... First Annual HVAC Dealer Meeting at Foxwoods On February 27, 2014, almost 300 F.W. Webb customers in the HVAC, Refrigeration and Controls industries attended our first annual HVAC Dealer Meeting at Foxwoods MGM Hotel and Casino in Ledyard, CT. The meeting was a great success and all those who attended were delighted with the information they received on the newest products and marketing programs, as well as updates on industry related changes in their markets.
F.W. Webb Company Comes to Ballston Spa, NY
The day started with lunch, followed by breakout presentations, a table top exhibit, and dinner, with a closing presentation from our keynote speaker, Talbot Gee, Vice President and COO of HARDI (Heating, Air conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International). Many attendees stayed overnight, which allowed for time to enjoy the diverse entertainments provided by Foxwoods. The event was touted as “one of the best dealer meetings ever” and we expect our second annual HVAC/R & Controls meeting in 2015 will be even better.
Webb Executives Turn Out for HVAC Dealer Meeting
Mike Bifano Store Manager Ballston Spa, NY
F.W. Webb Company’s new Ballston Spa, New York location opened its doors on Monday, January 20th. The 40,000 sq. ft. facility provides industrial, commercial and trade customers in Saratoga County with a wide selection of products and equipment as well as problem-solving and expertise. The facility also features free delivery, regular stock replenishment from our Central Distribution Center and a 36-person training room. F.W. Webb has been privileged to be a premier supplier to the Global Foundries facility in nearby Malta, NY. The Webb team has leveraged technical expertise and resources to service the expansion of the Global Foundries complex, which in turn has spurred significant growth in the area. Frank Webb’s Bath Center will open in the location later this year to serve as a resource for homeowners, designers and tradespeople.

F.W. Webb Welcomes Binghamton Locals to Management Team
Inza Receives Sixth Annual Kartanos Award
Jay Potter, F.W. Webb’s General Manager in Binghamton, NY has taken the reins of our Lebanon, NH branch from veteran Mel Hale who retired at the end of January after 30 years of service. Meet Binghamton’s new management team:
Lou Francavillo is now General Manager. Lou owned and operated a company that designed and built high-end residences in the Binghamton area for over 14 years. He and his family have lived there for over 40 years and he knows many of the local contractors and business owners. You can reach Lou by phone at 607-724-3170 or email at ljf@fwwebb.com.
Matt Dutcher, Binghamton’s Operations Manager, was most recently with a building material distributor and an HVAC contracting company. He and his family are also Binghamton locals, and he is familiar with many customers as well. Matt can be reached at 607-724-3170 or at mrd@fwwebb.com.
Made in America An F.W. Webb team spent two years researching and quoting products for the Wabanaki, built by Blount Boats of Warren, RI for Casco Bay Lines in Portland, Maine to replace the Island Romance which was introduced in 1972. The customer specified all “Made in America” products and F.W. Webb supplied all the pipe, valves & fittings used on the boat as well as other products. In an interesting departure from our usual applications, Webb also supplied piping for the rails and the smokestack (see photo). Webb is currently supplying products for a series of 25 high speed vessels that Blount Boats is building for a customer in the Netherlands.

The prestigious 2013 Lothar Kartanos Memorial Award for outstanding sales performance was presented in February to Sharon Inza of the Methuen Branch. F.W. Webb presents this award each year to the industrial sales person who has best exemplified the excellence of Lothar Kartanos’ legacy throughout the year. Kartanos represented F.W. Webb for almost 25 years in the industrial marketplace, earning respect in an industry he loved. He spent a lifetime working with Webb sales people and customers at paper mills, power plants, chemical plants, colleges, hospitals and manufacturing sites. He loved walking the customer’s process, from the pumps and piping to the process control and automation. “Lothar truly made a difference,” noted Ernie Coutermarsh, Webb’s Senior Vice President for Industrial Sales. Previous recipients of the award are Devon Craig, Williston, VT; Steve Perkins, Syracuse, NY; Daryl Schoellkopf, Winslow, ME; Chuck Osborne, Bangor, ME and Gordon Bailey, Dover, NH.

