Vermeer roller cone hole openers
Vermeer roller cone hole openers are available in diameters of 8 to 24 inches in 2-inch increments and include a range of customizable options. The cutters feature metal-faced seals similar in style to what is on a dozer or excavator rather than conventional rubber seals. The openers are also built with a precision machining manufacturing process that allows the tool to have equal loading on each cutter. With a wide range of sizes and centralizer options, as well as two different cutter options for hard and medium hard rock and a multitude of customizable options, Vermeer roller cone hole openers are equipped to meet the specific needs of any job site. 800-837-6337; www.vermeer.com. 

Aries Industries TrailBlazer enclosure
Aries Industries introduced the TrailBlazer operations and transport enclosure, a self-contained equipment housing that can get critical equipment into tight work sites. The TrailBlazer mounts onto a pickup truck, ATV or trailer, allowing pipeline inspection equipment to be brought into locations too small for larger vehicles. The lightweight, lockable enclosure can house either an Aries Industries Mobile Pathfinder System or Master Controller System, both ready to send remote-control inspection robots into pipes and record interior conditions with video cameras. It has a weatherproof and corrosion-proof shell to protect and transport the control systems. Inside are two 250-pound-capacity drawers to securely store tractors, cameras and accessories. Two installed monitor options are available: one 17-inch sunlight-readable screen, or two 15-inch sunlight-readable units. The TrailBlazer has four 120-volt outlets and two USB outlets. 800-234-7205; www.ariesindustries.com.

Watson-Marlow Bredel heavy-duty hose pumps
Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group’s Bredel heavy-duty hose pumps are a reliable and easy-to-maintain solution for handling the viscous slurries and grit-filled sludge in wastewater treatment plants. Unlike diaphragm, rotary lobe and PC pumps, the peristaltic design of Bredel hose pumps contains no moving parts that come into contact with the product, and no seals, ball-checks, diaphragms, glands, immersed rotors, stators or pistons to leak, clog, corrode or replace. Bredel hose pumps also remove the need for ancillary equipment such as dry-run protection, seal water flush systems and inline check valves. A simple hose change takes only minutes and can be performed in-situ without special tools or skilled personnel. The hose pumps are dry-running and self-priming, and allow no slippage, for true positive displacement to provide accurate and repeatable metering. 800-282-8823; www.wmfg.com.
