Happy Thanksgiving from Intech

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope you enjoy good food and time with family and friends this Thanksgiving. Our employees will be taking time to do the same and Intech’s office will be closed on Thurday & Friday, November 26-27. 

Volunteer Day 2015 at the Sunday Breakfast Mission

Intech Services’ Community Service team organized a great opportunity to make the most of the holiday season. On the morning of Monday the 16^th and afternoon of Wednesday the 18^th Intech employees volunteered at Sunday Breakfast Mission: a local outreach organization that provides food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and education opportunities to the homeless, addicted, and impoverished in the area.

The Sunday Breakfast Mission is a Christian faith-based organization that operates in the city of Wilmington where these problems sadly persist. Intech Services is proud to be associated with a local charity that is changing the lives of hundreds of people every day. On both days, our groups gladly packed boxes of food to give to families in need and cleaned up the common areas of the facility. The work was physically hard and emotionally rewarding. We all left with both a more acute sense of gratitude for all we have and a feeling of satisfaction for “being the change we want to see in the world.” 

Thanksgiving Celebration at Intech

Intech Services celebrated Thanksgiving a week early with a pot-luck lunch. Everyone was able to take some time out from their busy schedules to sit down, kick off the holiday season and give thanks for all the good fortunes that have come our way in 2015. 

We enjoyed all the traditional Thanksgiving fare including turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce as well as the less traditional main course of a turducken roll, which was quickly gobbled down.  While the food was delicious, the company and the atmosphere is what made the mid-day break special. We wanted to share our gratitude with all of our clients and customers who truly make our work meaningful and joyful. 

Happy Thanksgiving from our Intech family to yours.

Precision Quincy Ovens’ New Brochure: Beneficial Application Add-ons Part 2

We are very excited about the creation of Precision Quincy’s new Industrial Ovens Options Brochure.

Intech Services represents Precision Quincy Ovens, an industry-leading manufacturer of many types of industrial ovens. For over 60 years, Precision Quincy Ovens have been used industry-wide across the globe.

For the past few months, Intech and Precision Quincy have been working hard to create a new client brochure.  The Precision Quincy Options Brochure is the perfect guide to selecting the right oven options for your process application.

  

Beneficial Application Add-ons

Variable Frequency Drive: Variable frequency drive on the recirculation fan facilitates adjustable airspeeds. This allows for maximum temperature uniformity at maximum temperature while preventing coating blow off at lower temperatures. Variable frequency drives require the purchase of a Watlow F4 controller.  

Door Switch: Door switches are great for saving energy, especially when you load or unload your oven frequently. The optional door switch turns off the heaters and circulation system when the door is opened. 

Fresh Air Filtration: Filtration packages are connected to the fresh air inlet port and clean the incoming air stream. They are commonly used in powder coating, medical, and laboratory settings.

Coating Markets for Teflon™ Fluoropolymers: Commercial Water Treatment

The US commercial water and sewer industry includes approximately 5,000 companies who generate an estimated $9 billion in annual revenue. Their primary focus is on companies that provide equipment and services to communities, chemical facilities, and food manufacturers with water treatment issues. The commercial segment of the water treatment industry is relatively small compared to the $55 billion spent annually on water and sewage services by regional and local governments. With continued population growth and more stringent drinking water standards, the EPA estimates the industry will be spending some $280 billion to upgrade facilities during the next 20 years.

The market is concentrated, with the 50 largest companies (e.g., American Water Works, California Water, Aqua America, etc.) accounting for nearly 65% of overall revenue. The industry is expected to continue to consolidate, as larger companies find it easier to gain capital funding for expensive maintenance projects.

Key Benefits of Teflon™ industrial coatings: 

• Corrosion resistance
• Chemical resistance
• Low coefficient of friction
• Anti-galling

Typical Applications:

• T bolts for ductile iron water pipe - anti-galling with corrosion resistance
• Grates - releases build up of sediment material that occurs during the waste process
• Pumps - minor chemical resistance and low COF
