FocusOn: Air Circulation Furnace

Nabertherm's N 150/02 CDB electrically heated air circulation furnace is designed for the catalytic debinding of PIM. The polyoxymethylene of the binder is removed from the green compact and chemically decomposed under the influence of the nitric acid. Nitrogen carrier gas removes exhaust and is burnt by the gas-heated exhaust torch.

Unsurpassed safety features include safety control via the PLC with automatic chamber purge in the event of any atmosphere leakage or system failure, door sealing with a monitored nitrogen atmosphere, and an automatic double-locking door, as well as redundant flow controllers for automatic gas supply.

Survey Says!
Last week's CyberPoll focused on H.R. 2998, the energy/climate change bill recently passed by the House. Of the total respondents, 82.5% agreed that the legislation is "the biggest job-killing bill that has ever been on the floor of the House of Representatives." The majority of respondents (73.2%) do not believe the bill will pass the Senate in its current form. Respondents provided many comments this week, including: "This is nothing but a jobs elimination bill for the U.S. workers. No company that wants to stay in business and compete globally will stay in the U.S." Another respondent said, "If this bill passes in the Senate, the cost will fall on the consumer like a ton of bricks."
