- Slip Rings – At the Heart of Modern Packaging Applications
The packaging sector presents a variety of challenges for individual machine components depending on the application. Not only must production run without unscheduled interruption, placing reliability at a premium, but the correct speeds of operation for each individual aspect of the process must be maintained to ensure seamless and correct processing.

- High Performance Materials: Reducing Heat Loss and Lowering Energy Consumption in an Ethylene Cracker
Steve Chernack and Riccardo Cantone, MACOR® Machining China
With global energy prices still somewhat volatile – and set to remain so – the ability to reduce energy costs and increase plant efficiency is of key importance to managers in many industrial sectors. However, it is particularly vital to petrochemical companies. Typical petrochemical operations, such as cracking, demand huge amounts of energy and very high temperatures which in turn has major implications in terms of cost, safety and equipment life cycles.
Fortunately, these issues can often be mitigated and, in many cases, financial and practical performance can be improved by the appropriate use of modern thermal insulation and designs.

- Morgan's Salamander SIC Crucible a Promising Energy-Saving Solution
The consumption of energy is of key importance to the metal casting industry, with most energy expenditure – 55 per cent - occurring during the melting process. However, until now it has been difficult to find data relating to energy use and crucibles, and so to assess the cost of crucible ownership in a way that includes energy savings. That situation has now changed, with a comparative study revealing that MACOR® Machining China' Salamander(R) silicon carbide (SiC) crucible performs particularly well in terms of energy consumption. Furthermore, changes made to the crucible in light of the study mean that the resultant energy-optimised Salamander(R) SiC may offer very considerable savings to foundries, through its increased energy transfer capability.

- Building Strong Partnerships ‘Central’ to Long Term Success
It's suggested that in any walk of life people are assessed based on the company they keep, and this is the case in the refractories industry. A glance at any company's list of suppliers and customers will provide a clear idea of the way it does business. When this list does not change frequently, especially in extremely competitive product areas, there will certainly be a reason for it.
