The company said its diversification and expansion plans, combined with professionalism and enthusiasm, would ensure Bard continues to deliver engineered solutions for most applications.
“Our ongoing commitment to providing solutions for mining, industrial and civil engineering companies has allowed us to become specialists within our own niche market,” the company said.
“Our skills, knowledge and abilities in fluid dispensing and fabrication have placed Bard Engineering in a unique market position – a single entity able to design, fabricate and install.”
With QME 2006 fast approaching (July 25-27), Bard has announced it will introduce clients to some exciting new products at the event, providing solutions for:
Working at heights
Oil cleanliness
Fire prevention
The company said the most significant development of recent years in fall protection for industry has come from the Standfast Corporation.
“We are proud to introduce the award-winning TRAM (Total Restraint Access Module), which is a movable total restraint system incorporating a specially designed restraint harness that provides a safe means for workers to access and work at heights,” the company said.
The Tram system is designed so that the user is firmly attached to the unit (slide rail and arm mechanism) at all times and is prevented from falling in the event of a slip or fall.
Bard says the product is a superior fall protection system for a variety of applications across all industries. Some uses include gantry and overhead cranes, access platforms, vehicles and mobile plant, ship loaders and elevated walkways.
The company said it will also showcase its RMF range of filtration units, which can be applied to a variety of industrial applications where hydraulic or lubrication systems are present, adding that Bard also has specially designed units for mobile applications in transmission or hydraulic systems.
Over the years, RMF Systems has developed considerable experience in the cleansing of these systems, helping reduce wear and tear and extending equipment life. Some typical uses for these systems could include application in excavators, loaders, draglines, agricultural machines, plastic injection and aircraft, and in the forestry and marine industries.
“Capable of removing contaminants to 0.5 micron and water [from oil], condition monitoring will reveal the real power of RMF filters,” the company said.
RMF desiccant breathers (air breathers) prevent airborne contaminants and moisture entering the tank and contaminating the system.
Bard will also promote a range of products from the Akron Brass Company, the largest supplier of fire industry solutions in the world.
An outstanding mining product from Akron is the Severe Duty Monitor. Designed to withstand a dusty, dirty environment encountered on minesites it is a robust water cannon that can withstand continuous operation mounted on mobile equipment or fixed site applications.
The monitor has totally maintenance-free polyethylene joints, a user-friendly joystick and options to upgrade to foam induction and electric fog/jet nozzles. It also has powerful motors that are available in either 12-24v or hydraulic configurations.
Bard Engineering expects introducing these products to clients at QME 2006 will catapult the company to the forefront of the new mining era.
“We look forward to launching these exciting new products to the industry and to our clients at a competitive price, backed up by onsite service, installation and technical support.”
