Increasing energy prices and increasing competitive pressure necessitate solutions for cost reduction in powder coating. Eisenmann presents measures for this to greatly increase plant energy efficiency and thus appreciably cut operating costs.
Powder coating is an aluminum processing method that doesn’t produce much waste materials, which means it is healthy for the environment. Also, this process doesn’t cause any pollution in the air, as the resulting VOCs (Volatile Organic Compound and Smog) stay in the powder coating booth eq...
According to HP executives, much of the cost of print cartridges has to do with research and development costs. Around 2010, they reportedly spent roughly a billion dollars annually on ink R&D, and it takes several years to develop a new ink. The ink has to be chemically formulated to rema...
B. Electronic coating gages with a special powder probe. C. Non-contact ultrasonic instruments. Procedure A uses gauges such as the inexpensive DeFelsko Powder Comb which works much the same way as a wet film thickness gage. The comb is dragged through the uncured powder and powder height is...
Traditional glass lenses don’t start out thin and light; they’re cut from a much larger block of material called a blank, about 80% of which goes to waste. When we consider how many people wear glasses and how often they need to get a new pair, 80% of those numbers is a lot ...
“People want time, and it’s even more so now than it was 15 years ago. In my experience, people used to want more overtime. They didn’t want as much free time,” Abfall said. “But it’s really changed. It’s evolved.” ...
But in the last decade or so, these LED replacement bulbs, the kind you just screw into a lamp like you do an incandescent bulb, have become much more common — which is to say a large number of businesses and households are using them. A 2017 survey showed that 70 percent of ...
Each layer is usually about 0.1 mm thick, though it can be much thinner or thicker [source: Wohlers]. Depending on the object's size, the machine and the materials used, this process could take hours or even days to complete. Be sure to check on the machine periodically to make sure ...
The conditions and temperatures you ski in as well as how warm or cold your hands run will determine how much insulation you require, and you may want to consider more than one pair if you ski in varying temperatures. Also, just because a pair of ski gloves is thicker does not ...
