WIRE ROPE HOISTS Konecranes, Inc., a global provider of productivity-enhancing lifting solutions, has introduced the CXT Wire
Rope Hoist, a versatile solution for crane, monorail, and replacement www.metalfinishing.com
NEW proaucts applications, with lifting capacltles up to 80 tons. CXT hoists offer an innovative compact design, exceptional performance, and superior safety, backed by the company's global crane service network. The innovative compact design of the CXT hoist allows for reduced hook approaches and maximizes hook coverage, to lift loads higher and maximize the utilization of the building footprint. CXT hoists and cranes can be used in existing buildings with limited height clearance, and they can be configured to meet a wide variety of demanding applications. CXT hoists come standard with high-performance hoisting motors that offer exceptional power and superior cooling characteristics. Designed to meet demanding operation in high duty-cycle lifting applications, the advanced drive technology of the CXT hoist includes standard two-speed hoist motors and variable-frequency trolley drives for ease of operation while maintaining precise control of vertical and horizontal motions.

plant energy efficiency. The new QRC (quartz reflective coating) reflector does not consist of gold or metal oxide but of opaque quartz glass. Quartz glass is extremely heat-resistant and widely resistant to the attack ofaggressive substances. Thanks to the very highly diffuse reflection capability of the emitter with the white reflector, heating processes can be stabilized and optimized, as process parameters such as temperature and coating homogeneity can be held better.

ELECTRIC INFRARED BOOST OVEN David Weisman, LLC has rolled out its latest Fast Response Electric Infrared Boost Oven System for
customers seeking to quickly boost the temperatures ofliquid or powder coating on small, medium, and large three-dimensional products prior to entrance into a hot air/convection oven. The system features superior, fast-response electric infrared heaters and controls, and modular design for the addition of more heated height and/or an air recirculation system.
The system can be used as a standalone complete cure oven or as a boost system in conjunction with an existing hot air/convection oven. The boost system will provide significant energy savings, allow increased line speeds and product throughput utilizing minimal floor space, dry or cure problem areas on particular parts, and/or reduce or eliminate crosscolor contamination on powder-coated parts.
