Carclo India

Carclo Technical Plastics Ltd announces the opening of its new manufacturing facility in India.

Operating from a facility in Doddaballapur, Bangalore, Carclo India was initially established in 2007 to service one of its major customers who had set up an Indian manufacturing facility. Due to excellent supply performance, an opportunity was created to expand Carclo’s capabilities in India to service this customer globally.  This was in keeping with Carclo’s strategy to expand on a global basis.

In 2010, Carclo has opened a new, purpose built facility adjacent to the original site.  This new facility has been designed around the global Carclo model of manufacturing  and consists of two discreet assembly areas and two moulding areas fully serviced by central material feed , air and water cooling systems. The facility itself has a 1000 m2 footprint with the possibility to expand by 50%.

The moulding areas have a capacity for 10 injection moulding machines in the 50-150T range.

Both moulding and assembly areas have been designed around white room requirements in line with Carclo’s business strategy in India, namely to target medical applications. These areas have a controlled entrance area for gowning and controlled material access and finished goods exit.

There are 30 employees on site at present and the site is currently accredited to ISO 9001.  Accreditation to ISO 14001 is scheduled for January 2011 and EN 13485 is planned for Oct 2011.

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.
