***Check Vibration Like an
Expert***
|
PLAIN CITY, OH: Model 240 V-Alert Vibration Meter takes the
guesswork out of deciding whether fan vibration is acceptable or
excessive before making an expensive call for service. Even an operator
with limited vibration experience can use the V-Alert because a green
LED will illuminate when vibration levels are acceptable or a red LED
will alert the operator to higher than acceptable vibration levels. The
V-Alert uses an industry standard 0.2 ips RMS limit for acceptable
vibration. The V-Alert provides large, digital readings for easy
recording, and it automatically holds a displayed reading for up to 30
seconds. The V-Alert is battery-operated with an automatic shut-off to
maximize battery life. ---Balmac, Inc.

***Fume Extraction Duct Control
System***
|
GREENSBORO, NC: AutoAire™ cut-off gate is a double win in
energy and equipment-cost savings for any shop with a central collection
system for dust, fumes or mists serving intermittently operated
machines. The AutoAire gate automatically opens needed duct branches
when a machine is turned on, while closing off inactive branches and
machines. This fully utilizes the pick-up power of a collection system
by applying as much vacuum as possible, only when and where needed,
allowing a smaller fan - with smaller energy bill - to handle a system
with many branches. AutoAir gates are easily installed in the
air-handling ductwork. Wiring is simple: a single wire connected to a
machine, such as a saw, can control one or more gates as it is turned
on/off. No special control is needed. In large collection systems
using a VFD fan (variable frequency drive), the gates can be used to
minimize fan speed - and power requirement - in proportion to the number
of open gates in the duct system. ---K&B Duct
