Keep equipment in shape
A brochure is available for plants interested in keeping their compressors and other rotating equipment operating at peak efficiency. The guide describes the capabilities of RECON condition and monitoring services. The service integrates all condition monitoring technologies including monitoring with an advanced system for collecting, analyzing, diagnosing, and reporting information from remote locations.

Cool enclosures
Vortex Coolers keep electrical cabinets and control panels cool, clean, and protected. An affordable, maintenance-free alternative to air conditioners, the easy-to-install devices have no moving parts to wear out. Refrigerated air produced by the vortex enters the cabinet while hot air is expelled. This design maintains a light positive pressure inside, effectively sealing out contamination.

Clean up condensate
The Kaeser Condensate filter (KCF) is designed to filter out oil and other contaminants from compressed air, making the water safe for disposal. The key to the KCF is a three-stage, self-contained plastic filter cartridge, which is extremely convenient for replacement and disposal. There are two models for flows of 100 and 500 cfm. If higher flows are needed units can be connected with an optional splitter.

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.
