UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF THE DUST COLLECTOR!

Do you know the purpose of the dust collector?

Within the industrial environment, hygiene must also be one of the professional team's priorities during work. From this concept, the use of cleaning equipment is crucial so that workers can have the highest performance within the industry.

Therefore, it is preferable to use the dust collector. In terms of safety and cleanliness, the dust collector is one of the most important pieces of equipment to have within the company that works with the operation of machines.
When using heavy machinery, it is very common to create dust or dirt. This dust can contain particles that are largely harmful to the operator and people around the machines who need to work on site.

Operation

The dust collector works like a motor with a suction device, which draws the expelled air into a tube that is connected to the motor, called a collection bag. The size of the motor, tube and bag that stores the sucked dirt can vary depending on the needs of the environment.

Typically, the dust collector is designed to accompany the desired machine. With this, the equipment cleaning process becomes easier, providing adequate removal of dirt.

In addition, the collector can be portable, with wheels on the bottom that work to move the equipment between the machines. There are also collectors connected to various machines, maximizing the equipment's efforts.

Dust Collector Applications and Characteristics

Dust collectors can be used in various applications, always with the aim of retaining solid and dry particles, such as in machines, blasting booths, powder painting booths, foundries, cement, among others.

Filters are made of cartridges with polyester elements, providing an extraordinary retention capacity and air permeability, which allows the use of fans with lower pressures than other filter elements. Other tailor-made choices for the consumer can be made available on the equipment, such as colors and dimensions, type of closure and inclusion of cyclones or accessories.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT AN INDUSTRIAL DUST COLLECTOR IS USED FOR?

Industrial areas or with machine operation call for cleaning and safety solutions. One of them is the industrial dust collector, which protects the worker by removing dust from the operation of equipment that contains particles that are harmful to health, ensuring the safety of employees and a healthy environment.

There are several sizes of industrial dust collectors available on the market and their size depends on the machine in question - the larger the equipment, the larger the collector, which is approached directly to the machine and whoever operates it, ensuring that toxic dust does not dissipate to the environment.

HOW DOES AN INDUSTRIAL DUST COLLECTOR WORK
 

The industrial dust collector has a motor that pulls the air expelled by the machine into a tube, coupled to a collection bag. Most industrial dust collectors are directly connected to the machine and, therefore, their efficiency is higher. However, there is a portable industrial dust collector , with wheels at the bottom, allowing the device to be moved from one machine to another.

WHERE THE INDUSTRIAL DUST COLLECTOR DUMPS WASTE
 

It is essential that the industrial dust collector has a bag large enough to store all dust from industrial processes. In some companies, the waste from the industrial dust collector goes into a cupboard, while others choose to change the collection bags regularly. Additional solutions such as the bag filter help to clean the air and minimize the risk of damage to employees leaving.

5 tips for you to use the drill correctly

The electric drill is one of the  equipment most used in works and each model has specific characteristics. To use correctly and safely, the first step is to carefully read the instruction manual of the purchased product.

It is worth noting that the more features the drill has, the more attention will be needed in its use. Also, the instrument needs to be chosen according to the type of work you intend to carry out.

There are several tools that are  similar in appearance and that perform different functions. Good examples are the industrial drill and the “hobby” — battery-powered, multi-purpose and with a quick coupling.

To eliminate doubts, we will present 5 tips for you to use the drill correctly . Read on and learn more!

1. Choose the ideal drill
There are several drill bits specifically designed for drilling in metal, wood and masonry. In this sense, it is necessary to know each model to make the correct choice.

Those with fine points are used for drilling wood, but some have three points. The central tip perfectly locates the center of the hole, preventing it from escaping from the starting point during work. The “flat” format drills are indicated for drilling ½ and ¾ holes.

Straight-cut, cylindrical shank twist drills are best suited for drilling metals. Video drills are ideal for drilling in concrete, brick and stone because they have a blunt and triangular head, piercing the surface due to impact (hammer position).

2. Know how to place the drill
When selecting and inserting the drill, it is critical that the drill is unplugged from the outlet. To insert it, just turn the mandrel (the base of the tip) so that the claws located on the tip are open and, thus, fit the drill to the bottom.

The chuck must be rotated again so that the bit is properly clamped. It is also necessary to consider that the mandrel has three holes around it.

Then, take the chuck wrench (T-shaped equipment), fit it one hole at a time, and tighten. This will ensure that the drill is 100% stuck to the drill, making it impossible for it to come out during use.

3. Perform a test to verify operation
Connect the drill to the outlet. With it lying on a smooth surface, turn it on to watch the drill work. It needs to rotate perfectly and without vibrations on the sides.

