Flexibility and precision – and that in large quantities: The demands placed on tube and pipe bending processes in the shipping and offshore industries are enormous. With the CNC 220 HD Schwarze-Robitec has now delivered a suitable solution to the Norwegian company Framo. The manufacturer of pump solutions for cargo offloading systems and oil and gas extraction processes now uses the reliable and highly robust tube and pipe bending machine for the fast and efficient production of custom-fit tube and pipe systems. Different tube geometries can be processed flexibly using the corresponding bending tools. All necessary tool changes can be carried out quickly and easily with a new system. This results in reduced refitting times and a boost in productivity.
Framo, based in Bergen, Norway, has been a renowned manufacturer of pump systems for more than 80 years – and is the market leader world-wide for cargo pumping systems. For the shipbuilding industry, tube and pipe bending machines that enable fast and very precise bending of complex tubes and pipes are in demand. This is because precision is an important prerequisite for the later assembly of the tube and pipe systems.
For processing tubes and pipes with larger diameters and made of high-strength duplex steel, Schwarze-Robitec has now equipped Framo with a new CNC 220 HD: The tube and profile cold bending machine is designed for permanent use under heavy loads, as it has a particularly high level of rigidity. It is ideal for absorbing extreme bending forces and thus prevents the machine body from twisting. The powerful and low-noise machine from the Heavy Duty series from Schwarze-Robitec processes tubes made of various materials, such as steel, copper/nickel/iron alloy and stainless steel. For Framo, the 30-ton machine bends tubes up to a diameter of 219 mm with a maximum wall thickness of 12 mm. Its specific range of services even includes tubes with demanding dimensions, such as 208 x 4 mm and 168 x 14 duplex – Schwarze-Robitec individually responds to such customer-specific requirements with every order.
Armed for the future with special equipment
The flange tube equipment enables bending, flanging on both sides of flanged tubes and folded tubes with loose flanges. This eliminates the need for subsequent flanging of bent tubes and the bending process is optimized in terms of time and costs. With the help of an adapter and a gripping device, the individual tool components are connected to form a set. This allows the heavy tools to be changed quickly and ergonomically using a crane. The existing tools can also be ideally integrated into the system. Another special feature of the CNC 220 HD supplied is the swing-out wiper die allowing for extremely short remaining lengths. The wiper die is swung out before the final bend for a tube or pipe system so that the index head can move the tube extremely close to the bend former. This way, users achieve the shortest possible lengths for the final bend – tube and pipe waste is significantly reduced, which effectively lowers production costs. The intuitively operated CNC control of the tube and pipe bending machine enables safe and proactive remote maintenance through simple access to all diagnostic functions.

Bormia Bio Homogenizer “The Future Has Begun”
Innovation in homogenization in industrial food processing requires new and holistic thinking. This is worthwhile, because genuine natural processes in food processing combine “Ecology & Economy” in just one process step and at the same time increase product quality. The new BORMIA® Bio Homogenizer is a further development of the BORMIA® Bio Spring Water Generator, whose effect on the organism has been certified by cell biology and biophysics. These extraordinary results are directly transferable to all product results of the Bio Homogenizer.
Costs down & quality up…
The cost/benefit optimization in food processing is mostly exhausted. However, optimization is only just beginning with the Bormia® Bio Homogenizer and the Bormia® Bio Spring Water Generator. Compared with conventional technology the devices are highly advantageous for manufacturers, retailers and consumers, means: Cost-effective and up to date process, reduces manufacturing costs through production simplification, maintenance-free, high germ stability in the product and top hygiene due to the use of the Bio Spring Water Generator for service and cleaning water, low cleaning effort with organic cleaning agents, cold and hot homogenization, new innovative products with longer shelf life, extremely environmentally friendly, no rejects, high customer satisfaction and customer loyalty due to increased food quality and product benefit…
The new Bio Homogenizer is suitable for high-quality products such as milk, whey mix drinks, soya-, rice-, almond- and oat milk, smoothies, etc… Depending on the liquids used, their particle size and fat content, the organic homogenizer produces particle sizes down to the nanometer range.
The Bio Spring Water Generator is suitable for the production for beer, wine, soft drinks and similar beverages. Advantages are (as an example):
a) Beer production: direct filling after filtration, increased extract yield (VZ 45), export beer without pasteurization
b) Lemonade production: increased taste, refreshing effect and drinking enjoyment
c) Wine blending: maximum taste symbiosis, increases the degree of ripeness after filtration
d) Juice and mixed drinks: taste symbiosis and stability
The following 2 pictures are dried water drops. They show an example of how the both devices work:

