A leading louver and damper manufacture needed an electric failsafe operator that could endure a tunnel fire and still operate the ventilation system (without an external power source). To qualify, the unit had to undergo a 2HR burn test that required it to “bake” at 500 deg F for 2 hours, while being cycled every
A specialty products manufacturer with 20 hot oil pump units was looking for a better pump sealing system. Their current mechanical seals would last 3-4 months. The seal failure caused the entire hot oil unit to fail and release oil onto the floor causing a safety concern. The pump sealing system would be required to
A manufacturer of equipment for commercial laundries was developing a system to deliver instant hot water to washers using steam already onsite. The problem was finding a control valve to precisely heat city water within the limited confines of the panel board. After reviewing the application parameters, (desired temperature, volume and temperature range) we recommended

High Alloy Stainless Steels For many years, the 300 series stainless steels (SST) have been the workhorse alloys for corrosive applications. For severe applications, the nickel-base alloys were the next step up in corrosion resistance. The cost differential, however, was great (four to ten times, or more). In recent years, duplex and superaustenitic SSTs have
With increased oversight, workplace safety has become an important part of running an industrial plant. Our everyday lives rely on the “safeness” of our workplace. Even something as commonplace as a flow control valve can become a hazard if located in an unsafe area. Elliott Manufacturing has developed an easy way to remotely operate any
A manufacturer of lids for the food industry was developing a new lid in their R&D lab. The lab’s retort (pressure cooker) was using traditional control valves (rising stem globe) with a 3-15PSI signal. The problem arose when the control valves could not control the retorts pressure and temperature at the desired response time. Our
