Air-powered vacuum
The Model 860/02 is perfect for managers who want to eliminate drum handling, and collect and discharge their powders in a safe, dust-free & convenient way. The Model 860/02 uses an air-powered vacuum cover with manual pulse-jet filter cleaning and non-stick filtration that captures 99.9% of particles as small as 0.5 microns. The rugged portable frame includes a collection hopper with automatic discharge valve and polybag loading accessory. When the vacuum is turned off, the collected powder automatically discharges into off-the-shelf static-conductive polybag.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