If you notice that the drill has lateral movements, it means that it is not secured correctly. So, go back to the previous tip and fit the piece again, watching the rotation to ensure that it worked.

4. Learn to hold the drill correctly
With the hand that you do most activities, hold the handle where the trigger is. This same hand will be responsible for activating the drill, pressing the trigger that makes the engine work.

The other hand is in a U-shape, supporting the front of the machine base. During the process, be careful not to close all the equipment's air vents.

In this sense, the drill support must be fitted and, with the hand that uses the least, hold it. With the other hand in the shape of a C, snap it into the back of the equipment and see if the little finger reaches the trigger button. Therefore, you must apply force in the direction of the drill to facilitate the hole.

• Extra safety equipment
• glove: only needs to be used on the hand that controls the trigger, as the hand that is close to the engine can pull some loose line from the glove;
• mask: protects the nasal passages from dust that comes out of the wall;
• ear protector: reduces the high noise produced by the machine, allowing greater concentration;
• goggles: prevents the eyes from contacting the dust released into the environment.

5. Define the location before drilling
With the location selected for the hole, fit the drill following the safety and use instructions that we presented in the previous topics. Furthermore, it is necessary to tap the drill so that it fits into the wall.

Ideally, choose the non-impact mode to start the hole and then switch to the correct or hammer mode, ending with a deeper hole. Practice brings about perfection and saves you from having to call someone to help.

Difference between hammer and drill
It is important to know the difference between an impact drill and a hammer to ensure they are used correctly.

Hammer drill
This model is ideal for works and renovations. In addition to working with rotation (turning), it also features the hammer function, which, in addition to turning, applies an extra force that helps in drilling. This function helps drill holes in surfaces such as concrete, masonry and stone.

There are types of drills that have a quick change button, which can switch between impact and rotation function. Models that contain this option are very advantageous as they can be used for simpler services.

It is possible, for example, to drill holes in less resistant surfaces (wood, conventional masonry and metal). When the user decides to carry out tasks a little heavier, just switch to the impact function.

hammer
It is also known as a demolition hammer. Widely applied in Civil Construction, it is a crusher model that serves to drill and break higher strength concrete, demolish columns, floors, beams, open gutters for the passage of pipes, drill asphalt concrete, among other functions.

Therefore, major renovations and even small changes to improve the home often require electrical equipment  that is often not part of the Basic Tool Kit of the common citizen or small contractor.

In this context, the ideal is to borrow the machine or buy something that, in addition to being expensive, can be used a few times. Thus, renting the drill is more advantageous, since the consumer is free from possible setbacks, purchase expenses and maintenance expenses .

Tips for drilling a wall correctly

Drilling is one of the most frequent tasks in the home, so we give you some practical tips so that the holes are as you want.

Prevent the holes from being crooked or too large when drilling the walls of your home with these tips that we have designed for you.

Use the drill without problems

First you need to know what type of material you are going to drill. The bit you use and the procedure depends on the material to be worked. For simple jobs, for example porous concrete, a conventional cordless drill is sufficient.

Before drilling, check that there are no electrical cables or water pipes behind the wall.

Always wear protective gloves and goggles when drilling.

Avoid drilling crooked holes by placing the tip of the bit perpendicular to the surface of the material and actuate the tool. Wait for the bit to find a firm base to put pressure on the tool.

If you are drilling on delicate surfaces, such as tiles, stick some tape at the point where you will be drilling. The rough surface of the tape prevents the bit from slipping and making holes larger than you want.

How to drill holes in concrete using black granite or masonry drill bits SDS

Information on drilling in concrete
Drilling masonry and concrete products requires some special tools and accessories. When drilling concrete, brick or block, we are working with a large amount of aggregate, sand and gravel, bonded with Portland cement. To cut this material, we need to use a tapping or hammering motion, as well as a twisting motion. This strong movement separates the grains of sand and attachments, and the rotary movement of the drill pulls the material up the hole.

How to Select the Right Drill and Bit for Your Concrete Drilling Project

HAMMER DRILL WITH GRANITE BIT RAZOR BACK
 
Hammer Drill with Granite Razor Back Bit

Hammer drills are ideal for drilling holes up to ⅝ "in masonry. Hammer drills generally have two functions: they can use the normal rotary drilling function to drill steel or wood, but when you need to drill into concrete, use the function of hammer. The hammer function is driven by two small discs inside the drill, which have very fine serrated edges. As they rotate within the mechanism, the serrated edges provide very fine hammering and twisting motion, making it useful for drill holes no larger than ⅝ ”.

