What’s the cost?

Actually, a single-worm gearmotor costs
a lot more than just the gears and motor.
You must also add the dollars spent every
year in wasted energy.
A premium efficient motor may yield 2-3%

energy savings, but you still lose 50% or
more through an inefficient worm gear.
Solution: Use a helical-bevel gearmotor

from SEW-EURODRIVE and get 96% gear
efficiency. It makes a lot of cents!

he science and art of lubrication often is as important as the
mechanical functions it enables. If one oil or grease worked
in all applications, in all temperatures and environments, and
on all equipment, this would be a simpler world. The laws of
physics aren’t that simple.
So we turn to researchers and engineers to continue to find new
ways to keep the wheels turning and to limit friction and wear. Their Combine

Camfil APC Helps Safely Collect Hazardous

and Combustible Dusts
Camfil APC designs the industry’s most rugged and high performance dust
collection systems and filter cartridges. They safely collect and contain the
toxic and combustible dusts created by manufacturing processes. Removing
dust from the workplace improves employee health and overall plant safety.
Each system is based on modular units that are customized for each specific
application with the required filtration system and safety features. All dust
collectors and filter cartridges are manufactured at the ISO 9001 certified
facility in Jonesboro, AR.
Combustible Dust Collection

Camfil’s flagship dry dust collector, the Farr Gold Series® , is used in
hundreds of manufacturing plants around the world. Made from 7-10 gauge
steel, FGS collectors stop combustible dust fires and explosions before
they spread. They exceed OSHA mandates for factory air quality, and when
equipped with a Camfil explosion vent, they offer the highest explosion
protection in accordance with NFPA and ATEX standards.
The Handte Vortex wet scrubber is a low maintenance dust-collecting option

for collecting extremely combustible airborne particles.
Industry-Leading Customer Support

Through its Camfil Cares support program, Camfil APC
employees help customers improve the air quality in
their facility. They make site visits to evaluate the dusts,
assess needs and recommend the most cost-effective
equipment to solve problems and comply with OSHA
and NFPA standards.
A Complete Product Line

Camfil APC also offers equipment for collecting airborne
oils and coolants from machining processes. The Handte
Oil Expert and Handte EM Profi collectors efficiently
collect oil and coolant mists before they are inhaled by
machine operators or collect on floors and surfaces. Most Camfil dust, fume and mist collection
systems feature extended filter life, easy filter change-out, energy-efficiency, and a 12-year warranty.
Dust testing, ASHRAE Standard 199 Testing and Training

Camfil APC testing services that help manufacturers select the best dust collector for their application,
with the lowest energy and operating expenses. They can perform dust testing and ANSI/ASHRAE
Standard 199 testing.

Aeroflex USA, Inc. Introduces Aerocel® ULP® Flexible Elastomeric Insulation

Aeroflex USA, Inc. has developed Aerocel® ULP® closed-cell
EPDM insulation, offering the best water vapor and water
resistance in the industry.
Aeroflex USA, Inc. introduces the newest version of Aerocel® EPDM
elastomeric flexible closed-cell foam insulation. This newest
introduction is called Aerocel® ULP ®, that delivers exceptionally low
water and water vapor transport properties. Aerocel® ULP ® is a
vapor retarder, helping ensure that the insulation system remains
sealed against moisture. Offering ease of installation, a high level of energy efficiency, and superior
moisture resistance, Aerocel® ULP ® is the ideal choice for cost-effective installations on all
low-temperature system insulation jobs, especially in high humidity and high temperature climates.
New Aerocel ULP with SSPT is supplied with Cel-Link® II. Cel-Link® II provides a method of completing
projects with the best cost, in harsh conditions, in critical environments where liquid adhesives present
problems, in low VOC applications like LEED® certified projects. Cel-Link II can be installed in temperatures
as low as 0°F, and provides in-place service from -50°F to +257°F. No
other joining method like Cel-Link® II exists for elastomeric insulation.

Study on Industry Standard Motor Repair Practice: Burnout Oven Incineration Winding Stripping
Dreisilker Electric Motors, Inc (DEM) performed a study on the burnout
oven incineration (BO) method where a motor winding gets placed in oven
temperatures ranging from 650 to 900 °F. In the BO method, the insulating
materials turn to ash while catching on fire so that the conductors can be
easily removed for rewinding a motor. Sometimes per standards, a water
misting system puts out fires and causes a steam sauna effect.
DEM conducted a study on the effects of the BO method by stripping a

200 and 100 HP motor windings following industry standards. Physical
dimensions using a coordinate measuring arm and electrical core loss
readings were taken before and after. It was found that the motor
laminations and motor frames changed. Physical changes can affect
rotor/stator air gap, soft foot, bearing alignment, and frame concentricity.
Electrical changes can affect metallurgical characteristics of laminations, core loss, and phase
balance. Any of these changes can result in efficiency loss, power factor decrease, increased
operating costs, and ROI of a motor.
To learn more on the damaging effects of BO and alternative

stripping methods, visit dreisilker.com/demand_better/

Electric forklifts are often
miscategorized as equipment
with fuel that’s only paid for
during the initial purchase. But
in reality, ongoing costs occur
with electric forklifts as with
any other type forklifts. Plant
managers must also consider
that battery life and power out-
put will diminish over time and
lead to future costs that can go
overlooked. These costs include
additional battery purchases,
which can also add thousands
of dollars to the lifetime cost of
the forklift. Don’t forget about

Combustible Dust: Driving Compliance

Through Prevention
Brad Carr | President, SonicAire, Inc.
Combustible dust accumulation in plants continues to be a major concern

throughout multiple industries. The risk of a combustible dust explosion is a real
threat if fugitive dust is allowed to accumulate. Along with the safety risk to
employees, comes the importance of being in compliance with OSHA and NFPA
regulations. What many fail to realize is the significant role that preventative measures
can play in achieving compliance while creating safer work environments.
This paper will outline several key steps that companies can take to help ensure
compliance of combustible dust regulations and discuss ways to prevent fugitive
dust buildup.
