    I have an open top hydraulic ram wood griner

    I have an open top hydraulic wood grinder that utilizes a ram to push the material through cutting teeth. The grinder is located approximately 5' below the floor level of the plant on the outside of the building. Three of its sides are protected by brick walls and therefore have no access. The...

    Burden Rate

    In my experience most large manufacturing facilities use between 35-40% of the labor rate for each emloyee involved in the study. Most studies are in cost centers or value streams.

    Disposing of filters with UV coating on them

    I am looking to install a semi-down draft dry spray booth to spray UV coatings within. The questions I have are: Is the UV coatings, like the ones typically used on wood furniture, greater than an ignitability flash point less than 140 degrees F. Are the dry filters, which are expected to...

    UV Coating breakdown into water?

    I need to find an efficient way to neutralize UV coating material in water? I am spraying a water based UV coating on wood products in a "side down draft spray booth" and I would like to be able to break the material down after it is sprayed onto the product and the overflow gets...

    Process flow symblos for plant layout

    Thank you, this is just what I need. I have ordered the software; it is a very good trade-off for $100. Good find.

    Process flow symblos for plant layout

    I need to find a listing of all the symbols that I can use to represent flow on a plant layout AutoCAD drawing. e.g.- I have a product family that flows throw a department and then splits off in to several directions to go to different work cells. What symbol represents that split (one input...

    Determining the amount of material sprayed over time

    This is close to what I am dealing w/ start and stop dynamics are not at issue for I will start before and end spraying after the target surface. When you say time are you speaking of speed of travel of the spray gun or time spent spraying at one particular spot?

    Is there anyone that has done a FMEA on grinding wheels?

    If so, is there a source I can go to help me create one? Thanks in advance...

    Determining the amount of material sprayed over time

    Ok, I'm going to give this a shot. I can obviusly fix the geomerty of the nozzle. I can also fix the height of the nozzle tip from the sprayed surface. The only issue is going to be that the time spent on a given area of the surface will have to be pre-determined for coverage amount given the...

    Determining the amount of material sprayed over time

    This is what I came up with as a solution please tell me if my premise was wrong. I just need to know if I spray for 2 seconds, 3 seconds, etc on any spot how much material have I applied. So, if my flow rate is 2ft^2 per second then for each second I have applied 2 ft^2 of material...

    Determining the amount of material sprayed over time

    Given that I know the shape the material forms when sprayed I know the rate of flow out of the gun I know the viscosity of the material being sprayed

    Determining the amount of material over time

    If I were to spray a glue mixture onto a flat surface at a controlled and constant rate of flow, with a constant mixture viscosity, and the shape that is formed from the spraying forms a circle how can I approach solving for the amount of material that I have applied at t=1 sec, t=2 sec, t=X...

    I cannot get my dimension text sizes to change

    on my drawing in AutoCAD R14. I have even completed a block transfer of another drawing from our network to utilize their formated size, but as soon as it is imported over and I attempt to explode the drawing it changes to the unwanted default size of 0.18 text height. A little assistance here...

    Alternative to Toggle-Lock for metal joining

    I am joining two tile-rails, 2 cap ends and 1 brace-cross to one another. Currently, I am using a Toggle-Lock system which requires 10 BTM presses 5-10 tons each. The space that the presses take up is huge. I am looking for a replacement to the system that is on a smaller level that I can...
