Sizing and Choosing Industrial Water Strainers

 

Strainers are widely used to remove contaminants and foreign particles from water or other liquids, get rid of the debris that can potentially damage downstream equipment and thus help improves manufacturing efficiency. Given the various types of and materials used for industrial water strainers, it is critical to choose the right one for your application. Here are the four factors that you must consider in sizing and selecting a strainer for you.

Particle characteristics

First and foremost, you have to understand the type and size of the particles to be filtered. This will enable you to choose the correct micron size for the strainer. For instance, when you are filtering surface water most likely it contains large organic debris such as leaves or algae. But this is different when you are straining well water that has inorganic matter such as sand. In this case, you will need a smaller screen to separate the sand and other particles which can pass through larger mesh of industrial water strainers.

Operating flow

Knowing the maximum flow rate will help you decide on the size of strainer you need. A 100 gpm can be typically accommodated by a 2 inches filter, but not a 150 gpm. You will require one size larger for this flow rate. In cases where backwashing or automatic, self-cleaning strainers are used, the minimum flow rate will also be considered.

Pressure drop

It refers to the decrease in liquid pressure across a pipeline component such strainers. There are several factors that affect pressure drop including the filter or strainer media, flow rate, contaminants or debris present, and the viscosity. When the strainer becomes full, the pressure drop increases because the filtered particles reduces the strainer’s surface area. Once a pressure drop is too high, the desired flow will be compromised and industrial water strainers will get clogged. Thus, it is important to know the right amount of pressure drop to begin with to prevent any issues during the process.

Operating costs

When selecting between an automatic and manual strainer system or just the strainer itself, you have to also consider some criteria related to costs. These include the costs for labor, downtime for strainer replacement, maintenance labor for cleaning a strainer, and waste disposal. Typically, automatic strainers require higher initial investment than manual industrial water strainers.

No matter how unique are your requirements, experts here at Islip Flow Controls can help you get the best solution for your application. Being the industry leading manufacturer of industrial water strainers and for other process media, our expertise can provide you the most suitable strainer for your business.

The Growing Expenditures of Canadians in Home Renovation Industry and Custom Builders in Toronto

 

Over the past decade, the fastest growing component of residential investment in Canada is renovation expenditure. It outpaced the growth in home resale and new construction spending. The top renovation projects undertaken include new installations, additions, alterations, and replacement of appliances. The increasing growth in these renovation activities reflects the resilience of the wider housing market. This is further supported by low interest rates and steady home sales. Housing prices post just moderate advances in most cities as witnessed by many custom builders in Toronto and other regions. Increases is only in a few units and areas.

According to Statistics Canada, the average yearly growth in real renovation spending is at 2.5% from 2008-2014. About a third of the rise in the spending is accounted for by the expanding housing stock, while the majority is due to higher average real renovation expenditures per household. Custom builders in Toronto have been benefiting also from the rising levels of home sales. The housing market conditions became highly favourable to sellers, making the option to renovate very much attractive for most move-up buyers. The demand for more renovation projects is expected to be quick in the areas of Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.

Major market conditions will still pose some challenges to the industry with only moderate growth in revenue and the pressure on input costs. But industrial price inflation for materials and equipment associated with renovations stays very low. These include heating and cooling units, appliances, furniture, cabinets, carpets, among others. Unfortunately, custom builders in Toronto and the rest of the regions will be challenged by increasing pressure on margins with a rising import bill that weakens Canadian dollar. Despite this, RDA Homes is always ready to take on any challenge and issue to provide our clients with a satisfying and rewarding experience in every stage of the building process. We are a home of highly qualified and experienced custom builders in Toronto and the GTA with the ultimate goal of delivering beautiful new homes and renovations that will exceed your expectations.

 

Roller Conveyors: How Each Type Is Driven

 

Given the various types of conveyor systems for material handling solutions, it is important that you choose the right one for your specific application. One particular type worthy to consider is the roller conveyor. It is the top choice when you need to push off, sideload, accumulate an item, or adjust the pressure of the carrying rollers. Roller conveyors also add flexibility to product transfers, stops and diverters to be used in the handling system. Materials for rollers vary including plastic, galvanized, mild or stainless steel.

Common and most useful applications of roller conveyors include packaging, manufacturing, food and beverage processing, order fulfillment, machine building, and printing. They are available in different types and the most widely used ones are the following.

Gravity roller conveyors   

They are the most basic type that work by allowing materials to slide down the line on rollers. As the name suggests, these conveyors are powered by the force of gravity through manual pushing of products or setting up at a decline. They are a low cost option since they can work without consuming power or any motorization.

Chain driven roller conveyors

Unlike gravity conveyor, chain driven conveyors are run by a motorized tangential chain. It’s the internal bearing and fixed axles that enabled the driven chain to be integrated into side frames and rollers. Direct and slip drives are then accommodated for accumulation of items.

Powered roller conveyors

This type of roller conveyors are powered to move the products along the conveyor line. Typically, only some of the rollers are powered by an internal motor (one in nine rollers) and linked to the non-powered ones through a series of O-rings.

Norpak is the industry’s leader in supplying these three common roller conveyors and other high quality conveyor systems. Our selection of conveyors and their components provides durability, flexibility and efficiency. Our product range for roller conveyors offers diversity to suit your specific application or production needs.

 

 

 

 

The Role of A Food Trolley in Satisfying Hospital Patients

 

A caterer’s dream is not just to speed up food service but also to achieve ease of handling and improve food quality. A food trolley plays a vital role to reaching this dream. Apart from improving the quality of food, it can also keep hot food stay hot and cold food stay cold despite the fact that they are loaded onto the same trays and trolley. This situation is very important in the hospitals where staff can simply take the tray from the food trolley to the patient. There is no need to add anything, making the food service quick and easier.

