New Equipment, Processes, and Materials POWDER GUNS IONTECH Corp. www.ion-tech.com PulsePower, the latest develop- ment from Parker Ionics, was recently issued a U.S. Patent. According to IONTECH Corp., PulsePower provides a significant improvement in powder gun per- formance, including a host of ben- efits such as extreme Faraday Cage penetration. PulsePower cycles gun voltage on and off in nanoseconds. This causes the Faraday cage to momentarily col- lapse, allowing powder to deposit in the hard-to-coat areas. In addi- tion, PulsePower makes possible significantly thinner films, smoother finishes, higher transfer efficiency, and easy recoats. Circle 401 on reader service card CYCLONIC FILTRA'nON SYSTEM Almco Inc. www.almcoinc.com Almco Inc.'s portable cyclonic ill- tration system is available for use at any metalworking machine location to achieve extensive sav- ings on coolant costs and to avoid hazardous environmental con- tamination. The compact Model AC1-70DE, measuring 2 ft. x 46 in., has a unique pumping system that removes contaminants from dirty water-based or synthetic coolants without machine shut- down. It removes particles down to three microns, as well as tramp oils that produce bacteria and rancidity. When the coolant is clean, the unit returns it to the machine tool for reuse. The entire process results in extended coolant life, improved surface fin- ishes, as well as reduced mainte- nance and disposal costs.

The dry arrestor filters trap the airborne overspray particles before the filtered air is dis- charged through the exhaust sys- tern and into the atmosphere. The chambers are available in a wide range of designs to meet practi- cally any production requirement. Air replacement units and intake chambers can be added as well as reduced airflows for automatic spray operations. Circle 403 on reader service card OIL-MIST AIR CLEANER Micro Air www. microaironline.com The new, high-capacity Model OM6000DD air cleaner from Micro Air is designed specifically to capture airborne oil-mist through a combination of baffle- type oil impingers and special oil- mist bag filters. The captured oil then drains to the bottom of the unit and out of the oil drain. The unit, originally developed to help plants meet OSHA indoor air quality requirements, features a new high-capacity direct drive fan, multiple pickups, and heavy-duty components and construction to meet industrial needs. Capacity up to 6,000 cfm is available depend- ing on the diameter of the three inlet plenums. Options include multiple sizes of inlet plenums, HEPA filter, overload protector, silencer, and floor-mount stand.
