Subject field(s)
  • Metal Forming
  • Packaging in Metal
CONT

There are three main types of necking technology... The first is die-necking, where the diameter of the can body can be reduced at one end or at both ends simultaneously. A necking ring-a kind of drawing ring whose ring diameter equals the outer diameter of the unnecked body on one side, and the desired necked diameter on the other side-is pushed axially onto the body. The neck geometry is thus shaped to the profile formed by the two ring diameters. An inner core prevents wrinkling and calibrates the exact neck diameter.

Subject field(s)
  • Freezing and Refrigerating
  • Food Industries
CONT

While the simple blast cell is the most prolific technology today for freezing bulk materials, processors are investigating other forms of inexpensive freezing that can drop temperature quickly and flexibly. Plate freezing and continuous belt freezing are two examples. In plate freezing, the product is generally placed in a leak-proof bag, although in some cases direct contact is used, and then compressed between two plates that are held at-40°F. Freezing times of just a few hours are possible, depending on the thickness of the product. Continuous freezing belt systems are similar to a blast cell in terms of air flow and temperature, with the primary difference being that instead of staging palletized product, boxed product moves on a slow conveyor belt within an enclosure. This allows differently shaped and sized boxes to be loaded simultaneously and usually requires a 24-hour dwell time to reach zero. It is a bit slower than plate freezing, but with more product flexibility.

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
CONT

The National Program for the Power Industry wants to focus ... on refurbishing thermal power plants with fluid bed boilers, double-arch furnaces and other innovative combustion technologies for utilizing Ukrainian low-grade coal.

CONT

The Double Arch Downfired, or W Flame Furnace... is the proven way to efficiently self-combust anthracites in Central Station steam generators.... FW Ball Mills receive coal on each end, from bins and feeders located overhead... Primary air coming from air heaters enters each mill end and dries the coal. Once the coal is ground and classified, the air pneumatically transports it towards the arch cyclone burners... A "W" shaped flame forms in the lower furnace(volume below the arches). Gases then continue their upward move through the conventional upper furnace. In the FW arch fired technology, only a fraction of the air enters the furnace through the arch; the bulk of the air is fed to the furnace through slots in the vertical walls located directly below the arches.

Key term(s)
  • double arch furnace
  • double arch boiler

A new plastics overmolding process that can fully encapsulate delicate printed circuit boards, lead frames, sensors, magnets, and other sensitive electronic components using high temperature-resistant resins is being introduced by Matrix, incorporated ...

CONT

Mercury Plastics has been working to develop an overmolding technology that allows us to connect three tubes into a "Y" shaped fluid path. The overmolding technology involved requires that we overmold without the normal steel core required in standard injection molding.... The concept of "coreless" overmolding is applicable when it is impractical to overmold with the standard metal core.
