Went to the #wimts in #westallis #wisconsin today. It is a nice show to go to because you can see most of the show in a few hours. Found a new source for temperature controllers and found out more about some ultrasonic equipment.

Anodizing line made by Trchnic that I saw at #FABTECH2025. I briefly explain what all the stages do. This is designed to put a thick oxide coating on aluminum. #anodizing #aluminum #customdesignedchemicals

PEM washer from Fabtech. This is a great washer that you can easily add stages to. It has easy access to clean and service the washer. Great for smaller powder coaters. #pemwasher #customdesignedchemicals #fabtech #powdercoating

ACE oven I ran into in Kankakee IL. It looks like a robot from Star Wats or Doctor Who - too cute. It is used in electric motor rewinding. #burnoffoven #electricmotorrepair #aceoven #davetheovenguy

This is a mercury expansion temperature safety. When it goes over temperature expanding gas pushes a plunger that hits a switch and shuts the oven down. These will last nearly forever but the hazards from the mercury make them impossible to get today. #mercury #despatchoven

[Custom Designed Chemicals @CDChemicals]

One of my favorite oven parts. This is a mercury vapor expansion tube on a Despatch Oven that is probably 80 years old. It operates by mercury vapor expanding in a metal tube and pushing a needle over. #ovenrepair #despatch #customdesignedchemicals

This is a mercury expansion tube controller from a 1974 oven. These are still in use in many ovens around the country. They last a long time. However, if they are damaged they need to be disposed of properly.