Polypropylene – PP • Main applications include mineral acids, water, salts in water, and effluent treatment chemicals. Glass • Used in multi-process chemical plants on acids and solvents.
Hard Rubber – NR/HRL • Used for salts in water, dilute mineral acids, chlorine water, de-ionized water, plating solutions and potable water. Soft Butyl Rubber – IIR/BL • Good for corrosive and abrasive slurries, mineral acids and acidic slurries. Neoprene – CR • Particularly suitable for animal, vegetable, fatty oils and greases. Abrasion resistance over wide pH range—used for aggressive slurries. Soft Natural Rubber - AA/SRL • High abrasion resistance. Suitable for use on powders, abrasive slurries, clays, coal dust, dry fertilizer and gypsum.
xomox® 067 sleeve plug valve Eliminate unscheduled downtime and maintenance...plus get greatly extended service life. Many processors experience dramatic cost reductions when they switch from ball and gate valves. A simple turn of the top adjustment bolts keeps the sleeve sealing tightly and the valve in service. Two independent sealing systems provide double protection against atmospheric leakage.
Spring 2014
Trouble-free sealing is provided by the large, full-circumferential PTFE sleeve. No ball or gate valve can match this sealing capacity. The PTFE sleeve has a low coefficient of friction. It acts as a lubricant. Ease of operation is assured, even when the valve is left open or closed for extended periods. Standard cost and greatly extended service life assure exceptionally low, long-term cost-of-ownership.

Eccentric Disc pumps Mouvex® Eccentric Disc Pumps Provide 80-90% Product Recovery Rates In Food and Beverage Applications Mouvex offers a complete portfolio of Eccentric Disc Pumps for use in productrecovery operations in food-and-beverage manufacture and handling. Product loss is often treated as nothing more than an acceptable “cost of doing business” in food-and-beverage manufacture. In reality, though, simply flushing away costly raw materials or disposing of saleable finished products that may remain in transfer lines at the end of production runs can annually take thousands of dollars off the manufacturer’s bottom line. Additionally, since food-and beverage manufacturing processes must be hygienic, all pumps used in production must be cleaned and sanitized after every use or product changeover; this can also lead to large amounts of lost product. Realizing the amount of money that food-and-beverage manufacturers are losing everyday, Mouvex offers its SLS Series, C Series, S Series and Micro C Series Eccentric Disc Pump models for use in food-and-beverage manufacture. Mouvex’s unique eccentric disc principle of operation allows the pumps to operate efficiently with virtually no slip, even when pumping air. This
makes it possible for the pump to produce a partial vacuum effect on the suction side and a compressor effect on the discharge side, in the process creating a “plug” effect that pushes the remaining product out of the transfer line as a whole. This superior suction and compression effect enables Mouvex Eccentric Disc Pumps to recover product from transfer lines at typical rates of 80% to 90%, potentially resulting in thousands of dollars of cost savings per year. Other operational benefits inherent in all Mouvex eccentric disc models include dry-run and self-priming capabilities, sealless design that eliminates leakage, shear-sensitive operation and the ability for clean-in-place (CIP)/sanitize-in-place (SIP). Mouvex eccentric disc pumps have earned hygienic certifications from a number of regulating agencies, including EHEDG, 3A and the new European Commission (EC) Regulation No. 1935/2004, which applies to all food-contact materials during production.
ZP3 Series Pumps Ampco Pumps Company ZP3 (patent pending) front loading seal design for ZP series pumps. This seal is designed to 3A standards and has passed the stringent EHEDG clean ability requirements. In addition to being fully "clean in place", the seal can be serviced without the need to remove the rotor body and piping. Also, the front loading nature of the seal eliminates the "dead zone" in the shaft bore. Existing ZP2 pumps (and competitors’ pumps) can be upgraded to the ZP3 design with new rotors, new seals and re-machining the existing rotor case.
The ZP3 offers a standard stainless steel four mount gear case. ZP3 gear cases are 100% interchangeable with the ZP2 pump and competing models. The ZP3 is suitable for sanitary applications including bakery, candy, dairy, meats, cosmetics and more. All of the features of the new ZP3 eliminate downtime, save money and reduce inventory expense.

Electronic Differential Pressure for Level Measurement – With Metal and Ceramic Sensor Eliminate mechanical issues with Endress+Hauser’s new electronic differential pressure systems Differential Pressure measurement is often used to measure the level in pressurized and vacuum tanks. Traditional differential pressure measurement using impulse lines and capillaries have issues that can lead to less accuracy, process safety risks and greater total cost of ownership. This is especially the case with tall distillation towers, evaporators or other vessels with varying ambient temperatures.
Now with The Solution Metal and The Deltabar FMD71/FMD72 system Ceramic Cells! uses proven pressure sensor technology in a new and innovative way. The system consists of just one transmitter and two sensor modules. One sensor module measures the hydrostatic level (high pressure) and the other one the head/blanket pressure (low pressure). The electronic dp system is available with piezoresistive oil-filled measuring cells with a metal diaphragm – Deltabar FMD72 – as well as with capacitive Ceraphire® ceramic cells – Deltabar FMD71. The level is calculated in the transmitter using these two values. The design of the system and the electronic architecture increase the reliability and safety of the system and save costs. Reliable. Safe. Cost Effective. • Eliminate measurement drift due to ambient temperature changes - up to 95% • Differential pressure, head pressure and sensor temperature from one system - available via HART® • Continuous health indication of the entire system via HART® diagnostics • Faster response time than traditional capillary systems - up to 10 times faster! • Eliminate tubing and connection leaks often seen with traditional systems • Eliminate line condensation or evaporation events (dry/wet leg inconsistencies) and plugging events • Reduce field personnel safety exposure risks • Use existing wiring when installing replacement systems • No system recalibration or reconfiguration required with any component change • Water tight, quick disconnect between sensors • Fewer spare parts – replace individual components of the system as needed • No need for varying lengths of capillary systems, just shorten the cable • Just one technician to install entire system

