NEW proaucts INFRARED SYSTEMS David Weisman, LLC, has introduced its latest Horizontal Conveyorized Infrared Preheat and Curing Systems designed for
departments and job shops, can substantially extend the life of any piece of equipment-whether a roundbowl, a thru-feed, or an end-discharge unit-at a cost that can be hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars less than the purchase price of a new model. ALMCO can provide a simple machine cleaning and tune-up, or repair or replacement of a tub lining, bearing, or complete drive. The company also can add labor-saving features to old equipment, available only on newer, more costly machines. For more information, call (800) 5212740 or visit www.almcoinc.com.
by Baker Perkins' factory-trained engineers. However, subsequent liner replacements can be undertaken by the customer's own engineers in a fraction of the time, saving both cost and plant downtime. Additional cost savings are achieved either by replacing only worn sections of the liner, or by upgrading the liner insert material in high wear areas of the barrel to extend its life.

customers to preheat or cure liquid and powder coatings on a wide range of horizontally processed products. The system features fast-response, electric infrared, or gas catalytic infrared heaters and controls and a complete energy-efficient insulated oven enclosure. Also included are options for side and bottom heat, and room for integral supply or recirculated air plenums. The system can be used as a stand-alone complete horizontal conveyorized drying or cure oven system or in conjunction with coating application equipment and incoming and outgoing conveyors.

REBUILD/REFURBISH PROGRAM
Any vibratory finishing machine manufactured by ALMCO-whatever its age, whatever the type-can be made like new under a new "rebuild/refurbish" program recently introduced by the company. The service, which addresses current cost-saving needs of finishing 54 I metalfinishing I December 2009
New technology has cut the cost of Baker Perkins MP extruder barrel liner replacement by up to 50%.These extruders are typically used in the powder coating and plastics indus-
tries. By making liner replacements easier to fit, as well as enabling only the worn sections to be replaced, the cost, complexity, and downtime needed to replace barrel liners have all been significantly reduced. The savings are achieved by replacing the original one-piece liner with a backing block and a liner comprising a number of individual inserts. Like previous liner replacements, this is a highprecision operation requiring specialist equipment and is best carried out
microns and above. The brochure highlights Whirl Wet low-maintenance and operating expense advantages, and discusses new "green" technology that lowers waste volume and recycles the small amount of water the systems uses. The brochure includes application profiles from Kraft, Barnes Aerospace, Florida Tile, Musashi Auto Parts, and others, and describes how the technology is used to collect particulate generated by their processes.
