Vader Combo from Brass Knuckle® “When it comes to protective equipment inspiring compliance, only one can rule the universe, and it’s the Vader Combo,” according to a news release from Brass Knuckle®. “This force to be reckoned with starts with the coolest, best-fitting, most fog-free protective eyewear product on the market. But it is significantly more than protective eyewear — Vader Combo doubles as a form-fitting face shield, all in one product.” Brass Knuckle says the Vader Combo is ideal for construction, water departments, grinding, whipping a galaxy into shape, you name it. If the application calls for a face shield, this is the one to choose. The Vader Combo joins Brass Knuckle’s Vader splash goggle with an integrated face shield, offering 180-degree peripheral vision and face coverage. The only material that touches the face is an ultra-soft conditioned rubber that forms the splash barrier. Because the face shield isn’t attached to a hard hat, it provides unprecedented mobility and visibility—the shield goes where your head goes. If a job exposes its workers to any kind of wetness or debris being thrown into their faces, the Vader Combo brings the necessary protection. It protects from the sun, from impact, from splash—and even from dangerous, temporarily impaired vision caused by fog. The Vader Combo exceeds the industry’s most stringent anti-fog standard, features a durable anti-scratch treatment and is D3 rated for droplet and splash protection. The built-in venting system helps reduce the potential for moisture buildup, helping to maintain clear vision. It provides 99.9% UV protection and fits over most prescription eyeglasses.

Dual Chamber Red Devil Furnace from Lucifer Furnaces Lucifer Furnaces, manufacturer of industrial heat-treating furnaces and ovens, shipped a dual chamber Red Devil Furnace to a customer in the Midwest. The Red Devil offered the end user a cost-effective means to heat treat their small tool steel parts in-house in a timely manner. The model RD8-KHE18 is a space saving dual chamber unit with working dimensions of 12”H x 14” W x 18” L in both upper and lower chambers. The upper hardening chamber is rated up to 2200°F, while the lower convection oven tempers up to 1200°F. This unit was customized with a programmable controller with an overtemp safety system for the upper chamber, as well as a 7-day timer with alarm for audible event notification. Both chambers are lined with a multilayered 4.5” combination of lightweight firebrick hotface insulation and mineral wool backup insulation for energy efficient operation. The firebrick is precision dry fit inside the chamber, with staggered seams for reduced heat loss while allowing for thermal expansion. Heating elements are coiled with heavy gauge wire of low watt density mounted in easy-to-replace side wall panels. The lower chamber has a rear-mounted fan for uniform circulation of heat. Ceramic hearth plates in both chambers support the workload and protect floor brick and can be replaced without removing heating elements. For more information, contact info@luciferfurnaces.com.
