Aftermarket Daily News Friday, November 8, 2019 8 Controlled Pyrolysis Cleaning Furnace from Pollution Control Pollution Control's industrial cleaning furnaces (burn-off ovens) cover the entire spectrum of thermal stripping and heat cleaning technology. Safe and effective, they are capable of handling any com- bustible that can legally be removed with heat. Widely used in industry, Pollution Control burn-off ovens safely remove polymers, paints, powder coatings, adhe- sives, grease, insulation and chemicals from paint hangers and racks, engine blocks, electric motors, extrusion screws, breaker plates, dies, nozzles and many other metal parts and tooling. Virtually pollution-free, the company's patented Controlled Pyrolysis ® process eliminates all hydrocarbon emissions, and the use of dangerous chemical strippers and other toxic materials. In today's competitive manufacturing marketplace, production lines must be super efficient and pristine. Changes in process materials or colors, the build-up of polymers or simple routine maintenance require that equipment be thoroughly cleaned before it is returned to production. Repetitive manual cleaning will in time result in physical damage, not to mention injury to employees. Chemicals and abra- sives may pose serious health and envi- ronmental consequences. Controlled Pyrolysis is a gentle process that extends the life of parts and tooling. Operating at 800-1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, pyrolysis con- verts organic-based materi- als into a carbon-based smoke. The smoke is then passed through a 1,500 degree Fahrenheit afterburn- er, exiting the exhaust stack as odorless and harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide. Advanced control systems maintain a low oxygen atmos- phere that fully protects the tooling being cleaned. It's easy-to-operate self-adjust- ing controls reduce labor cost and machinery downtime, and its automatic time cycles ensure the oven runs only long enough to clean parts. The history of Pollution Control is the history of "burn-off" ovens. Peyton Simpson, the company's Founder, designed his first burn-off furnace in 1970 for a neighboring business needing to com- ply with new emission stan- dards. The success of that first furnace launched Pollution Control Products Company in 1971. Today, the company is run by Peyton's daughter, Jo Simpson, and Pollution Control is the rec- ognized leader in the sales and service of burn-off ovens, with over 9,000 installations in 45 countries around the world. Pollution Control is eager to prove its capabilities. Send any metal part that needs to be cleaned and the company will run a test clean at no charge, and return the part to you to determine if its technol- ogy will be of value to you.

Stage 8 Locking Fasteners Seeks Dealers, Jobbers and Wholesale Distributors Stage 8 Locking Fasteners, Inc., (Stage 8) celebrates more than 30 years of fail- safe joint integrity for critical applica- tions. Founded in 1985 by Bruce Bennett, the company provides locking header bolts to frustrated backyard mechanics a well as produces them for industrial purposes. As Bennett notes, everyone has something they want to stay put – without concern – and his company does so for many industries. Stage 8 Locking Bolts are used in locomotives, automobiles and earthmovers. Stage 8 manufactures and sells a patented mechanical locking fastener system, which is impervious to vibration and heat cycle. Invented by Bennett, the patented three-piece system installs easi- ly and is completely re-useable. Customers have the ability to specify materials as well as plating for their cus- tom applications. The company's origin story sets the tone for the company. As Bennett notes on his website, just like many other motorcycle owners, he regularly worked on his own bike. One day, more than three decades ago, as he was replacing a new exhaust pipe, the pipe fell off – the first day out of the box. He realized there was nothing preventing the pipe from working loose again – and again, and again – so he decided to do something about it. He started with a simple con- cept: a bolt that would not work its way loose, even under extremes of tempera- ture. With his dog Eightball keeping him company, Bennett worked two days straight on the new idea. As many inven- tors discover, failure brings new ideas and per- sistence in trying new ideas brings ultimate suc- cess. After seven initial designs that did not work, he created an eighth option that worked perfectly. It was a simple solu- tion – one that laid a locking wrench on to a grooved head of a bolt. This locked the bolt down so it did not work loose when the machine vibrated or when the metal became hot, expanded and then with cooling, contracted and shrank. Sadly, Eightball, who had been ever-pre- sent, resting on her bench in the work- shop throughout the creation process, passed to the next world. He honored his beloved canine by naming his new com- pany Stage 8 Locking Fasteners, Inc. Safe, sturdy and steady, Stage 8's locking header bolts are a boon to any industry. Bennett notes that although he is not launch- ing any new products this year, he brought the company to the show to sign up new dealers and to demo the company's current products to as many people as is possible. Bennet knows that Stage 8's locking header bolts are the best on the market. The company also provides the best solution for Turbocharger fastening systems by utiliz- ing the company's Locking Turbo Fastener Kits.

WeatherTech Celebrates American Industry, Workers Since its inception in 1989, American manufacturing has been at the forefront of WeatherTech ® Founder and Chief Executive Officer David MacNeil's mind. Believing that the unnecessary exportation of American jobs needed to cease, MacNeil set out to help reverse this trend. When founding WeatherTech, he actively chose to create a company that celebrates American industry and workers. "Made in America" is a mantra by which the company lives and has been a driving force to further promote and inspire American-made consumerism. For the past 30 years, the core values of the company have laid a strong founda- tion that has allowed the company to flourish into what it is today. These val- ues can be seen in every product devel- oped, every facility built and within each and every dedicated WeatherTech employee. From product development to manu- facturing to marketing, WeatherTech has 10 Illinois-based facilities that house all branches of the company. Among the factories and warehouses where WeatherTech products are produced and housed sits the company's mod- ern headquarters, where ideas are brought to life. Just a few paces away, WeatherTech's publicly acces- sible factory store can be found, which displays the best products in vehi- cle, home and pet protection, all of which are available for purchase. WeatherTech's investment in American manufacturing never stops, as seen by the company's 2019 expansion plan, which includes the construction of a new tooling building to keep up with the needs of this ever-growing company. The addition of this more sizable facility means more machinery to pro- duce more American-made solu- tions and importantly, more employment opportunities for locally based workers. WeatherTech takes immense pride in being able to continue to deliver on the promise that was made those many years ago. To learn more about WeatherTech, the company's mission and to check out exciting new American-made products that are being unveiled at the show, visit booth #31103 (South Hall Upper Level).
