This article by TEA explains the different ways efficiency is measured and defines the best way to determine true Boiler Efficiency. COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY Combustion Efficiency is an […]

Precise Pigment Dosing at Paper Mill

This abrasive pigment that controls the shade of the paper stock is added at the preparation stage. “We dose very low, precise volumes as the shade is critical” explains Engineering Manager Tony Halhead. “However, the abrasive nature of the pigment was causing the stators and rotors in our Progressive Cavity (PC) pump to wear, leading to a drop in performance.”

EXTREME-VS PTFE Coated Valve Stems

Buna, EPDM, and FKM valve stems are good for some applications, but for the most challenging applications, they just don’t cut it. They need to constantly be monitored and replaced.

The new Extreme-VS stems solve this problem with solid PTFE sealing surfaces. This is not PTFE bonded to another elastomer. They are stainless steel with PTFE, and that’s it.

In all applications, they are outlasting the standard stems, in some cases by 3-4 times the life span.