On February 26 we launched a focused training effort with more than 20 Account Managers in attendance at our new Springfield, MA facility. Industry Expert John Murphy from the Dolphin 8 Company led the training, introducing industry specific language, regulatory concerns and explaining how manufacturers can benefit from the services and capabilities of the F. W. Webb Company. John also covered a detailed review of a typical dairy plant design, highlighting where we can “Improve the Process” to help us understand what the customer needs to keep their process systems running. Understanding the language nuances across a multifaceted industry is critical to our success. John’s presentation was a refreshing step forward, helping our team gain recognition of how to impact the customer's bottom line by ultimately reducing their net cost per unit sold. Spirax Sarco’s Francis Maheno followed with a market specific presentation: “How to Maximize Efficiencies in the Steam System”. Ted Haley introduced our new line of Mixing and Blending equipment through Fusion Fluid. Webb offers mixing solutions for top, side and bottom mount mixers including fully automated turnkey systems. Chris Sears, Ted Haley, and Christine McVey ended with an open discussion to pull the group together, using a Team Cross Selling Strategy and Support Structure to get us started. A market focus takes the cooperation of all our disciplines to ensure the customer has access across all of our Industrial Specialty Divisions. The entire effort was an example of F. W. Webb’s commitment to deliver and maintain the highest level of expertise in the Northeast. We would like to thank Ernie Coutermarsh, Mike Leander, Frank Angeloro, and Gary Rose for their valuable support.

energy saving commercial equipment
The vrv total solution Many buildings today typically operate quite separate systems for heating, cooling,refrigeration and hot water. As a result, a huge amount of energy is wasted. To provide a much more efficient alternative, VRV technology has been developed into a total solution for heating, cooling, refrigeration and ventilation. Air conditioning, refrigeration and cooling IT servers can generate masses of waste heat that can be reused to heat and ventilate other areas of the building or to provide hot water for wash rooms, at a much reduced cost. By understanding the whole building’s heating and cooling needs at the outset, an integrated climate control solution can be delivered that offers much higher energy efficiency levels, thus reducing the carbon impact of a building. This means that all internal and external conditions must be taken into account in the design of the climate control system.

These revolutionary tools may reinvent the way we all look at cutting pipe in the future.

A very versatile offering that will cut Stainless Steel Pipe, Carbon Steel Pipe, Ductile Iron Pipe, Cast Iron Pipe, Copper Tubing as well as all Plastic Pipe. Want to learn more? Drop me a line for a discussion or to set up a demonstration.
"We use the Exact 280E pipe cutting saw daily. We cut sleeves anywhere from 3" schedule 40 to 10" schedule 40 steel pipe. Cutting pipe to be grooved later is fast and the new saw always cuts square. There is no grinding and it's always a nice clean cut. A job foreman will call the prefab shop and ask for pieces to be cut, no time wasted setting up a hydronic cutter for 2 cuts. We just grab the Exact from the gang box and cut what we need. Whether it is 2 pieces or 25 pieces, it's a lot quicker with the Exact. This tool is a real time saver." Dave Brown, Foreman Granite State Prefabrication Shop

Regular Surveys Maintain Steam Trap Effectiveness
The steam trap is a vital component of any steam system. A steam trap’s sole purpose is to remove unwanted condensate from steam pipework. According to the Department Of Energy, failing to properly maintain your steam system for three or more years can render up to 30% of the steam trap population inoperable. Did you know? • A failed-open trap with an 1/8” orifice, operating at 100 psig will discharge 52.8 lb/hr of steam. At a cost of $9 per 1,000 lbs, that’s over $4,000 a year wasted – by one steam trap! Give your steam trap population the care and attention it deserves today. A Spirax Sarco steam trap survey will identify, tag, test and report on every trap in your facility. Contact your local F.W. Webb representative today to learn more about a Spirax Sarco steam trap survey.
