Q8 Oils Unveils Eco-Friendly Packaging System

Q8 Oils is launching the Q8 Oilqube, an environmentally friendly packaging system. The Q8 Oilqube is manufactured and filled at the company's Leeds blending plant, where a purpose-built, automated Q8 Oilqube filling machine is based. Aimed initially at the agricultural and plant machinery sectors, the 20L packaging has been developed as an alternative to the traditional plastic drum and is made up of two key components: a water-resistant, 98 per cent-recyclable cardboard box and an inner plastic bag, which produces 84 per cent less waste compared to a standard plastic drum.

For customers, this means a significant reduction in the disposal costs associated with plastic waste, as well as improved storage and stacking with the new box-shaped design, which is said to be critical where storage room is limited. Without the glugging of a traditional plastic drum, pouring is also said to be easier, with minimum spillage and waste.

The Q8 Oilqube will be shown for the first time at the Federation of Petroleum Suppliers Expo 2010 on 21-22 April at the Harrogate International Centre. It will be implemented as the new packaging style across a number of products in the Q8 Oils range, including: super universal tractor oil (Q8 T 1000 SUTO 10W-30); transmission oil (Q8 T 2000); engine oil (Q8 T 750 15W-40); and various hydraulic oils (Q8 Heller 32 and 46, Q8 Haydn 32 and 46 and Q8 Holbein 46).

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
