Takeaway Truth

I like to mix it up with esoteric blog posts because different content may spark the imagination as well as provide information to those seeking that specific body of knowledge.

Arcon Ring.com

A visit to the website will show you at a glance that this company is here to serve you. You can browse their categories of Retaining Rings: Internal, External, C-Ring, E-Ring, Klipring, and CrimpRing. You can Build Your Own Ring by downloading a PDF file that’s their Catalog which gives the engineering specs needed for Thrust Load Calculations, Materials & Finishes, and a Cross Reference guide. They even have an animated tutorial on how to build your own.

Standard Retaining Rings

They offer standard retaining rings made right here in this country from the two manufacturers still thriving: Rotor Clip and Truarc. The standard retaining rings, stamped when manufactured, are used in bores, bearing shafts, axles, cylinders, gearboxes, and more.

Snap Rings

They have shaped snap rings that are round, square, or rectangle in their inventory so they can ship immediately. These are engineered, dependent on their gap configuration, to work externally or internally. Used for bores or shafts, wire snap rings can be manufactured in a short run if you don’t see what you need. Of course, they can also do a high volume of custom snap rings, and both can be had in a timely fashion.

Circlips

Circlips, or metric circlips, are sometimes known as Metric Snap Rings. These Internal, External, and E-Rings are designed to work in the same applications as the standard snap rings.

One of the best things about Arcon is their willingness to work with the customer, whether that’s on standard inventory items or special designs or prototypes. They’ve got the engineering professionals to help you with your design specifications and to answer your questions. Just contact them using the toll free phone number posted on their website or use the online form. You can even print their ISO Certificate.

Customer Appreciation

Their commitment to their customers is evident. On their website, they say: “Our customers make everything possible. Our job is to make your job easier.” And, in their Corporate Policy, they reinforce that philosophy: “We define success as meeting or exceeding customer expectations, thus building loyalty to the company, and continuously improving the value we provide to our customers.”

Takeaway Truth

Debbie Stabenow, United States Senator from Michigan, said: “At a time when we are losing manufacturing jobs in this country, we should be doing everything we can to help our manufacturers stay competitive. They are the backbone of our economy.”

Koflo Corporation

Koflo, an Illinois company founded in 1983, still produces the highest quality static mixers for the pipeline industry, and they do it at competitive prices. Committed to customer satisfaction, and with an employee base characterized by good old strong American work ethics, they’ve become a global leader in the static mixer industry.

Since Koflo was founded, there have been a lot of changes in the industrial marketplace. They’ve responded to those changes and have stayed at the top of their game. When just in time delivery became required, they increased the inventory levels of not only the standard OEM mixers but also the individual mixer components. They even created an inventory program for OEM customers with specific mixer needs.

In fact, if you need a custom built OEM mixer, Koflo can do it for you. Contact them online or use the phone number on the website. They’ll give you a quote, and it will be at a reasonable cost, built expertly, with quality materials and engineering.

Mixers

Static Mixers use a series of geometric mixing elements within the pipe itself and the energy of the flow stream of the material within the pipe to mix two or more fluids. Koflo has worked over the years to create the best design to achieve ultimate mixing while minimizing pressure loss. Check their website for the many different static mixers they offer.

Stratos Tube Mixers, constructed of the highest quality materials, come in many different lengths and sizes, all dependent on the viscosity and the physical characteristics of the blended products. Their Tube Mixers use either SS TIG welds or silver braze, depending on which tube mixer you need.

Inline Chemical Static Mixing

If you need inline chemical static mixing, then Koflo Chemical Injection Quills are what you want if you’re inserting a corrosive chemical into a pipeline so you won’t damage the side port or pipe wall at the point of injection.

These Chemical Injection Quills disperse the chemical into the center of the pipeline and keeps it away from the sidewalls. It’s no surprise that Koflo is the leading manufacturer of injection quills as well as static mixers and the calibration columns that are used to easily determine pump flowrate.

Takeaway Truth

When you support American industry and manufacturing, you keep America economically strong, and that’s something that’s needed more than ever.
