Thermocouples in Hot Air Systems
Thermocouples are widely used to measure temperature in industrial processes. In this article we will explain how a thermocouple works, when you should use one, and some best practices for use.

Best Practices in Air Heater Installation
​When installed and operated properly, an air heater should have a long service life. However there are many common pitfalls that can cause problems and shorten the expected lifespan. This article discusses our recommended best practices for installing air heaters to avoid the most common errors that shorten tool life. ​

Regenerative versus Centrifugal Blowers Explained
Both regenerative and centrifugal blowers are widely used in industrial processes. Superficially the two types of blowers can seem similar and it can be difficult to find good information on the differences between the two types of blowers and why one would be selected over the other.

​Temperature Control of Air Heaters
In an air heater, air is blown over a resistance coil which is heated by a voltage applied across it. The temperature control of the air at the outlet of an air heater depends on the level of sophistication of the heater and any control systems with which it is integrated. Before discussing air heater control, first we will take a very high level look at system control.

​Deflashing Plastic Parts with Hot Air
​Injection moulding is one of the most common industrial methods for high volume production of plastic parts. Plastic is heated until it reaches a thermoplastic state and is then injected into a mould. During this process a seam can develop on the part where different segments of the mould meet, known as the parting line. This seam of excess plastic is called flash. Flash must be removed from the part when it occurs in an area where surface finish is important or where it will cause an interference.