The bits granite Razor Back EAB carbide drills are industrial grade designed for use with heavy hammer drills. These bits are necessary when drilling holes in any masonry material, such as concrete, brick, block, concrete, stucco, and granite tile and pavers. Its precision carbide tips ensure fast starts, and its deep spirals remove waste quickly.

 

SDS ROTARY HAMMER DRILL WITH EAB SDS BIT
An SDS rotary hammer drill is ideal for drilling holes larger than ½ "and up to 1½" in diameter in masonry and aggregate material. SDS rotary drills generally have three functions: a standard drilling function, a hammer function, and for drilling in concrete, a combination of drill and hammer function. This tool is much more powerful than the standard hammer drill mentioned above. It uses a piston-type device that moves the hammering process up to ¾ "and therefore has a much larger throw. Due to this additional power, an SDS rotary hammer drill is the preferred tool for jobs that require drilling. of dozens of holes in concrete.

The SDS EAB bits are indexable carbide tip dual professional quality, designed to fit all SDS rotary hammer drills. Its precision carbide tips are harder and more resistant to extreme loads for a longer life. Unique flute design speeds dust removal and reduces heat build-up and bit wear.

How To Use A Drilling Press Like A Chuck Press

A drill is a device that helps the user to push a hole in a material. The drill press is not as heavy and powerful as the mandrel press, so if you want to use the first as the second, you will need to be very careful with how you apply it. The drill is not designed to withstand as much weight and pressure as the chuck, so unless you handle the drill correctly you will likely damage the press.

• Step 1 - Making the drill on a mandrel
• Step 2 - Making the Supports
• Step 3 - Testing the Press

the drill is a device that helps the user to drill a hole in a material. The drill press is not as heavy and powerful as the mandrel press, so if you want to use the first as the second, you will need to be very careful with how you apply it. The drill is not designed to withstand as much weight and pressure as the chuck, so unless you handle the drill correctly you will likely damage the press. Using the drill as an arbor press needs to be done very carefully in order to avoid this kind of damage.

Step 1 - Making the drill on a mandrel
Before you put the drill bit into a mandrel press, you will need to check the method by which your drill presses the drilled item. The best type of drill to use as a mandrel is the floor mounted press, as it is more stable than the bench press or standalone drill. You'll also need to note how much leverage the drill needs when you're drilling a hole in an item, as this will give you an idea of ​​how much pressure you have available. Once you're sure your drill is stable, you'll need to build some brackets around the edge to give your printer more strength.

Step 2 - Making the Supports
The best method of supporting your printer is to use pieces of iron tubing. You can build your brackets using a simple screwdriver and screw or a drill. Make sure your brackets are connected to a solid floor, then fasten them to the sides of the drill. The brackets must support the weight of the press, so you will need at least 3 pieces of iron, which will be fitted into a triangular shape, with the 2 highest points touching the top of the press and being bolted to the sides of the press , and the third shorter piece, fitting horizontally against the two, and being screwed against the press.

Step 3 - Testing the Press
Your drill should now have enough support to drill a hole in something that needs a mandrel press. Try this out using the lightest piece of metal you need to drill through. Insert it into the bottom frame of your press so that it is in an upright position. You should then take your compression strap and raise it as high as possible before pressing down firmly on the metal. You may need to use both hands to force the lever down as far as possible. When you have done this, remove the metal from the support frame and examine the hole. You should also check that the press itself has not been damaged before continuing to drill holes.

Small drilling presses

A drill is primarily used as a drilling tool, but its other useful features make the machine more reasonable for training. There is a wide variety of accessories for a drill, and these accessories add to the usefulness of the machine. The drill provides the ability to control the diameter, depth and angle of the hole while drilling, but you can also use one for sanding, grinding, shaping and mortifying as well.

A small drill bit is used to drill very small holes with high precision. They are used ​​for soft materials such as gold, wood, brass, etc. Some important points to buy a good small drill are presented below.


Keep in mind a few things before buying a small drill.

• Check the drill concentricity according to your requirement.
• Check the tightening capacity of the punch press. If the drill presses hard on the material, your job will be easier.
• Smaller chucks provide more precision. So try to choose a drill that has smaller, smooth-acting chucks.
• Check motor and shaft speed. The speed provided by the drill must be variable. This will help you to work as per the speed requirement for the material used.
• Choose the drilling machine that has a smooth work surface. Ideally, the work surface is attached perpendicular to the axis of the drill. Don't believe the labeled configuration, check the veracity of the table yourself.
• The most important thing is to check the drill feed. If the feed is hard, it means that there is something wrong with the machine, and you will have problems while working. Feeding should be gentle.
• Machines that have a rack and pinion mechanism for the table provide more precision and smooth table adjustment.

