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.

Common Shrink Label Problems and Solutions
The hallmarks of a bad shrinking job are easy to spot: wrinkling, rising, dimpling, tearing and uneven shrinking. These problems drive packagers nuts and can put off potential customers. Read on to discover possible causes and solutions to the most common problems facing packagers working with shrink labels.

Using a Variable Frequency Drive to Improve your System Performance
Variable Frequency Drives (often known by their initials: VFDs) convert a fixed-frequency supply voltage (60 Hz in North America) to a continuously variable frequency. By controlling the frequency of the voltage supplied to an AC motor, we can control its rotational speed and minimize stress. A VFD can control two main elements of a 3-phase induction motor: its speed and torque.

How to Read and Interpret a Blower/Fan Curve
Choosing the correct blower is a fundamental step in designing a functional and efficient system. We’ve covered the basics of Regenerative versus Centrifugal Blowers and Understanding Blowers as part of System, in this article we’ll show how to read a blower curve and use that information to specify the best blower for your project.
