It gives industrial manufacturers and exclusive dealers/importers of industrial products a forum to display their ware, in a medium that was to be made regularly available to the users of these products. IPF focuses on all industrial/engineering products and services, consultancies, repair and reconditioning services, industrial security and safety services, and of late, pollution control and environment protection services. Apart from products, there are also other regular features that complement the core activity – a capsule of important events and developments in the industrial sector, news on companies, projects, joint ventures and mergers, etc; a selection of articles written by experts in the field as well as academics; and information on all important trade fairs, conferences, seminars and training programmers.
