    Conveyor belt

    Chris: I'm looking at your pics and wondering if there is not a simple solution in building baffles that will hold or direct the product to stay centered between the conveyor verticle side [sine] walls. Have the baffles form a "vee", ending about .5 meter down stream. Excess product will be...

    clean air

    Kenvlach: The "Nylon line" is the same line/hosing we use on our machinery to supply air cylinders and air valving. This is not a main supply line, but a small 3/8" line, tee'd from a 2" black iron pipe main line. I would be suprised if anybody found this configuration not acceptable. Our...

    clean air

    Our plan is to "tee" into the air system on a main line near the compressor. We will run a "down drop" at that point down to a mechanical water trap. The new [nylon] air line will run verticle from the drop, and on to a set of coalescing and moisture/oil filters. The clean air then enters a...

    clean air

    Thanks to everyone. Our lab is essentially for our own testing. Accuracy is foremost. I brought in an air expert from one of the filter companies. Confirmed your concensus, and we will work with the shop air and with very good filters and dryer in series with the lab equipment. Thanks again. Pelts

    clean air

    Our lab has an inductive couple plasma [IPC] Optical Emission System anaylizer. This is new to our lab. It needs an air supply of 28litres/min. @ 100psi. Our plant has 75 hp screw compressor, lots of air. Can we source our air from the plant source and clean it? Or should be install a seperate...

    corrosion, mild steel in retort furnace

    We have a retort oven to extract mercury from phospor powder. The trays in the oven are stainless steel as we found mild steel would corrode in a matter of weeks. I believe that with inheirent moisture in our feed stock combines with the phospor to produce small quanities of phosporic acid...

    mild steel corrosion

    Have made some mild steel oven racks for a retort system oven. Cycles 4hrs at 425 deg. C. Enviornment includes moisture and phospor powder, resulting in producing some phosphoric acid. Do not wish to use stainless, Is there a plating system out there that would likely withstand our conditions?
