Dust Collector MAC Environmental, A Div. of MAC Equipment Inc. Kansas City, Miss.

The new Mactiflo Cartridge Dust Collector offers the highest energy efficiency in a truly modular design. The Mactiflo was designed to provide greater filtering capacity and higher energy efficiency. Mactiflo’s filter car- tridges have the largest capacity in the

industry. This unique filter cartridge, coupled with our innovative design, offers the highest capacity at the lowest pressure drop, which results in the highest energy efficiency. Mactiflo uses the largest cartridge filter that can be disposed of in 55gal drums. The fully modular Mactiflo can be config- ured in 8-, 12-, or 16-filter modules and features no-tool cartridge removal, Outside cartridge removal avoids OSHA-confined space entry requirements and speeds cartridge filter changes.


Strip it Safe Without the Waste Every year an estimated 270 mil-

lion tons of hazardous waste are generated in the United States. This waste ends up in approximately 30,000 chemical dumps across the country. Much of the waste is or- ganic solvents such as toluene, xy- lene, carbon tetrachloride and trichlorethylene. Faced with cradle to grave responsibility, American industry cannot afford the mounting expense and risk associated with stripping methods that incorporate the use of toxic solvents.

With the Maxi-Blast System, paint and coating removal is safe for employees and the environment. Spe- cifically designed for plastic media stripping applications, Maxi-Blast systems are simple to use and ex- tremely effective.

Maxi-Blast plastic media is avail- able in a range of hardness and screened sizes to insure fast paint and coating removal for a wide vari- etyofapplications.Maxi-Blast plastic media is also non-abrasive to most

substrates, very long lasting and non-toxic. Waste dust generated from the plastic media blast process is landfill safe.*

Call Maxi-Blast for system rec- ommendations or additional information on the plastic media blast process.

*Toxic paints and coatings will require spe- cial handling. Consult your local authorities on vour soecific aoalication and the aonro-

for mixing and siphoning in closed- head drums, making it easier and more effective to use the drums. The Twis- tork has two unique features: a pat- ented helical mixing blade and built-in siphon tube. These features allow users to agitate and siphon materials from closed-head drums with a single piece of equipment. The Twistork can be

mixed. The built-in siphon tube allows complete evacuation of materials dur- ing or following agitation. The operator simply attaches the siphon tube outlet to a pump to extract the materials, eliminating the messy extra step of removing the agitator from the drum and then inserting a separate siphon tube.
