Less Junk Mail

Sunday, June 26th, 2011

Does your mailbox overflow?

Oh, not your email inbox, your physical mailbox.

Some days, all there is in there is junk mail!

You know there’s a way to help stop all that unwanted mail!

Just head over to the non-profit Catalog Choice where you can join over a million others who have also signed up to ‘opt out’ for free. You first create an account (it’s free) then search for the catalog/phone book, coupons and other unsolicited mail senders, fill out the form and they’ll work for you to get your name removed.

Less junk in your mailbox, means more trees saved.

Saving Energy in Industrial Applications

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Ever wonder what industrial plants use to keep the heat down? The equipment inside manufacturing plants, whether they make bread, basketballs, or rubber gloves all create heat.

High heat is hard to work around and is hard on the life of the industrial equipment.

The answer is high temperature insulation. High Temperature Insulation is a ceramic material manufactured from alumina silicate glass and is used for thermal insulation in temperatures of up to 1,300 °C.

High-temperature Mineral Wool Insulation allows industrial machinery to have lighter weight construction via smaller wall thickness and thinner linings thereby increasing their efficiencies.

Aluminum silicate based ‘ceramic fiber’ products have been around for a few decades and are invaluable in high heat situations. Products made from ‘ceramic fiber’ or those incorporating the ceramic product have high temperature resistance and are the standard for high temperature installations.

You’ll find this energy saving Thermal Insulation material in many places. It’s used in boiler and water heating linings, insulation of pipes, flues and ducts. It’s being used in kilns and furnaces, burner assemblies as well as anywhere heat shielding is desired. Another common use is in fire and welding blankets where the material is used to slow heat flow and block fire.

High temperature insulation, with it’s low thermal conductivity and heat storage make industrial applications safer, more affordable and reduce energy consumption.
