BLAST CABINET Guyson Corp. of U.S.A., Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

Guyson Corp. has introduced an extra-large pressure-blast system with expanded cubic capacity to handle oversize components and bulky fabrications for blasting op- erations such as coating removal, blast cleaning, and surface prepa- ration. The machine has a 72-in.

The + GF + PPRO-Seal Piping sys- tem features an innovative new plug connection and insulated leads to provide faster, cleaner field installation with strong fu- sion joints. Constructed of natural polypropylene, the system is ide- ally suited for water treatment, chemical processing, and other applications where high purity and corrosion resistance is re- quired. The system can handle corrosive fluids up to 180°F and offers excellent impact strength at ambient temperatures, retain- ing much of its impact resistance at low temperatures.

V l ~ I ~ N A , S m l R S Finishing Equipment Inc., St. Paul, Minn. Finishing Equipment Inc.'s vapor degreasers , which use EPA SNAP-approved chlorinated sol- vents, achieve the same results as when using Freon. Methylene chloride, trichloroethylene, and perchlorethylene are EPA ap- proved and provide outstanding cleaning for evaporated and con-

denser coils, as well as enclosures, stampings, and metal parts of all sizes including tiny screw ma- chine parts. Energy used with the vapor degreasers is often 10% or less than aqueous systems and provides better cleaning and no drying problems. Circle 404 on the reader service card

Z INC PLATING PROCESS Heatbath Corp., Springfield, Mass.

Colzinc ACF-II produces a bril- liant, bright deposit from alkaline cyanide-free plating solutions. Deposits have exceptional ductil- ity, even at thicknesses of 1.25 mil. Concentrated, multiple poly- amine blend operates over a wide zinc range: 5.5 to 24.4 g/L. The process is extremely tolerant of trace contaminants from mainte- nance additions and preplate drag-in, and is ideal for low cur- rent density barrel plating and a wide range of current densities for rack plating.
