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 objects temperature can be determined by the device.

​All about Blowers Series
Although blowers are commonly used in manufacturing, it can be difficult to find good sources of information on the different types of blowers and how to choose the appropriate one. The purpose of this article series is to give a good, basic understanding of the different types of blowers and provide you with the technical information required to make a good decision for your application.

Closed-Loop Vs Open-Loop Control Systems Part 1 of 3: Automating the System
In a previous article we provided a general overview of control for process heat systems and explained the difference between closed- and open-loop controls. In this article series we will expand on this topic, exploring when it is advantageous to use a closed-loop system and when it is acceptable to use an open-loop system. This first installment will look at the benefits of automating your system with closed-loop control and the process issues that this can help resolve.

Heat Shrink Tunnels Explained – Part One of Three
​A heat/shrink tunnel, is an enclosed and heated area that is used to not just apply heat to an object, but create a heated local environment around said object. Heat tunnels are generally found above or enveloping a section of conveyor belt to allow for automated travel through the tunnel. The most common use for a heat tunnel is the activation of heat shrink labels, packaging, and tamper bands on a container; however, they are also used to cure paints and heat parts. This article series will cover the most common types of heat tunnels available, their advantages and disadvantages, and the technical complications of heat shrinking.

Compressed Air versus Blower Systems
If your business uses compressed air to clean, dry, or cool, your air system may not be as efficient as you think – in fact, the worst offenders are less than 10% efficient. For many applications, it is advantageous to convert to a blower based air system which leads to long term cost savings.
