Pie mold. No, it's not the fuzzy stuff you find a week after Aunt Loretta sends you home with left-overs. Campers know what I'm talking about. Pie molds were all the rage in the Seventies--and they're still popular today. One of my favorite childhood memories is sitting around the campfire as a kid, feeling the warmth on my face, watching the flames dance, listening to the hiss and pop of burning wood, and smelling the acrid aroma that will linger in your clothes until their next washing. In this memory, I'm holding the wooden grips of a pie mold, keeping its cooking surface just above the hot coals on the fire's edge.The Pie Mold was our campfire cooker, and a slick one at that. On the business end...

Are you working on a chemical or pharmaceutical process industry? Or do you have experience working in textile manufacturing? If you do, perhaps you know ball valves are parts of quarter turn valves or rotary valves. By turning a handle that is attached to a ball that is inside the valve, the valves open. They then move in response to fluid or mechanical pressure.Inside the valve, there is a ball that has a port, which is actually a hole at the middle. When this hole is aligned with both valve ends, liquid can flow easily through it. After the valve has been closed, the hole becomes perpendicular to the valve ends impeding the flow of liquid.Lots of different industries make use of ball valves in...

Unfortunately, many buyers end up purchasing equipment that lacks the capability and flexibility to meet production volumes and tolerances, simply because they don't understand all available options and considerations.Between diminishing factory orders and increasing labor and energy costs, companies that use plate metal in their fabricating processes are finding their profit margins increasingly pinched.Yet, manufacturers must still invest in new production equipment -- whether to replace obsolete equipment or to take advantage of new business opportunities -- in order to remain competitive.Manufacturers must make careful assessments when evaluating the addition of new plate-rolling equipment.

When we raised the steel import tax a few years ago it hurt many manufacturing sectors who used steel in their production. It also hurt smaller companies, which use steel in their products. US Steel prices have cost our team thousands of extra dollars due to the import taxes that were imposed. We told everyone if they raise the cost of steel even one hundred dollars per ton we will seek to build the truck beds out of other materials, and once we do we will never go back to steel. It is heavy, costs gas mileage, rusts, leaving iron oxide streaks on the exterior paint. It is by the cost we even still use steel.If the steel companies in this country cannot run more efficient and get their labor unions...

When people decide to purchase a gazebo, they often strive to achieve a certain viewpoint in the yard, either from the inside looking out or the outside looking in. Whether a poolside retreat or a garden centerpiece, a gazebo may also fulfill a longtime desire to revisit childhood memories many people growing up in the south have said they wish to relive. The three most common materials gazebos are made of include wood, metal, and vinyl. Wood that lasts like metal and vinyl is the most requested. Unlike patio covers that are mostly overhead and exposed to the weather, thus making metal and vinyl the best choice, a gazebo is to be felt all around you, and the feel of wood cannot be duplicated. That...
