RARE EARTH GRATE HYDRAULIC POWER UNITS
Power Unit’s pressure-compensating, variable-volume pump is the “brain” which computes the most efficient GPM possible, so hydraulic circuit precisely meets changing power needs of hydraulically-driven equipment. Power Unit is simple to operate. Set required volume from 0 to 17 GPM with its external handwheel control. When circuit reaches maximum GPM, the pump stands ready to automatically recalculate oil flow as changes require. It then instantly adjusts GPM down as near to O as feasible while maintaining max. 3000 psi for peak efficiency. Power Unit is ideal for driving machinery with hard-starting loads, and for applications as “low pressure fast approach and return” and “high pressure slow feed”. Roberts Electric Co.
The PM Rare Earth Grate in Housings is suitable for removing fine ferrous contamination from plastic pellets, flake and regrind prior to the injection molding machine, extruder or compounding equipment. They are essential tools for applications where product purity is crucial. The state-of-the-art magnets remove fine ferrous material that can plug tiny valve gates and screens or damage calendar rolls.

The Truth About Compressed Air! If you think compressed air is too expensive and noisy - read this. The facts will surprise you!
Compare these Blowoffs
Facts about Blowers
There are a variety of ways to blow the water from the bottles shown in the photo below, but which method is best? To decide, we ran a comparison test on the same application using four different blowoff methods: drilled pipe, flat air nozzles, Super Air Knife (each using compressed air as a power source), and a blower supplied air knife (using an electric motor as a power source). Each system consisted of two twelve inch long air knives. The following comparison proves that the EXAIR Super Air Knife is the best choice for your blowoff, cooling or drying application.
Energy conscious plants might think a blower to be a better choice due to its slightly lower electrical consumption compared to a compressor. In reality, a blower is an expensive capital expenditure that requires frequent downtime and costly maintenance of filters, belts and bearings. Here are some important facts:
The goal for each of the blowoff choices was to use the least amount of air possible to get the job done (lowest energy and noise level). The compressed air pressure required was 60 PSIG which provided adequate velocity to blow the water off. The blower used had a ten horsepower motor and was a centrifugal type blower at 18,000 RPM. The table at the bottom of the page summarizes the overall performance. Since your actual part may have an odd configuration, holes or sharp edges, we took sound level measurements in free air (no impinging surface).
Filters must be replaced every one to three months. Belts must be replaced every three to six months. Typical bearing replacement is at least once a year at a cost near $1000.
Drilled Pipe
Blower Air Knife
This common blowoff is very inexpensive and easy to make. For this test, we used (2) drilled pipes, each with (25) 1/16” diameter holes on 1/2” centers. As shown in the test results below, the drilled pipe performed poorly. The initial cost of the drilled pipe is overshadowed by its high energy use. The holes are easily blocked and the noise level is excessive - both of which violate OSHA requirements. Velocity across the entire length was very inconsistent with spikes of air and numerous dead spots.
The blower proved to be an expensive, noisy option. As noted below, the purchase price is high. Operating cost was considerably lower than the drilled pipe and flat air nozzle, but was comparable to EXAIR’s Super Air Knife. The large blower with its two 3” (8cm) diameter hoses requires significant mounting space compared to the others. Noise level was high at 90 dBA. There was no option for cycling it on and off to conserve energy like the other blowoffs. Costly bearing and filter maintenance along with downtime were also negative factors.
Flat Air Nozzles
EXAIR Super Air Knife
As shown below, this inexpensive air nozzle was the worst performer. It is available in plastic, aluminum and stainless steel from several manufacturers. The flat air nozzle provides some entrainment, but suffers from many of the same problems as the drilled pipe. Operating cost and noise level are both high. Some manufacturers offer flat air nozzles where the holes can be blocked - an OSHA violation. Velocity was inconsistent with spikes of air.
The Super Air Knife did an exceptional job of removing the moisture on one pass due to the uniformity of the laminar airflow. The sound level was extremely low. For this application, energy use was slightly higher than the blower but can be less than the blower if cycling on and off is possible. Safe operation is not an issue since the Super Air Knife can not be dead-ended. Maintenance costs are low since there are no moving parts to wear out.
• Blower bearings wear out quickly due to the high speeds (17-20,000 RPM) required to generate effective airflows. • Poorly designed seals that allow dirt and moisture infiltration and environments above 125°F decrease the one year bearing life. • Many bearings can not be replaced in the field, resulting in downtime to send the assembly back to the manufacturer. Blowers take up a lot of space and often produce sound levels that exceed OSHA noise level exposure requirements. Air volume and velocity are often difficult to control since mechanical adjustments are required. To discuss an application, contact:

Hougen has introduced a newly designed carrying handle for many of its drill systems that provides more hand comfort in transporting the units, improves balance in handling the drills, and assists in positioning them for more accurate hole locations. The new handle will come standard with the HMD150 low profile drill model, and offered as an accessory for the HMD115 ultra-low profile system, the various styles of the HMD904 general duty drills and the power feed HMD925 units. The new carry handle features a comfort shaped arc configuration along with formed finger indents that provide a relaxed grip and secure fit. Once the drills are transported to a drilling location, the handles can be easily removed by loosening a knurled nut, returning the drill to its original height allowing it to fit into the tightest of spaces. Hougen Manufacturing, Inc.
Stanley Proto has added four new Quick Release Ratchets to its lineup. The new ratchets come in 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” drive sizes and include a low-profile quick release button on the backtop of the ratchet head. They are designed to securely hold sockets while in use, making it possible for users to change sockets with one hand. Besides their quick-release feature, the new low profile ratchets should also make it easy to install or remove fasteners in hard to reach work areas. Each ratchet has a pear-shaped head that’s small enough to slip into tight spots, as well as a 45-tooth internal gear design that provides an 8-degree ratcheting arc. Each ratchet also has a low profile reversing lever that allows for quick, one-handed direction changes. Stanley Proto

