The workspace measures 10 × 32 × 8 f., and 1.2 million Btu/hr. are installed in a modulating natural gas burner to heat the unit, while a total of 49,000 cfm from two 20-hp recirculating blowers provide combination airfow to the workloads. The oven features 4" insulated walls throughout; aluminized steel interior and exterior; and a removable, top-mounted heat chamber. The oven body is split into four sections for shipment, and mating angle iron frames are provided for easy reassembly in the feld. The Grieve Corp. / 847-546-8225 / grievecorp.com Superhydrophobic Coating Resists Abrasion Nanomyte SuperCN Plus from NEI Corp. is a functionally graded coating formulated to impart superhydrophobic properties to substrates such as plastics, metals, glass, painted surfaces and fabrics. These superhydrophobic properties force liquids to bead up and roll of, shedding water instantly and leaving the surface completely dry. Unlike monolithic superhydrophobic coatings that consist of a relatively sof material that is easily abraded or rubbed Compressed-Air Filter Removes Contaminates Walmec North America's 0.01-micron SuperStar is a four- stage filtration system designed to provide clean, dry, com- pressed air that removes vapors and contaminates down to 0.01 micron. The system is available with flow ranges of 50, 75 or 100 scfm, and it can handle pres- sure ratings as high as 250 psi. It is said to work best when installed at or near the point of use. The system's frst- and second-stage flters remove moisture, liquids, dust, rust, scale and other contaminants to 5 microns. An automatic foat drain under the second-stage flter opens and expels all collected liquids when- ever an ounce or more is present. The third and fourth stages then remove any remaining particles down to 0.01 micron and absorb any remaining vapors. The fltration system includes a diferential pressure gage that indicates when maintenance is required. This maintenance can be completed by installing the appropriate service kit, with- out removing the unit from the compressed air system. Walmec North America / 866-764-8377 / walmecna.com away, SuperCN Plus features a hard and abrasion-resistant outer layer that transitions into a sofer material closer to the substrate. Surfaces treated with the coating show water contact angles as high as 165°F. Its graded structure enables SuperCN Plus to maintain its superhydrophobicity and high contact angle even afer moderate damage. Additionally, it ofers good adhesion to the substrate, the company says. NEI Corp. / 732-868-3141 / neicorporation.com.
