***Flexible Insulated Hose***
WARSAW, IN: This flexible, insulated hose operates over a wide temperature range to keep extreme temperatures inside, whether hot or cold, for a variety of application. Flexaust Flex-Vest(R) Insulated Hose features 1" fiberglass insulation with R-value=4 that is sandwiched between a double-ply silicone coated fiber-glass fabric inside layer, reinforced with a spring steel wire helix, and an outer layer of single-ply neoprene coated polyester fabric hose, also reinforced with a spring steel wire helix. Keeping extreme temperatures inside with minimal loss, this flexible hose operates from -65°F to 550°F. Developed to promote energy savings and process efficiency, Flexaust Flex-Vest(R) Insulated Hose is suited for air handling applications at low positive or negative pressures and conforms to UL-94. It is offered in 1" to 6" I.D. standard sizes and 12 ft. lengths with custom to 8" I.D. and 25 ft. long. This hose is effective for industrial air movement and fume extraction. ---Flexaust Co.
***Heated Spray System Eliminates Viscous Coating Application Problems***
WHEATON, IL: A low pressure spray system designed for applying heated viscous coatings such as chocolate has been released by Spraying Systems Co. The AccuCoat Heated Spray System provides precise temperature control and accurate application of the coating solution on the target with minimal waste. The AccuCoat System uses closed-loop temperature control to ensure liquid temperature is maintained and waste caused by coatings that are too warm or too cool is eliminated. The system controller monitors multiple temperature sensors and makes automatic adjustments as needed to maintain the desired temperature. Liquid lines and spray nozzles are fully jacketed; air lines can be heated as well if needed. Unlike high pressure spray systems where misting and overspray result in waste of the coating material and excessive clean-up, the AccuCoat System applies a precise volume of the liquid to the target with minimal excess. Waste, maintenance downtime and labor costs are reduced. The AccuCoat Heated Spray System is designed to maximize production. The system automatically adjusts for line speed changes and allows multiple batch modes to be preset, eliminating the need for manual intervention between batches. Common uses for the AccuCoat System include spraying chocolate, sugar slurries, oils and other ingredients and barriers on a wide range of products. ---Spraying Systems Co.
