Industrial Curing Ovens Designed to Reduce Energy While Providing Uniform, Quality Finishes

Image
When supplying air pollution control and process heating equipment to the metals industry, beyond meeting the stringent regulations and best manufacturing practices, equipment suppliers must develop new system designs that can keep pace with technological advancements and changing demands. As these industrial systems can have an operating lifespan of 30-plus years, it is critical to think far into the future when designing and engineering anything meant to meet tomorrow’s requirements. Ultimately, environmental impacts and long-term operating costs will be the key drivers when creating any successful systems for a metals industry application. Epcon embedded these principles into patented designs and systems engineering for two projects designed for coil coating operations so that the coil coaters would benefit from optimal process solutions. The first project was a Continuous Cure Oven System for a new laminated aluminum sheet line to be operated by a manufacturer of specialty

Epcon Advises on Government PFAS Policy

Image
Epcon's advisory work with the Department of Commerce via the Environmental Technology Trade Advisory Committee ( ETTAC) regarding the regulations around PFAS and "forever chemicals" made the headlines. Learn more about the environmental and health concerns with PFAS substances and how bans could affect global supply chains. Advisory panel urges Commerce to press EU on PFAS regs’ trade implications | InsideTrade.com     PFAS, short for Per- and Polymorphically Substances, are a group of man-made chemicals that have been around since the 1940s. Recent studies have linked PFAS exposure to a range of health problems, including increased cholesterol levels, changes in liver enzymes, decreased vaccine response in children, and increased risks of certain cancers. What's more alarming is that PFAS contamination is widespread, affecting water supplies, air, and soil across the globe, making it a pressing public health concern. As we push for stronger regulations and

Optimizing Your Industrial Process Operations

Image
From metal preparation, coating application, and curing, to emissions compliance and safety measures, a custom-engineered controls system is an essential feature for any metal coil coating line. In integrated control system is the most effective way to enhance any complex industrial manufacturing process . A well-designed control system not only ensures greater safety and hazard prevention, but it also allows for precise monitoring for strict operating parameters. While recommended for all industrial process equipment, for some applications, such as metal coil coating, a sophisticated controls system is a critical element for successful production. Process speeds, temperature ranges, airflows, and pressure, as well as air pollution control mechanism, all need to be closely monitored and adjusted for the progressive stages of production. In the modern manufacturing industry, coil coating represents an essential step in metal production, ensuring a long-life span of the metal parts.
