Renewable Lubricants assists Weedoo Greenboats to power onboard hydraulic equipment
October 2, 2024
Clearing the world’s waterways of invasive vegetation, algae, refuse, and other pollutants is essential work with enormous impact. Healthy marine environments are a lifeline for so many things—from jobs such as farming, fishing, and shipping; to clean water and wildlife habitats; to property values, tourism, and recreational opportunities. Regular herbicide use, chemical runoff, and basic evolution have caused numerous plant species to develop resistance, leading to clogged waterways and other hazards. Removing the offensive materials mechanically is ideal, but that method poses different challenges. Fortunately, Weedoo Greenboat, Inc. found an environmentally friendly solution that is also cost effective from Renewable Lubricants.
Implementing a power-on-demand concept based on variable speed drives allows for energy saving in any application
that involves pumps or hydraulic systems. And when used in combination with an intelligent wiring and communication system, relevant machine data can also be easily recorded
- the basis for comprehensive power management.
When trying to find a new bonding material dispense system, one manufacturer tested a series of pumps — all of which leaked due to the abrasiveness of the bonding material. The manufacturer also had been attempting to manage shot size
manually with their previous system, and was not able to keep dispense consistent. The company searched for
a system that could accurately dispense programmed shot sizes while also eliminating the leaking issues they
had experienced with previous pumps. Graco provided a Check-Mate pump with SmartWare software, and the manufacturer is now able to automatically dispense shots of bonding material as small as one ounce without leaks.
While the basic design of iron and coke blast furnaces is centuries old, today's steel makers are looking for innovative
ways to produce molten iron with increased production and efficiency
