Pilomat Launches New Range of Electromechanical Security Bollards

Nov 11, 2023

Summary

Leading bollard manufacturer Pilomat has introduced a new range of electromechanical security bollards that offer reliable access control with sustainability benefits. These bollards utilize an electric motor system instead of a hydraulic unit, resulting in reduced environmental impact, lower noise levels, and decreased maintenance requirements. The advanced motor technology ensures smooth and rapid movement of the bollards for responsive control of vehicle access. By removing hydraulic components, the risk of fluid leaks is eliminated, improving overall reliability and durability.

The EM series of electromechanical bollards includes three different models with sleek cylindrical bodies in normal or stainless steel. These bollards provide efficient access control for pedestrian areas, business car parks, and private driveways. They are controlled by an integrated electronic unit and can handle frequent operation up to 1000 cycles daily. The EM series offers a selection of appropriate resistance levels while maintaining fast operation and low environmental impact.

Pilomat's new EMB series of HVM bollards use innovative electromechanical technology to provide robust anti-terrorist protection. These bollards offer immense impact resistance and are certified to internationally-recognized standards. The energy-efficient brushless motor design prevents overheating and ensures consistently high performance with increased wear resistance. Rapid operating speeds are maintained through hundreds of thousands of cycles, providing consistent security.

Macs Bollards, a leading UK supplier, will soon offer Pilomat's new electromechanical bollards alongside their current top-selling P series automatic hydraulic bollards. This new range of bollards from Pilomat provides improved environmental and performance benefits. Customers can visit Macs Bollards' website to browse their current selection and receive expert advice on implementing the ideal vehicle access solution for their site.

Manchester, England, United Kingdom - November 11, 2023 /PR Fire/ —

Leading bollard manufacturer Pilomat has announced the launch of its new range of electromechanical security bollards, providing reliable access control with sustainability benefits.

Electromechanical bollards utilise an electric motor system rather than a hydraulic unit to raise and lower the barrier. This offers significant advantages compared to traditional hydraulic models including reduced environmental impact, lower noise levels, and decreased maintenance requirements.

The advanced motor technology ensures smooth, rapid movement of the bollard for responsive control of vehicle access. By removing hydraulic components, the risk of fluid leaks is also eliminated, improving overall reliability and durability even under high usage conditions.

EM Series – Reliable, Efficient Access Control

The new EM series from Pilomat includes three electromechanical bollard models – 275/EM 600A-800A, 220/EM 600A-800A and 127/EM 600A-800A. With sleek cylindrical bodies in normal or stainless steel, they offer an excellent quality to price ratio, providing efficient access control for applications like pedestrian areas, business car parks and private driveways.

Controlled by an integrated electronic unit designed for systems of up to 9 bollards, the EM series can handle frequent operation up to 1000 cycles daily. The telescopic bollard is powered up and down by the internal electromechanical actuator at smooth speeds, and features an anti-corrosion treatment for maximum durability over time. 

The bollards measure 273mm, 220mm or 127mm diameter, with heights ranging from 600mm to 800mm. This allows selection of appropriate resistance levels, while maintaining fast operation and low environmental impact.

EMB Series – Robust Protection for High Security Zones

Pilomat’s new EMB series of HVM bollards offer robust anti-terrorist protection using innovative electromechanical technology. Models 275/K4EMB 900A-1200A and 275/K12EMB 900A-1200A are designed to provide unparalleled defence for maximum security applications such as research centres, military bases, airports and government buildings.

With large 273mm diameter cylindrical bodies up to 1200mm in height, the EMB series bollards provide immense impact resistance certified to internationally-recognised PAS 68, IWA-14 and ASTM M50 (K12) standards. 

The energy-efficient brushless motor design prevents overheating, providing consistently high performance and increased wear resistance. This guarantees a longer service life with reduced maintenance needs. Rapid operating speeds are maintained through hundreds of thousands of cycles, keeping security consistently high.

A rigorous durability test by Pilomat confirmed that the 275/K12EMB model can reliably handle over 200,000 continuous cycles. This simulates an extremely demanding usage profile of 6000 cycles daily in tough outdoor conditions.

The EMB series deliver robust protection with the advantages of electromechanical operation – reduced environmental impact, minimal noise and upkeep.

Pilomat’s advanced new electromechanical bollards will soon be available from leading UK supplier Macs Bollards, alongside their current top selling P series automatic hydraulic bollards.

Celebrating 185 years of care: Watsons continues to champion women’s health and wellness

At Watsons, women’s health and wellness are at the heart of its commitment to supporting women at every stage of life. Today’s modern woman rarely fits into just one role. She moves between different priorities, responsibilities and routines, often balancing several at once. With so much to juggle, having someone to turn to for trusted health guidance can make a difference. At Watsons, pharmacists serve as Health Besties who are there to listen, answer questions and guide women toward choices that fit their needs. By making health guidance part of the everyday Watsons experience, they help make conversations about women’s health more approachable. This approach builds on 185 years of A.S. Watson Group’s experience in health and beauty retail, bringing its long-standing legacy of care into the way Watsons supports women today. Supporting her health at every stage There is no single definition of what being “well” looks like. Women have different health and wellness priorities depending on their lifestyles, concerns and stages of life, and finding the right solutions can sometimes feel overwhelming. Watsons brings together a wide range of products and services to support women’s changing health and wellness needs, with health at the core of the experience. From vitamins and supplements that support everyday nutrition to prescription and over-the-counter medicines, women can find support for both everyday and more specific health needs. Free consultations and vaccination services also encourage women to take a more proactive approach to their health. These needs extend beyond health alone, with skin care, hair care, personal care and beauty essentials also supporting the different ways women care for themselves. “At Watsons, we understand that women’s wellness is personal and constantly evolving. Her needs can change depending on her lifestyle, her priorities and the stage of life she is in. We want to make it easier for every woman to take care of herself by giving her access to trusted health, wellness, beauty and personal care solutions all in one place,” said Sharon Decapia, senior assistant vice president for marketing, public relations and sustainability at Watsons Philippines. Celebrating eight years of more with Watsons Club Having access to the right solutions is one thing; getting more value from every Watsons visit is another. For women who rely on Watsons for the everyday essentials that help them take care of themselves, Watsons Club adds another layer of value to the experience, with exclusive rewards, savings and benefits available in stores and online. As Watsons Club celebrates its eighth anniversary, members have even more reasons to celebrate. For eight years, Watsons Club has been part of members’ everyday health, wellness, beauty and personal care journeys, giving them more ways to enjoy their Watsons experience. For women navigating different routines and priorities, these member benefits offer additional ways to make everyday self-care and wellness more rewarding. For its anniversary, Watsons Club is offering more rewards and exclusive benefits for members. Members can look for green tags across Watsons stores to enjoy exclusive rewards. Being a member means getting more out of every Watsons visit. One way members can celebrate is through the Watsons Club Anniversary E-Raffle.

Watsons e-gift vouchers from Giftaway are also up for grabs for 185 winners. Members can also earn eight times the Watsons Club points on weekends when they spend at least P1,000 in a single transaction on eligible purchases at Watsons stores, through the Watsons app or at watsons.com.ph.
