Frekote Rel-Eaze is new mold release agent developed by Henkel for releasing sand cores used in foundry operations. This  product produces 15 releases per application, according to the company, providing the potential for significant savings in material, labor, and inventory costs.

Sand cores are used in foundry operations to manufacture highly intricate components including engine blocks from molten metals. In the precision sand casting industry, mold release agents are applied to core boxes to allow hardened sand core molds to eject easily from molding presses. Traditional mold release agents produce just two molds before they must be cleaned and reapplied.

Frekote Rel-Eaze is VOC and organic solvent free. It can be applied at room temperature, and cures at ambient shop temperatures within 30 seconds. As it is a low viscosity liquid, a thin coating can be sprayed on using high volume, low pressure spray systems or wiped on with a clean cotton cloth. When touch up is required, molding may continue immediately after the touchup coat is applied.

Exair's Adjustable E-Vac is a series of low cost, compressed air powered vacuum generators where the vacuum and flow rates can be easily adjusted to suit the application requirements. These vacuum pumps are suitable for a wide variety of “pick and place”, box opening, clamping, lifting, chucking, and surface mounting applications. They are maintenance free and have no moving parts to wear out.

Engineered for high efficiency, the Adjustable E-Vac minimizes compressed air use by allowing it to be tuned to the application. With a simple turn of the unit, the vacuum and flow levels can be changed to overcome porosity and increase or decrease the lifting power. The straight-through, single stage aluminum construction requires no vacuum filter and simply passes contaminants from dirty environments through the unit so there is no clogging or loss of suction.

Adjustable E-Vac is available in four sizes that have adjustable vacuum rates up to 85 kPa, and flow rates up to 81 SCFM (2294 SLPM). Kit configurations that include vacuum cups, fittings, tubing and a mounting clip are available.

Scott has launched the Freedom 6000 IR Combustible gas transmitter, which uses infrared (IR) technology to detect combustible gases and rapidly alert users to potentially unsafe atmospheric conditions. It combines reliability with  a scalable system, reducing total cost of ownership while providing the ability to evolve with emerging technology.

The Freedom 6000 IR combustible gas transmitter is a modular system, wih field replaceable sensors and electronic boards. An upgraded user interface makes trend data  collection and analysis and troubleshooting easier in the field. The miniature IR sensor module is fully encapsulated, eliminating optics cleaning and the possibility of contaminants negatively impacting system performancee. The ability to upgrade to improved sensor technologies eliminates the need to replace a unit.

The system is ideal for the petrochemical ,and oil and gas applications, both upstream and downstream, and  the general industrial market.

The Malish Corporation has introduced Diamabrush, a diamond abrasive floor preparation system for concrete floor polishing, mastic removal and hardwood prep. The new system comprises four different tools, each designed to be used on standard low pressure commercial cleaning machines including single discs, walk behind auto scrubbers and ride-on auto scrubbers.

For preparing a concrete floor for epoxy recoating, the Diamabrush system offers a 25 grit spring metal tool. This brush flexes to hit the highs and lows of the epoxy floor to scarify and prep the epoxy for a recoat. For concrete polishing, the Diamabrush system offers a six tool system to grind and hone trawled concrete floors: 100 grit metal, 100 grit polymer, 200 grit polymer, 400 grit polymer, 1000 grit polymer, and 2000 grit polymer.

To remove mastic, the Diamabrush mastic removal tool is specifically designed to do the job efficiently after a VCT, tile floor or commercial carpet pull-up. The Diamabrush hardwood prep tool removes polyurethane off of hardwood floors. A 50 grit metal blade makes easy work of removing the black felt and mastic off of a wood floor that formally had linoleum or tile floor glued to the top of the wood floor.

Objet Geometries has launched the Connex350, a 3D printing system that jets multiple model materials simultaneously. The machine offers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of multiple materials, with different mechanical or physical properties, all in a single build. Connex350 also helps fabricate digital materials on the fly, enabling users to create composite materials that have preset combinations of mechanical properties.

Based on Objet’s PolyJet Matrix technology, the 3D printing system simultaneously prints two FullCure model materials, and can create an extensive range of digital materials. It can also print a single material from any of the original seven FullCure model materials. By printing with digital materials, the Connex350 users to print parts with specific Shore A values to match the values of the intended production materials. Parts produced on the Connex350 have smooth and durable surfaces, with fine details and a good surface finish. It helps product high quality output and multi-material printing capabilities.