Pic. right: 2 µ water with Bormia treatment… A large separation of the ingredients (minerals) is visible (see pics in original articlelinc)
The Bormia® Bio Homogenizer is a further development of the Bormia® Bio Spring Water Generator. It is the first water treatment system that works according to natural principles, is copied 1:1 from nature herself and works according to the Mini-Max principle: “Low effort & maximum yields”! The Bormia principle delivers purified, germ-stable and colloidal drinking water and transfers it to the products and their manufacturing processes. With these unusual properties, the Bormia® principle supports the simplified, stable and holistic production orientation. The extension of the best-before date is the result of this naturally oriented food technology.
Bionics is the technology of the future
Both devices belong to bionics. Bionics is not just biotechnology. Bionics is a principle copied from nature into applicable technology, which then also generates the associated natural results. The functionality of both systems for modern food processing is comparable with the human heart. It swirls the blood arterially left circulating into the body and venous right circulating back. This makes the heart a harmonizing high-performance vortex chamber with functional stability. Like the heart, the BORMIA® Bio Homogenizer and the BORMIA® Bio Spring Water Generator are built in the Golden Section. Both systems swirl both sides and create harmony. They are mirror-like, rhythmic, use pressure and vacuum moments, invert and restructure the product organically. STRUCURE creates STABILITY. Maximum bioavailability and increased product safety are partial results.
The picture below describes the Bormia® Bio Homogenizer in its individual steps.

If websites make use of social plugins, the ECJ has ruled that the provider and the operator of the site are jointly responsible for the collection and transfer of personal user information.
Many website operators use what are referred to as social plugins by embedding them on their website. While the site operators are then jointly responsible for the collection and transfer of personal information, they are generally not responsible for the subsequent processing of this data by the provider of the social plugins. That was the verdict of the European Court of Justice in a ruling from July 29 (Az.: C-40/17). We at the commercial law firm MTR Rechtsanwälte https://www.mtrlegal.com/en.html note that this might mean in practice that website operators have to obtain the consent of their users, for instance by requiring an extra click for consent.
An online fashion retailer had embedded a “Gefällt mir” button, i.e., a “like” button, on its website. The consumer advice center for the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Verbraucherzentrale NRW, took issue with this. It claimed that because of the button, personal information was being transferred to the provider of the social plugin from just loading the webpage, and that this was happening without the user”s knowledge and irrespective of whether the user was even registered with the relevant social network.
The Verbraucherzentrale considered the integration of the button a breach of data protection laws and filed an injunction suit. The case came before the ECJ.
The European Court of Justice held that the operator of the website may be deemed to be jointly responsible, together with the provider of the social plugin, for the collection and transfer of personal information, as it could be assumed that the website operator and the plugin provider jointly decided on the purposes and means, and that they both have an economic interest in the data. The Court went on to state that the operator of this kind of website must, therefore, make certain information available to users at the point in time when the data is being collected, for example regarding identity and the purpose of processing. However, the site operator is generally not responsible for the subsequent processing of the data after it has been transferred.
While the final details have yet to be clarified by the OLG Düsseldorf, website operators need to prepare themselves for having to obtain the consent of their users if the former wish to embed social plugins on their website. Lawyers with experience in IT law can offer advice.