When all the food is being cooked in the hospital’s kitchen, patients can choose their lunch in the morning so that it can be cooked already, plated, and then served. Quality fresh food is usually the order of the day. And since food is fresh-cooked on site, chefs can offer something different for patients who do not want anything from the usual menu of vegetable pasta bake, cauliflower soup, or chicken curry. This is particularly in the case of patients who have just had an operation who prefer simple food like a toast with beans on top. A food trolley equipped with the advanced technology and fully insulated compartments and doors will ensure optimum temperature control and reduce energy consumption.

A food trolley can also have a powerful feature to regen chilled food when needed. But with a cook and serve system, the trolley can be left plugged in once the trays are loaded with food. It will then maintain the food quality until it is time to take the trolley to the ward for service. Without the need to separate hot and cold dishes, this innovation in the food trolley industry enable nursing staff to serve their patients with a variety of dishes. It keep the food in top quality without drying out. More beneficial for patients is that the hot food feels like it just comes out of the oven and the cold food from the refrigerator. The added benefit of serving both meals on one tray is a much easier handling. Ease of use or operation and lightweight are the other advantages for the users. But what more important is the satisfaction it brings to the patients who of all people need proper nourishment and food intake.

Hitek Milan is proud to offer you with high quality food trolley solutions. They are made from stainless steel frames for durable and long-lasting use for your catering and food service business. Give us a call to learn more about our range of food trolley selection.

 

Designing End Connections for Y type strainer

 

It has been proven that strainers are very useful in protecting downstream equipment in a pipeline such as pumps, valves, steam traps, turbines, meters, and other elements, from the detrimental effects of foreign particles and unwanted debris. In particular, vertical piping that’s found at pump inlets requires the use of a Y type strainer. Two things that must be given special attention to in a strainer are the orientation of the debris collection chamber and the blowdown connection. The device must be installed in a way that it’s placed at the lowest position possible. As such, a Y type strainer must be installed with its screen facing downward to effectively trap the debris in the collection chamber.

Another important factor to determine in designing a Y type strainer is the kind of end connections that’s most suitable. There are three common types to choose from as discussed in details below.

• Threaded – this type is typically a tapered female pipe thread. There are male end connections available as well.
• Flanged – the industry standard flange rating Classes range from Class 25 through to Class 2500. Other options such as ring type joints and tongue groove joints are also available.
• Weld ends – the standard 37.5° beveled end is commonly used, but butt weld ends come in all sizes with various forms of end preparations. In purchasing Y type strainer with this end, it’s crucial to specify the accurate bore of the pipe for the manufacturer to provide a matching bore in the strainer.

Most types of small strainers, particularly the Y type strainer, are engineered according to fitting standards to match full pressure ratings and subjected to lower temperatures and higher pressures. Thus, at the initial design it is very important to determine working pressure and temperature, flange rating, corrosion allowance, and any operating conditions that can affect vessel loading.

The Chemistry Behind Colour Dyes

 

Unlike most organic compounds, dyes have colours because they have the ability to absorb light in the visible spectrum, possess at least one chromophore or the colour-bearing group, with a conjugated system or a structure with alternating single and double bonds, and shows resonance of electrons. These four features must be all present in the molecular structure, otherwise the colour is lost. Apart from the colour-bearing group, most colour dyes also contain the colour helpers group, or auxochromes. They don’t have direct relation with the colour itself but they can change the colour of a colourant. They are mostly used to influence dye solubility.

When it comes to solubility, there are two kinds or organic colourants: dyes and pigments. The main difference is that colour dyes are soluble in water or organic solvent while pigments are not in both media. Dyes are used to colour substrates while pigments are useful to colour polymeric substrate in a different mechanism. Pigments provides surface-only colouration unless they are mixed with the polymer before moulded article formation. The largest family of organic colour dyes include: the acid dyes for protein substrates such as wool, silk and nylon; disperse dyes for hydrophobic substrates such as acetate and polyester; and direct and reactive dyes for cellulosic substrates such as paper, linen, cotton and rayon.

The affinity between the dye and substrate is often affected by the effectiveness of a dyeing or printing process. It is therefore important that colour dyes are designed with a certain substrate in mind. They must have greater affinity for such substrate than the medium and a high level of permanence under end-use conditions. Apart from dye-substrate affinity, another crucial consideration in dye design is the safety of the products, both to the end-user and the environment. As such, synthetic dyes can’t be commercialized unless they pose insignificant risks. Raw materials used in manufacturing synthetic dyes must not contain compounds known to cause health risks such as the aromatic amines, which are either cancer agents or mutagens.

A.S. Paterson Company provides a wide range of colour dyes soluble in water, alcohol and other solvents. Some of them can be dissolved in melted plastic giving a transparent colour effect.

Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that has been around for a very long time. There are still a lot of areas in research that has been ongoing for the practitioners or even student to study. Traditionally electrical engineering has to do with power electronics, power system, and high-voltage engineering.

In today’s context, there is already a trend going in solar energy. There is also a local generation of power happening which makes each consumer a producer of electricity also. Going from the power grid, which is a very traditionally engineering, now you have inputs to take from those traditional areas where experts are using nowadays.

In electrical engineering, there are some major disciplines that you should classify.

1. Communications-related area

This has something to do with wireless communications, software, hardware a lot of mathematics. For example, if you are trying to send a signal from the transmitter to the receiver the data rates are going up so you have to do an adaptive control. There’s a lot of highly efficient mathematics that is going in.

2. Power systems and power electronics

It is important to ensure the quality of power systems. In renewable power or solar energy approach, integration of power is critical.
