Thirstier Sorbents

Brady Sorbents says it has created an environmentally friendly sorbent that offers up to 50% more absorbency than traditional polypropylene sorbents. Made from natural cellulose (cotton), Re-Form Oil-Only Sorbents help end-users sustain green initiatives while providing high absorbency levels. These products are made from 80 percent cotton fibers using a specialized process that transforms raw linters into sorbent-friendly material. The manufacturer notes that the product's improved absorption capabilities enable companies to use fewer sorbents per clean up, leading to reduced waste streams, lower costs and other process improvements.

Heavy-Duty, Powered Grease Guns

Lincoln has added two PowerLubers to its family of grease guns. The 18-volt model features a high-output motor and battery technologies that unite for a lengthy run time. Built for high-pressure applications, it has a two-speed transmission with a high-volume grease-flow option. The 120-volt corded PowerLuber's motor provides higher torque values. Its variable-speed trigger combines with a two-speed transmission for more precise flow control. Lincoln's entire line of PowerLubers features high-strength composite bodies and metal gear and pump housings. The balanced design of these tools helps reduce operator fatigue and increase productivity.

Cut Chiller Energy Losses

Redi Controls has introduced the OAM Purger, an oil-acid-moisture purger that helps regain chiller capacity and can cut down on energy losses due to oil migration during chiller operation. Oil frequently finds its way into the evaporator where it mixes with the refrigerant, degrading system efficiency and capacity. Its manufacturer notes that the OAM Purger can help reduce this effect by cleaning the chiller's refrigerant charge to only a trace level of oil.

Schroeder has introduced the Ion Exchange Unit (IXU) for the conditioning of flame-resistant, phosphate-ester-based (HFD-R) hydraulic and lubrication fluids. The manufacturer says benefits include real-time monitoring of ISO cleanliness classes, longer oil-change intervals and increased service life of fluids and components. The IXU works by removing acidic products of decomposition caused by the hydrolysis and/or oxidation of the fluids. The product is suited for hydraulic and lubrication oil tanks of up to 5000 gallons (20,000 liters) with volumetric flow of up to approximately 2.4 gpm (9 L/min) in the bypass flow.
