- Interview with Antonio Panico
Owner and founder of F.P.A. srl, a fluid handling consulting company and official distributor of ARO pumps. 🟥 Hi Antonio, FPA was founded in 2010 to provide tailored solutions for fluid handling to ceramic market in Italy. Recently the company have grown expanding his service to other markets. When you started the company, what made you choose ARO® ? When I started, the installed base in ceramic industry was quite fragmented through different brands but none was proposing a full organised portfolio for the application. At that time ARO was launching the EXP line with the Santoprene diaphragms in their pumps. That was a game changer for the market a new model, innovative and reliable. Still today ARO means robust and reliable pumps. 🟥 Your have strong experience in the ceramic sector, an industry where diaphragm pumps are highly used and where price competition is very aggressive. What are the strengths that allow you to overcome this barrier? In this environment even recent products from competition still show their limits (e.g. icing or stalling) where ARO provides a smooth, continuous and reliable operation. This is a value for the customer. ARO means quality! 🟥 In pumps business offer is wide. It is important for you that end users keep their focus on your proposal. How do you keep your customer's focus high? Contact with customers is the key. The advantage I have, representing mainly ARO, is that I can keep weekly contact with my customer. In addition I provide a service by keeping a minimum stock of parts they need to guarantee they can have smooth operations with no worries. 🟥 The aftermarket business sees the continuous increase of competition especially from pirate parts. Those, once installed in the pumps, cause all ARO warranty and support to lapse. As an official ARO distributor, how do you manage to overcome this kind of competition by breaking the price barrier? Genuine parts are results of many years of ARO experience and this need to be explained to end users. With all my customer I always put Genuine part at the center of my discussion and this type of approach pays back. Sometimes we also need to do price efforts, but customer accept to recognize a premium for Genuine parts and service that ARO and F.P.A. provide. We thank Antonio and F.P.A. s.r.l. for this interview. Interview taken from the Voice of Partner di ARO
- Did You Know? ARO Powder Pumps ...
Powder pumps are an interesting addition to standard ARO air operated diaphragm pump portfolio. Feature and Benefits: Replace manual powder processes Reduce airborne contamination - with direct transfer from the powder container to your recipe Unique patented air-induction system - reduces the possibility of powder pack-out Economical and Simple - unlike large, complex systems Portable - can be moved from site to site Working principle: Air valves and ports used to keep powders in a semi-fluid state Cycling of the pump moves the fluidized powder. Timer delay allows the “powder chambers” to fluidize and suspend prior to the pump cycling. ARO offerings: Powder pump exists in three sizes, and two metallic materials.

- Q-BOX: safety transfer and recovery of fluids!
Transporting an ARO pump to the workplace, quickly and safely is now possible! Our Q-Box was born from the idea of being able to transport an ATEX conductive polypropylene ARO pump to the workplace and to be able to install it quickly for safety transfer and safety fluid recovery operations. ✅ PRACTICALITY in transferring or recovering fluids The Q-box system is ready to use, it requires two simple steps: connect the compressed air hose to the ARO pump and operate the system with the appropriate pneumatic switch! ✅ 360° SAFETY in transferring or recovering fluids The operator will already find, inside the box, personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, earplugs, standard masks inside. The idea is to prevent any forgetfulness of the operator and to increase the safety of the operations to be carried out. The customer will be able to report to F.P.A. the characteristics of the PPE to be included in the Q-BOX. The Q-Box is grounded to prevent any form of spark or galvanic current development.

- Safe Industrial Lifting and Handling Systems
There are solutions for moving heavy loads like the winch but why do we propose alternative solutions for moving industrial loads? The answer is as simple as it is important: Safety Safety on workplace in the Ceramic Industry Ceramics is constantly updated on the risk factors linked to the manual handling of heavy loads. In recent years, Italian and Mediterranean Ceramic Companies have carried out various technical/organizational interventions that have made it possible to improve workplace well-being and prevent the onset of pathologies related to the musculoskeletal system. The growing awareness of the problem has lead ceramic companies to evaluate a careful selection of products for loading and handling heavy ceramic products. Ingersoll Rand Pneumatic, Electric and Mechanical Balancers Safe Industrial Lifting and Handling Systems Ingersoll Rand pneumatic balancers and positioners allow you to not only lift the load, but also keep it suspended; the load is moved and handled manually in a precise, safe way and without "tossing" effect produced by traditional winches . PNEUMATIC BALANCERS have a capacity included between 22 to 909 kg . INTELLIGENT LIFTING DEVICES eliminate the need for lift and lower controls by sensing the force exerted by the operator and translating it into precise vertical movements. These devices are ideal for applications where real load control is required up to 455 kg . MECHANICAL SPRING BALANCERS are ideal for applications where a constant weight must travel a relatively short vertical distance (e.g. power tools, welding guns). These balancers can be used with weights up to 165 kg . INGERSOLL RAND Zero Gravity lifting system installed at end-user Ceramics sector
