Leaner, Meaner Air Compressors that Won?t Let You Down
The challenge of containing energy and maintenance costs while ensuring a reliable supply of available air is a prime reason why many industrial users of compressed air are turning to direct-drive electric air compressor systems.By eliminating moving parts such as belts, gears and pulleys, direct-drive rotary screw air compressors have fewer moving parts; hence, they are less likely to fail or require service or replacement parts. Fewer moving parts also mean added efficiency, which translates into energy savings. "We were frequently running out of air with our piston compressors," says Jim Cook, Construction Manager of Pick Your Part, the nation's leading self-service auto wrecker. "Now we use 25- and 30-HP direct drive units from Sullivan-Palatek to ensure that we can meet our demand for continuous and efficient air availability."With nine large yards located throughout California, Pick Your...

On Exhibition: Biocide That Improves Produce Freshness and Shelf Life at PMA Fresh Summit Tradeshow
ATLANTA, GA (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) NOVEMBER 4, 2005 ?- Today at the Produce Marketing Association's Fresh Summit tradeshow, Selective Micro Technologies will showcase the extraordinary effects of the company's Selectrocide chlorine dioxide biocide on produce.
