March 23, 2025 at 6:30 pm in reply to: What is the best equipment for paint production mixing? #316285David SuttonMemberThe GlobeCore USB 6 Impeller Stirrer is an advanced mixing solution that ensures thorough blending of pigments, resins, and additives, creating a uniform and high-quality paint formulation.
David SuttonMemberPCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) in transformers refer to the synthetic chemicals that were once used as insulating fluids but are now banned due to their toxicity and environmental persistence.
David SuttonMemberThe primary purpose of oil in a transformer is to insulate live parts, transfer heat away from the core and windings, and reduce the risk of arcing.
March 6, 2025 at 5:26 pm in reply to: What are the risks of over-milling, and how can they affect the sensory and nutritional properties of cocoa powder? #314511David SuttonMemberOver-milling can lead to excessive heat generation and oxidation, which may degrade flavor compounds, reduce antioxidant levels, and create a bitter taste. Balancing milling duration and intensity is crucial, and advanced systems like GlobeCore help prevent over-milling by providing real-time data to stop the process at the optimal point.
March 6, 2025 at 2:35 pm in reply to: What is the working principle behind a spice grinding machine? #314450David SuttonMemberSpice grinding machines operate by using high-speed rotational shear forces to break down spice particles. GlobeCore Colloid Mills use a rotor-stator mechanism that generates intense shear, ensuring the spices are uniformly ground to the desired fineness.
February 21, 2025 at 8:06 pm in reply to: What challenges are faced when scaling mustard production from small to large batches? #297437David SuttonMemberScaling up can introduce issues with maintaining flavor consistency, texture, and even mixing. Equipment effective at small scale may not perform identically in larger volumes. Temperature control, ingredient distribution, and regulatory compliance become more complex. Investments in advanced automation and process optimization are often required to overcome these challenges.
November 29, 2024 at 6:33 am in reply to: What are the advantages of waterproof coatings with bitumen over traditional coatings? #132303David SuttonMemberBitumen coatings offer superior water resistance, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional coatings. They adapt well to structural movements. GlobeCore’s polymer-modified bitumen solutions deliver advanced waterproofing properties, suitable for demanding construction environments.
David SuttonMemberProperties include high thermal stability, fire resistance, excellent cooling, and biodegradability.
David SuttonMemberBenefits include fire risk reduction, increased transformer life, and environmentally friendly disposal.
November 21, 2024 at 7:26 pm in reply to: How is a bitumen emulsion production plant maintained? #131532David SuttonMemberMaintenance includes regular cleaning of tanks and pipelines, calibration of dosing systems, lubrication of moving parts, and periodic checks of heating systems and control units.
November 20, 2024 at 10:41 pm in reply to: What does ductility reveal about bitumen flexibility? #131315David SuttonMemberDuctility measures the extent to which bitumen can stretch before breaking, indicating its flexibility and ability to withstand tensile stresses. High ductility values reveal that the bitumen can accommodate thermal expansion and contraction without cracking, which is crucial for durability in varying temperatures.
November 20, 2024 at 5:16 pm in reply to: What is asphalt emulsion cold recycling and what are its benefits? #131258David SuttonMemberCold recycling involves milling existing pavement, mixing it with asphalt emulsion, and reapplying it. It conserves resources, reduces costs, and minimizes environmental impact by reusing materials.
October 7, 2024 at 8:39 am in reply to: How does diesel fuel polishing benefit standby generators? #122704David SuttonMemberDiesel fuel polishing benefits standby generators by ensuring that stored fuel remains clean and free of contaminants. Clean fuel improves generator performance, reduces the risk of engine failure, and ensures reliable operation during power outages.
October 7, 2024 at 8:29 am in reply to: How are contaminants removed from wind turbine transformer oil? #122692David SuttonMemberContaminants in wind turbine transformer oil are removed through filtration and degassing. Filters capture solid particles like dirt, metal, and sludge, while vacuum degassing systems remove dissolved gases and moisture. For more severe contamination, oil regeneration processes may be employed to restore the oil’s properties by removing acids and sludge, effectively extending the oil’s lifespan.
David SuttonMemberX-ray transformer oil is analyzed by testing several key parameters, including dielectric strength, moisture content, acidity, and the presence of dissolved gases or particles. Dielectric tests measure the oil’s ability to insulate, while moisture and acidity tests check for contamination that could lead to breakdowns. Dissolved gas analysis (DGA) is used to detect gases produced by faults inside the transformer. Regular oil analysis helps identify issues early and prevents equipment failure. GlobeCore’s oil filtration systems are designed to purify oil, restoring its insulating and cooling properties, ensuring reliable transformer operation.