CAMERON 164 SERIES
This small perforation is very common. It has a single speed motor, and the spindle speed can be varied at three different speeds – 9,500, 17,000 and 30,000 RPM. It has a smooth rack and pinion feed and is capable of drilling small 0.002 “To 5/32” holes. The shafts, pulleys and motors are dynamically balanced, which facilitates smooth machine operation. A plastic safety guard is used to position the belt and pulley.

Mini Drill Press
This drill is mainly developed for jewelers. This drill press can also be used for soft materials such as wood, plastics, etc. This machine can drill a ¼ inch hole with ¼ inch brass easily. This drill is designed so that you can change the drill speed to suit your job in seconds. The selling price of this machine is comparatively low.

Dumore Micro Drill
This little bit can drill small size pieces. The height of the punch press is approximately 1 foot. You can drill them with holes smaller than 0.0135”. A rotary control knob is used on this drill. It is used to lift the work platform for the drill.

The maximum speed of this unloaded drill is 17,000 RPM due to its 1/16 hp motor. This drill is best for small precision objects such as jewelry and circuit boards. It can also be supplied with a chuck wrench and product manual with it.

Levin Micro Drill
This is a very special type of drill that can drill small holes less than 1/8” in diameter. This drill press can drill very small parts compared to others. The table of this drill is adjusted by rack and pinion mechanism instead of feather. This property makes it very sensitive. It provides four drilling speeds because 2-step pulleys are used on both the spindle and the motor.

How to Cut Corrugated Fiberglass Tiles

In addition to serving to cover an area, even though they are light, the corrugated fiberglass tiles still allow diffused light to penetrate the area. Their undulation increases your stamina. To cut this type of tile it is necessary to use tools that are quick to make the cut, so that it does not crack or break into pieces. Both hand and power saws, used to cut wood, are also good for fiberglass shingles if you have the right type of saw and you apply proper pressure to the tool.

Step 1
Place one of the tile sheets on the service bench.

Step 2
Stretch the measuring tape from one end of the tile to the part where you want to cut and mark with a pencil. Make enough reference lines to then draw a line over the part.

Step 3
Hold the tile in one hand, not exerting too much pressure, but just enough to hold it in place while cutting.

Step 4
Place the machine saw at the beginning of the line drawn in pencil on the tile. Then turn on the saw and force it forward very slowly, at a steady pace, towards the other end of the piece to start cutting it. Allow the tile to vibrate a little while cutting to avoid cracking.

Step 5
Push the saw in faster as you reach the end of the cut line and then place the sawn piece somewhere.

Step 6
Run the stylus blade through the cut end of the tile to remove fiberglass burrs.

Simple tips for using a concrete vibrator

The purpose of the concrete vibrator is to remove air trapped between the concrete mix and other materials for better strength and durability. Immediately after it is placed, the cement may contain trapped air bubbles, which vary in quantity based on a number of different factors, including slump, placement method, shape size, and amount of reinforcing steel. which is generally used in the range of one to two percent.

Trapped air occurs as a result of the cement paste's inability to seal with the aggregate, causing voids or air bubbles that are not visible to the naked eye. It is not beneficial to concrete and should not be confused with entrapped air, which helps concrete durability in freeze-thaw climates, and is created with an air-incorporating admixture. Trapped air pockets or voids extend throughout the casting and have negative effects on the appearance, strength, and durability of the product.

Fortunately, vibration techniques can be helpful in removing trapped air; however, they must be done correctly and with great attention to detail. The concrete vibrator is easy to use, but it can be more complex depending on the size of the work. Some suggestions on proper vibration are:

• Excessive vibration causes concrete to separate, causing heavy materials, such as aggregates, to sink to the bottom and lighter materials, such as cement paste, to float to the top.
• High-slump mixtures, such as self-lubricating concrete, generally do not require vibration and have a higher risk of segregation if vibrated.
• Contractors should have enough vibration equipment on hand to account for failures during pouring.
• Areas that require the most care and attention include the underside of slabs and around construction joints to prevent leaks. It is particularly important to get to the bottom of the walls to consolidate the wall-to-slab bond, as this is where most leaks occur.

It is important not to use vibrators as a concrete placement tool, as it could create an inconsistent surface. The type of vibrator used must meet the requirements of the concrete and the job site.

The vibration consolidates the concrete in two stages: first it moves the concrete particles and then it removes the trapped air. A good vibration process will ensure that the concrete is finished correctly and has the necessary strength once it reaches its dryness and complete solidification in 28 days.
