Reduction Engineering Scheer Introduces Disposable Pulverizer Disks for High Wear Applications

The development of disposable disks using specialty steel provides important advantages in corrosion resistance and longevity.

2014-04-25

KENT, OH, April 25, 2014 (Press-News.org) Reduction Engineering Scheer, the leading manufacturer of plastic pulverizers, has released a new product in its line of disposable pulverizer disks made with a high-carbon, high-chromium alloy steel.

"The addition of this new product gives a terrific option to companies facing the toughest applications," said Richard A. D'Angelo, chief operating officer for Reduction Engineering Scheer. "Our newest disks provide enhanced wear performance when processing abrasive plastics without using a heavy standard disk.

"The savings from shipping costs to sharpen standard disks alone makes this a great option, but the additional performance is game-changing."

The new steel in this disk is particularly well-suited for applications requiring long runs and close tolerances, because of its high:
- Wear resistance
- Compressive strength
- Stability in hardening

When Reduction Engineering Scheer launched the plastics industry's first disposable cutting disk two years ago, the product represented a major innovation in pulverizing technology. Its advantages included:
- Reduced shipping cost
- Lower mill temperatures
- Increased rates
- Construction that's 75% thinner and lighter
- Larger cutting diameter

At the time, the company said the lightweight disks doubled the service life of standard disks at half the cost.

"Now, with the introduction of disposable disks made of this new material, we've forged yet another important advancement that will only further benefit our customers," D'Angelo said.

Genetic legacy of rare dwarf trees is widespread

2014-04-25

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have found genetic evidence that one of Britain's native tree species, the dwarf birch found in the Scottish Highlands, was once common in England. Genes from dwarf birch were found in birch tree populations across Britain, which reflects a much wider distribution occupied by the "wee tree" when the British climate was colder. "We seem to have found genetic footprints of the retreat of dwarf birch into its current refuges in the Scottish Highlands," said Dr Richard Buggs, Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary's School of Biological ...

Store doping samples for 10 years to stop sports cheats, say anti-doping bodies

2014-04-25

Blood and urine samples taken from athletes to spot signs of doping should be stored for 10 years, to enable technology to catch up with substances that currently evade detection, says a consensus statement of international anti-doping bodies, published in a special issue of the British Journal of Sports Medicine. And much wider use should be made of biological profiling—the athlete's "biological passport"—which will show up tiny changes made to the individual's unique genetic blueprint by doping substances and methods, without the need to identify the presence of the ...
