***Revolutionary Contour Welt Work
Boot***
ROCKFORD, MI: The Wolverine Contour Welt combines unparalleled
flexibility, comfort, and support with a never-before-seen design that
is both eye-catching and functional. Designed to deliver flexibility in
the forefoot and support in the instep areas, it offers the flexibility
of a sport shoe with the support of a traditional work boot. The boot's
supple, full-grain leather molds to the foot while the contour-stitched
arch allows the boot to bend and flex at essential points, preventing
shifting during motion. A comfort gel insole cushions each step, helping
to increase stability and balance. The boot's new design incorporates a
MultiShox™ Rubber Lug outsole that allows individual compression
pads in the heel and forefoot to absorb shock and return energy in each
step, providing all-day comfort. ---Wolverine Boots & Shoes

Overload Protection (OLP) Devices
Automated manufacturing can raise profit levels through the roof with
increased efficiency, productivity, and performance. As equipment
becomes more integrated, an intermittent shock in the production system
can quickly escalate into total systems shutdown. Unexpected downtime
means lost profits. Keep production running with Overload Protection
(OLP) Devices from U.S. Tsubaki. If power, torque, or load
exceeds a preset level within the system, these accurate, adjustable
devices shut down the line -- fast, safe, and secure. www.ustsubaki.com
Watt-Flex® Cartridge Heaters
With their unique split-sheath design, Watt-Flex® cartridge heaters
expand when energized for maximized bore contact and heat transfer,
contract when de-energized for warranted removability. Continuous coil
construction ensures a uniform temperature profile; permits a hot-tip
option; and eliminates cold sections, warping, and bore seizures. They
last up to five times longer than conventional heaters and are available
in diameters from 1/4" to 1" and several mounting configurations. A
replaceable external thermocouple option is also available. For more
information call 978-356-9844, e-mail dalton@daltonelectric.com or visit www.daltonelectric.com. Dalton Electric Heating
Co., Inc.
Mix in Seconds, Not Minutes!
The Bella mixer by Dynamic Air achieves fast, high-capacity, low
shear, precision mixing of either dry bulk solids or liquids with
solids. Regardless of particle size, shape or density, materials are
mixed with a fast, efficient, and gentle action - typical mixing times
are 60 seconds or less. A weightless zone created by low-speed counter
rotating shafts generates very low friction without shear. Available in
stainless steel for sanitary applications. Visit www.dynamicair.com or email us at info@dynamicair.com.

***Raw Material and Energy Costs are
Biggest Threats to Private Manufacturing Businesses***
Research from Grant Thornton International shows that the increasing
costs of raw materials and energy are having major impacts on cost
pressures for privately held manufacturers. Globally, 61% of surveyed
businesses reported being most concerned about raw materials costs and
45 % reported energy costs. Turkish manufacturing businesses are the
most concerned about energy costs in the next 12 months with 82% of
respondents expecting these to have a major impact on cost pressures.
Despite being a major oil producing country, 61% of manufacturers in
Mexico cite energy costs as a concern. Australia and Brazil, also energy
producing countries, are least concerned about energy costs, with 20%
and 23% expecting them to have a major impact. Alex MacBeath, global
head of Privately Held Business services says: "The management of energy
consumption is key to tackling global warming - reduction in costs is
the result. When we asked manufacturers what they were doing, almost two
thirds reported taking measures to reduce their energy consumption. They
reported installing energy saving lighting, motion detectors, insulation
and measures to ensure that IT equipment is turned off while not in use
to cut down on usage and costs. Over half of responding manufacturing
businesses are investing in energy saving plant and machinery."
