Infratrol Manufacturing is rolling out the new EcoFlex line of energyefficient, low-emission, modular mini-powder coating paint systems. EcoFlex powder systems are designed for use with small parts and with lean manufacturing in mind. The electrically heated EcoFlex line has very low energy consumption, resulting in huge savings over standard directfired gas systems. A complete system is operational at the company's facility in New Berlin, Wis., to demonstrate its powder coating capabilities.
OVERSPRAY COLLECTION MEDIA CARC (Chemical Agent Resistive Coating) overspray collection media is now available from Columbus Industries. The combination baffle/strainer-type construction consists of layers of slit and expanded kraft with a final layer of synthetic polyester backing to maximize efficiency and strength. Layers are arranged in a graduated-density pattern to redirect and cause the particulate-laden airflow to become turbulent, resulting in maximum contact between the overspray and the baffles within the collectors. This collector design is ideal for extending filter service life. For more information, call (740) 983-2552 or visit the company's website: www.colind.com. Circle 408 on reader service card
