EABL to Begin Production at New Sh15b Western Kenya Brewery

East African Breweries Limited (EABL) said on July 17 that its new brewery in Western Kenya worth Sh15 billion is ready to begin production after a successful testing process. The Western Kenya brewery will produce Senator Keg beer for two years before moving to brands such as Tusker. Senator Keg beer, which is one of EABL’s fastest growing brands in recent years, is produced using locally-grown sorghum. The brand is popular with price-conscious consumers who are shifting from illegal brews to legal ones. The brewer announced plans to invest in the new brewery in Kisumu last year with the aim of meeting increasing demand in the region. EABL, partly owned by Britain’s Diageo, has operations in Uganda and Tanzania. The company has also started producing Captain Morgan rum due to increasing demand.

[Johannesburg, 30 May 2017]: With a rich founding history of gold and diamond mining, South Africa remains a leader in deep underground mining as well as safety in this arena, making the transfer of equipment and goods underground a task with little margin for error. Enter the Kubota RTV-X900. While the tasks involved in a successful mining operation are manifold, one of these is being able to move equipment, technicians and supplies from the shafts to the rock face; everything inside these tunnels must be brought from the surface. Due to the layout of a deep level mine, which could include many hundreds of kilometres of tunneling fanning out from the shafts and leading to the surface, this transfer is hugely complex and potentially very hazardous. In years past, the task of transporting goods from the surface underground and vice versa was carried out using a ‘cage’, from which the mining paraphernalia would either be physically carried or transported by wheeled trolleys to its po...

The SKF TKSU 10 is an ultrasonic leak detector that helps users to quickly find leakages in compressed air or vacuum systems. The instrument is very simple to use and features adjustable sensitivity and intuitive guidance for superior leak detection results. Any compressed air system can experience leaks, which amplify the load on compressors and increase costs. The TKSU 10 helps users to easily find leaks from a distance, even in noisy industrial environments, via its ultrasound measurement sensor. The built-in LED display assists the user in adjusting sensitivity and shows the measured ultrasound noise from leaking air, allowing the quantification of leaks and prioritisation of repairs. It is easy to use and no training is required. The leak detection can be done from a distance in noisy industrial environments. The colour LED display assists in adjusting sensitivity settings and shows measurement values. The unit reduces energy and maintenance costs via leak identification an...
