The system includes a 20-foot, 1-1/2-inch suction line, a 50-foot, ¾-inch discharge line, a foot valve, and an air aspirating nozzle with flow rate of 12 gallons per minute. It can generate over 70 psi of pressure while delivering up to 33 gallons per minute on two lines.

Kiln-direct Expands Plant, Production, Service

Kiln-direct is expanding in order to meet the demands of the pallet industry for its pallet heat-treatment systems.

The company has added a new building in North Carolina that tripled production space. This has allowed for a 50% increase in production of pallet kilns, and Kiln-direct anticipates another 50% increase if sales continue to climb.

Kiln-direct has expanded its service department with the addition of two new service technicians headed by a senior technician. This organizational change will allow Kiln-direct to handle new installations more efficiently and also to provide stronger support and service to current customers.

Customers are now able to call a service line directly and speak to a technician. Kiln-direct has also hired a new employee to handle service part orders, procurement and assistance in overall plant management.

Kiln-direct’s staff is excited about the changes and is looking forward to the future as they continually strive to offer the best services, products, and resources to customers.

Multi-Seal Seals And Protects Tires

Multi-Seal is a preventive maintenance product that forms a permanent plug to seal tires in the event of a puncture. It is designed to seal and protect tires for the life of the tread.

This product is appropriate for preventive maintenance of rolling stock at pallet manufacturing and pallet recycling businesses, where discarded pallet nails on the plant floor or yard can cause flat tires that are costly to repair and costly in down time. Multi-Seal saves tire repairs, extends tire life, and saves labor and down time.

Multi-Seal is a system of synthetic fibers and fillers in a carefully designed liquid suspension. When a puncture occurs, the escaping air carries Multi-Seal to the hole. The fibers cling to the side of the puncture and form a filter that entraps the fillers. A plug is created, sealing the leak instantly with almost no air loss, and forms a dense, permanent plug.

A tire requires treatment only once for the life of the tread. Multi-Seal will seal up to ¼ of an inch. In eight-ply tires, it will seal a ½-inch puncture, and in 22-ply ties, punctures up to 1 inch.

Multi-Seal can be washed out with water if needed.

For more information, contact Multi-Seal at (740) 548-4689 or visit the Web site at www.preventflats.com.
