AN Aberdeen electrical engineering firm has secured a deal to exclusively supply and install “the world’s most powerful magnets” in the UK.
V-TES, formerly North Sea Power Solutions, has announced a partnership with Danish-based Engiso in a bid to target the energy industry for applications of the super-strong magnets,
The multipurpose V-Mag magnets are said to be the strongest permanent type available, retaining their full force overtime.
Coated with a layer of synthetic rubber with “outstanding” heat, ozone and weather resistance qualities, they can be coupled together to achieve extra pulling power, with capacity measured at as much as 17 tonnes.
David Gray, managing director, said: “The agreement with Engiso is greatly welcomed as it allows us to add a unique offering to the growing range of services and products at V-TES.
“We are continually looking at how we can offer different solutions that can be of real benefit to our clients’ projects.
“The magnets will mitigate the requirement of welding and drilling for permanent fixtures, thus reducing any issues created by sparks, particularly when working in a gas environment.
“The use of these super strength magnets will in many ways speed up our operations and in turn, benefit the clients we support”.
Allan Frikke Hansen, Engiso chief executive officer, added: “The partnership with V-TES is a major step for our firm.
“The collaboration allows both businesses to pass the combined knowledge and benefits onto clients and in turn offer a unique competitive advantage.
“Today’s announcement is a testament to our global outlook and commitment to delivering high-quality service on an international level.”
