OZ499: COUNTDOWN FOR THE FIRST SPORT-DESIGN COLLECTION

On Monday 12th of May 2008 started the countdown for OZ499, a new generation’s model of hi-tech creations for sport, with a DNA that raise them up as design icons.

Result of the synergy between OZ – world leader in the field of light alloy wheels – and Carlesso, bike-industry company from northeastern Italy, OZ499 is a joint effort outcome on a research for new materials and technologies. This project was launched last autumn and will be completed next August with the presentation of the first example.

“A world-beating creation – declared the managers of the two companies - an extraordinary fusion of art and sport that will talk the language of a new modernity not only to sportsmen but also and above all to enthusiasts, collectors and sector’s lovers”.

At the moment the two companies are maintaining the utmost reserve on the brand-new work, but they announced that further information will be released on-line starting from the 31st of May on www.oz499.com

The web address is already operative, with a big countdown that shows how much time is missing until the release of the temporary web site. And those who would like to be up-to-date about the event will be able to get news preview just registering on the apposite on line form.

Coffee break: small daily timeless pleasure

Drinking a cup of coffee is a small daily pleasure which is part of each one of us, synonymous with relaxation is the best excuse to take a moment to pause. Rarely, however, there dwells to think of the origins of this gesture and this drink become synonymous of behavior.

Around this drink have created many legends and folk traditions there who says that already the time of Homer, in the city of Troy, used coffee. The first coffee in Europe seems to be come even around 900 - 1000 AD thanks to the many ships that brought unknown goods from all parts.

One thing certain is what he sees sip this dark drink, become, in what is today Yemen, a real custom, even supported by the government that praised its energy quality.
For Europe is somewhat 'say that certainly the first coffee came through the Venetian traders, in 1615, especially remembers Prospero Alpini, botanist, physician of Venice’s console, who studied the drink and brought to the knowledge of the Venice’s city. At first the coffee was also used for its digestive and medical properties and also for this its price was immediately quite high.

Today we find yet “Caffè Florian”, one of the oldest coffee’s shop, under the arcades of St Mark’s Square, Venice, which even then to disseminate this drink, did distribute a text that praised properties.

In today's hectic life can not miss the time for coffee break and is in the workplace as in our homes and in bars has become increasingly demanding, for this reason, coffee machines and drink machines are now becoming increasingly technological equipment and we don’t count more versions and variations, all designed to enhance quality in its various aroma of coffee.

We find so espresso professional machines, but also those semi-or for private consumption; are available automatic drink espresso machines that allow enjoy anytime of the day, both in workspace and along a corridor, each variant of espresso coffee, barley, decaffeinated. In the new models of coffee machines for domestic use are lines of innovative and elegant design because the machine also expressed become an object of furniture and enriches every environment, joining an increasingly sophisticated technology in making coffee to a design increasingly minimalist.

For use in the workplace, very comfortable and versatile are the drink machines, machines that allow fully automated, simply by inserting coins of small denomination, to have ready in a few seconds a hot or cold drink, depending on the request. In these machines the hot drink sugared already exits, with the amount preset and there is a small stick to turn sugar. Now all distributors have the use of key for those who normally use the machine or give the rest to those who are just passing through.

In every place, at home or at work, the coffee break is around the corner, the hot drink that hides traditions and ancient stories is a daily pleasure that today, thanks to technological development in machinery and in drink machines, you can consume comfortably in any environment.

Brass butterfly valves, push fittings for multilayer pipe and the necessary for water installations

Italian industry is based upon a productivity that comes from first class machineries that need the maximum efficiency in any use condition.

No matter if is involved the heavy industry or not, machineries quality needs to be maximum, as their resistance to stress.

Primary importance, in water pipes or high pressure water pipes, have the brass butterfly valves or the push fittings for multilayer pipe.

These are main components for the right use of all machineries with water or pressure circuit guaranteeing a perfect use; above all these are fundamental elements for the safety of machinery itself and the consequent safety of workers.

In a working installation acquire a great importance many other parts. These assure the right working of machinery: the split body ball valves and the brass check valves that work to stabilize the pressure inside the water circuits so to regulate the flow of steam or water under pressure.

In the circuits where flow high pressure flux is fundamental the presence of a pneumatic actuators that resist to pressure and to high temperatures.

For this reason is fundamental the use of brass butterfly valves able to regulate the inner flows of pipes, varying the opening of the valve according to the pressure, and push fittings for multilayer pipe that interacting with the butterfly valves are able to optimize the in and out pressure maintaining the plant safety and in working order.