STAGELINE GROUP INAUGURATES ENERGYEFFICIENT BUILDING S tageline Group, a world leader in the design, manufacture and rental of mobile stages, has inaugurated an energy-efficient building in L’Assompion, Quebec. Built at a cost of $6.5 million, with 20 percent of this amount earmarked to meet the “green construction” and “energy efficiency” LEED certification criteria, the Stageline Group facility constitutes a first among small and medium-size industrial businesses in Quebec. “We did not hesitate to invest in innovative concepts that have made our building a unique laboratory,” declared Stageline Group president and chief operating officer Lise Morissat. “Together with MuroxEnergy, we developed a practical method for successfully executing a sustainable-construction project specific to small and medium-size businesses.” A green building like Stageline Group’s produces energy savings of 70 percent compared to a conventional structure. The firm thus expects to make a profit on its investment within six years and believes that eco-responsible construction can be profitable for SMBs provided that financial-support mechanisms are in place. Stageline’s Group’s new facility, covering early 3,760 sq. m has been designed to meet the stringent LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) norms of the Canada Green Building Council. The building combines a highenergy-efficiency exterior envelope, deep geothermal power and solar energy harnessing systems, radiant flooring, and
windows and light wells that maximize natural lighting and energy conservation. A system collects rainwater for reuse eco and exterior spaces are ecologically laid out. Recycled materials and materials that have no harmful health efef con fects were used in the construction process, whereas waste, pollutants and dust were minimized.

This new adaptive enclosure heat containment (AEHC) system for data centers will ensure that the entire room is normalized with cold air to just the right amount, with no wasteful oversupply of cooling. In the new Belden system, a pressure reading made by a sensor inside the enclosure plenum modulated the rotational speed of the fans in the two cartridges mounted atop the enclosure. The speed is varied so that they pull out exactly the correct amount of air from the enclosure and send it back to the air conditioner return via a ceiling plenum. Since the system completely separates the hot and cold side of operations, the room will be normalized with cool air which never experiences mixing with exhaust heat from the enclosure.

PROGRAMMABLE ACTUATOR
The Haydon IDEA™ Drive stepper motor linear actuator is an integrated linear actuator, electronic drive, and control unit fully programmable with an easy-touse patent pending GUI (Graphic User Interface). Programming the actuator is through the use of on-screen buttons instead of complicated proprietary programming languages. A unique benefit of the IDEA Drive GUI is the automatic population of the motor and drive parameters based on entering the actuator part number when prompted by the user interface.

LIGHT-DIRECTED FULFILMENT
These Pick-to-Light fulfilment technologies are environmentally friendly. Pick, Put and Pack-to-Light order selection and sortation strategies are paperless, and therefore conserve natural resources. Lightning Pick’s typical light module requires a mere 1.3 watts of power which is only required for short intervals, until a pick is made and the light is extinguished. The LED lamps in the modules provide a highly-visible, bright and clear light at much lower power levels. All connections in proximity to the employees using the system carry only 12 volts DC.

COMPANY SWITCHES CLEANER TO SAFELY IMPROVE shop appearance in less time
F
inding the right product can be a challenge, especially when you have an excess to choose from and a lengthy checklist of cleaning requirements. And in the end, you can still end up with products that don’t work the way you need them to. Rob Graham, Director of Service Operations Kenworth Truck Centre (KTC) in Concord, Ontario, had little success in the past finding a product that worked for his shop. He was frustrated by products leaving residue on his floor, that proved to be quite slippery and made his shop appear unclean. More recently, industrial shops such as Kenworth Truck Centre, have been
achieving successful results with the new Shell CALLINA 1210 Shop Floor Cleaning Fluid. CALLINA 1210 is a nontoxic, non-abrasive, highly concentrated product. It works in a variety of applications, including engines, machinery, pressure washers, powered floor scrubbers, and mop buckets, eliminating the need for multiple products and thus helping to reduce inventory. Steve Paul, Lube Technician, with Kenworth Truck Centre in Concord, who pressure washes the pit walls in his lube bay with CALLINA 1210 comments: “The grease and oils wash off easily with CALLINA 1210 but the secondary effects of the product are even
better. It has taken us much less effort and much less product to keep the walls cleaner on subsequent washings.” “CALLINA 1210 Fluid is a high performance, general purpose cleaner that leaves behind a quick drying anti-slip film that may reduce the potential for slips and keeps floors clean, but makes subsequent cleanings easier,” says David Lawrence, Marketing Manager, Industrial Sectors, Shell Canada Products. Rob Graham, Director of Service Operations at Kenworth Truck Centre, agrees with that comment by saying, “CALLINA left no residue and made my shop very clean. It’s a product that is quick
