​Customer Highlight: Remelting Lipstick

A manufacturer of high-end skincare and makeup was having a problem on their lipstick production line. Liquid lipstick poured into a mold quickly began to harden causing the top to take on an undesired concave shape. Their previous solution involved using a series of heat lamps to remelt the top of the lipsticks however, they were not doing an adequate job. After some in-house testing, STANMECH was able to provide a process heat system with custom nozzle that worked with their existing production line and control system.

Designing your System for Uniform Heat & Airflow 
​A common misconception we encounter while working with customers to develop process heat systems is that the airflow transitioning from a small space to a larger one will expand to fill any volume. While this is true (to a point) for compressed air, which undergoes a rapid volume expansion as it transitions from a high pressure environment (80-100PSI) to an atmospheric environment, it is not true for blower-based systems where this pressure change does not exist.

Temperature versus Heat – What’s the Difference and Why is it Important?
By far the most common mistake we see is confusion between the concepts of temperature and heat. The terms are often used in conversation as if they are the same thing. This can have big implications when choosing a heater or designing a hot air system.

Steps to Designing a Hot Air System Article Series 
On the surface, designing an effective hot air system can seem like a simple exercise. However there is an underlying complexity which, when ignored, can result in wasted time and money. In this article we are discussing the first step in designing a hot air system (or any system) – carefully defining the problem. It is tempting to skip right to a solution or jump into analysis without defining the problem you are trying to solve. Properly defining your problem will help to get to the appropriate solution and helps you work with third parties, such as equipment suppliers, more effectively.

Sizing your Heater and Blower: The Relationship between Air Flow and Temperature

Hot air systems, at their most basic, combine two components—a stream of air supplied by a blower/compressor and heat generated from a heating element—to produce hot air. Sometimes these two components are supplied by a single tool, other times they are supplied by two separate tools. The goal is to increase the temperature of the stream of air and to use this air for a task. Understanding how air flow and temperature relate to each other is helpful when choosing air and heat sources for your system to ensure your system will be able to do the work required.​

​Why you Can’t Measure Air Temperature with a Laser IR Gun and a Simple, Effective Alternative 
While Laser IR Thermometers are an extremely common tool, they are entirely ineffective for measuring the outlet temperature of an air heater. To understand why, we must first understand how this tool works. Laser IR Thermometers measure the surface temperature of an object by measuring the thermal energy emitted by the target. Knowing the amount of thermal energy discharged and the emissivity of an object’s surface, the object's temperature can be determined by the device.

​What we do at STANMECH

At STANMECH we are committed to building the right solution for your unique application. We've built solutions for countless problems over our more than 40 years in business. Our unique technical know-how in heat and air behaviour is our greatest asset. We use experiments, thermal calculations, and computational modelling to design a solution that we know will work. Let us build the solution to your problem. We are your application problem solvers.​

​How we do it

We start by talking with you to define the problem at hand. Then, we physically simulate your process or use thermal and fluid calculations to better understand how your products will react to heat and moving air. For more complex problems, we utilize computational modelling to help us test design concepts. We select equipment and create custom systems based on the needs of your individual problem.
