Solvent based inks in different colors and patterns are applied to paper, plastic, film and foil substrates. Finished products include all sorts of wrapping paper, wall covering, candy wrappers, flexible food packages, shrink labels, high quality magazines and many, many more. These industries employ ovens or dryers to remove the solvents from the finished product.
Rotogravure printing is a competitive marketplace. According to the GAA, “gravure has strengthened its position of dominance in both the publishing & packaging segments”. They are a part of an evolving industry, trying to keep up with consumer, geographical & environmental trends, which often comes down to whoever can print the fastest, at the lowest cost, wins. But how can you safely expand your plant to keep up with these demands? Automating Damper Control.
Being safe. Check. Saving Energy. Check. Lowering Fuels Costs? Let's discuss how this too can be checked off our list of achievements that come from adding an LFL Analyzer to your oxidizer.
Increase energy efficiencies and optimize productivity, ALL while reducing emissions? Sounds like some lofty goals. They can however be realized when the appropriate analyzer is installed on your oxidizer.
The EPA Pollution Prevention (P2) Program wants you to “reduce or eliminate waste at the source by modifying production processes”, this can be achieved when you install a continuous Total Hydrocarbon (THC) monitor on your catalytic oxidizer.
Control Instruments Corporation has become a member of the Gravure Association of America (GAA).
Let's break down our discussion from last week, specifically, how we can Be Safe while operating an oxidizer.
Thermal oxidizers are used to destroy the VOC's present in many industrial ventilation, process exhaust and waste air streams. As their use increases, so does a unique opportunity to be safe, save energy and lower fuel costs.
Last week we discussed installing an area monitoring sensor system to monitor for Hydrogen, let’s look at what exactly they can offer:
We've talked about why it's important to use Hydrogen in conjunction with your LFL Analyzer and how Hydrogen has been used commercially for many years with great results, but your still unsure about its use in your plant.&nbs
Many companies are concerned about the use of Hydrogen in their plant to operate LFL Analyzers. But did you know that Hydrogen has been used commercially for many years? Commercially, it is found that the safety record for hydrogen is excellent; there is no evidence to suggest that hydrogen is any more dangerous than other fuels of similar energy content.
Some of the current uses include:
