Rope and Rope Acess

Rope and Rope Access

What is a Rope?

A rope is a thick string, yarn, metal wires, or strands of other synthetic materials that are twisted together to form a strong and lengthy line. Cord, string, and twine are also constricting similarly.  However, the rope is thicker and stronger than all these.

A rope is having good tensile strength, therefore it can be used for lifting and dragging. A rope is using for countless applications. It is a common object used all over the world. It has different versions. Even the tiny threads are also another form of ropes. I think our daily life is connected to ropes at any single instance.

Rope can be constructed from different materials such as straw, cotton, linen... etc. It can be made from any long and stringy materials, but generally, it is manufacturing from natural or synthetic fibers. Natural fiber ropes are weaker than the synthetic fiber ropes. Because synthetic fiber is having more tensile strength to make it stronger. They are resistant to rotting than natural fiber ropes.

The rope is a part of the rope access system. This technique completely depends on the ropes. Because of the rope access system, the demand for the rope is increased. However, they are using specific ropes for rope access methods.

Rope access technique is a group of activities that are implemented to reach the areas, that are not easy to access. for example, to clean the windows of a big building on the top floors, it is not easy to reach there. So this technique, with rope access technicians, made these jobs easy.

Two rope are using in rope access system. One is used for holding the person and the other one is used to secure the person. If due to any unfortunate happens and the rope is broken, the rope access technician will not fall down, The other rope can protect him. Therefore this method is considering a safe technique.

Silica Gel Moisture Absorbers

Silica Gel Moisture Absorbers

Silica gel is a good moisture absorber. Most of us are already familiar with it because we can see those tiny packets along with many products. Silica, you can get in the form of quartz. Silica gel is a harmless product. Because of this quality, it can be placed with almost all the products.

Silica gel is in gel form. Due to the gel form, it consists of millions of micropores and that work as moisture absorbers. Silica gel packets can be easily placed anywhere to absorb moisture from the surroundings and from the atmosphere. It is actually a synthesized form of silicon dioxide. You can see hard transparent granules of silica gel along with leather items, electronic goods, and food-based items if you observed carefully.

By using as a moisture absorber silica gel is having a good market in the food industry. Usually, silica gel looks like porous sand that can be used in dehydrated and dried foods by keeping moisture away from the containers. It will help to keep dried items as fresh and in this way the life span of the food products can be increased.

The tiny packets of silica gel can be found with many other products. Actually, silica gel is a desiccant, therefore, it absorbs and retains water vapor with ease. In leather objects and food items such as pepperoni, the lack of moisture can easily control the growth of mild and in this way it can reduce the spoilage.

We can see silica gel along with some medicines. Especially if the tablets are placed freely inside bottles, there is a lot of chances to get spoiled easily by opening the bottle cap each time to take tablets. Every time, the air is entering the bottle and it is circulating through the bottle. Due to this air presence, tablets will absorb and hold the water content and this will lead to the changes in the composition of the chemicals inside it.

To avoid such problems, small silica gel packets are placing inside the medicine bottles, especially Ayurveda medicines. Because this will have more water presence.

Cable Theft

Cable theft is happening around the world. It is considering a global issue. However, In South Africa, it is comparatively high and it became a National crisis. The loss is calculated between 5-7 billion Rand (423-593 million USD) per year. As this is a huge amount, it would effect on country's economy and reliability of electrical supply. Stainless steel ties were used at that time only for tying the cables.

Cable theft can interrupt the power supply and it will be last for days and weeks. Out of all these cable thefts, more than 90% are for copper wires. The replacement cost of copper metal is significantly high and it will affect the industry and economy of ordinary South Africans. Band-IT initiated to avoid cable theft by introducing new products.

The government tried its level best to avoid cable theft. But they couldn't find a better solution for this. The economy has fallen down due to the significant losses. They tried to implement Ultra Lok stainless steel ties as frequently as every 150 mm of cable to deter theft. In this way, they increased the security of traditional cable installation.

In August 2015, at a client site, the effectiveness of the Ultra Lok stainless steel ties was proved. The client actually operates in the industry of petrochemical. On their site, earlier it was conveyer belts and it was located in secluded areas. It was difficult to monitor. Therefore it was a major challenge to monitor cable theft also.

After many kinds of research, they reached to Band-IT ties. They have checked various cable ties of Band-IT and finalized with Ultra Lok clamp and installation tool. It was the best suited to the client's projects.

It was a task for Band-IT to reduce cable theft. They provided application tools with Ultra Lok clamps. However, that time another issue has arrived. It was a lack of knowledge to operate the tools by the client site workers. Therefore, Band-IT provided training to the operators that installed the clamps.

Through proper training, young and energetic people can choose their career in this way.

For rope access techniques, special devices are used: rope access equipment. rope access equipment consists of many devices such as semi-static ropes, safety harness kit for protection, carabiners to hook and connect, lanyards to function properly, Pulley to lift...etc. Each device has its own functions.

Rope access equipment kits are available. It will be included all the necessary devices. The rope access method is safe and efficient. Independently certified rope access technicians can join on IRATA family. In the work-at-height sector, IRATA is the sole global trade association.

Rope access makes in a safe and efficient way, difficult-to-reach locations easily accessible. It is a set of methods by using ropes and special hardware equipment for working at heights. IRATA's rope access method is safe to work at height where ropes and devices are used to get access to and from the work position and to be supported there.

Are all rope access jobs the same? No, it's pretty diversified. Rope access equipment is also different for specific works. The work areas will be wind towers, oil and gas industries, window cleaning, welding, insulation, infrastructure/building maintenance. It's important to know that rope access is a way to further trade. 

Ferrule tube and Ferrule printer

Ferrule Tube & Ferrule Printer

Ferrule Printing machines are used to print or mark on the cables and wires. It is an easy method. therefore it becomes popular soon. It is really cost-effective. Even from the small offices and schools to the biggest factories and organizations are using this technique.

Because of the popularity of the ferrule printing machine, there is a lot of manufacturers tried to introduce their own machines. However, the cheap and best id always from CANON and Letatwin products. They are commonly available on all the markets also.

Canon and Letatwin ferrule printing machines are very popular in these industries. They are manufactured from Japan. They have their own standards and they provide accurate results. Sharp and durable prints are offered. Ferrule printers are also called as cable ID printers.

Ferrule Printing machines and PVC tubes

Actually, the marking or printing is not happening on the cables or wires, it will be happening on the ferrule tube only. Therefore, we have to choose the PVC tube that is matching with the size of the cables. To obtain effective cable identification it is more important.

The quality of the cable marking tube is more important. You should mention that you are using ribbon tape while purchasing if it is ribbon tape. Cables and wires are available on various sizes, based on this we have to purchase matching size ferrule tubes. Because while we are inserting cables into the PVC tubes, it should be fit inside the tube for better output.

Sometimes we will get powdery type PVC tubes. The tube will contain powdery substances above it. It can reduce the life of the material because it is not much good product. Therefore, it is important that we have to make sure our ferrule tube is not powdery for your printer to last the distance.

Ferrule Printing Machine

Ferrule Printing Machine

In an office or in an organization, there will be a lot of cable bundles. For each electronic device, at least a single wire is a must to connect to the power supply. But sometimes this will be a mess to find a specific cable or wire. Here is the scope of the Ferrule Printing Machines.

Cable bundles have to be arranged in a proper way. The main connection or big and long sized cables we can arrange by using cable trays or floor trunking. But some electronic device cables are not able to arrange by this method such as computer wires, printer cables, telephone cables, etc. That time we can use ferrule printing machines.

Identification methods for a cable are available in different types. We can use the cable tagging method or cable tying method. cable tagging method is, holding name entered tags in cables. cable ties can be used to tie a group of the same function or area cables. However, this is not a permanent solution like an identification method by using ferrule printing machines.

Now, let's see how this ferrule printing machines are working. The technique is printing or marking on the cables. But it is not easy to print on the cables. However, cable ID printers made this work soo easy. Before doing it we have to consider many features of the cables such as the color, size, operating temperatures, etc.

Cable ID printer is another name of ferrule printing machines.  The actual marking is not happening on the cables or wires. It is happening on the PVC tubes. That is, PVC tubes are used to print on the cables. Cables and wires are inserting into the PVC tubes, and printing above the PVC tubes.

The cable ID printer technique is easy and cost-effective. Therefore it becomes popular quickly. When using PVC tubes, we should check the size and diameter of the cables. For various size cables, various size PVC tubes are available.

Silica and Alumina

Silica and Alumina

Activated Alumina - Water Treatment

Activated alumina is normally used for water treatment. It can remove a variety of substances including excessive fluoride, arsenic, and selenium from the water. The process that is the removal of the fluoride is based on adsorption on the activated alumina surface. Therefore the water treatment process using activated alumina becomes popular.

Before using the calcinated activated alumina for NMW treatment, an initialization process is applied. Impurities are removed from the media or decreased to a level that leaching of trace elements does not occur, during this process. The leaching of the main component, aluminum, depends on the pH and composition of the treated water.

Besides the initialization procedure, the activated alumina requires periodic cleaning with an appropriate regenerating agent in order to remove absorbed substances and to restore the absorption capacity.

Silica Gel - Moisture Absorber

Silica gel is a desiccant it is used to absorb moisture from the surroundings. Because of the high-absorption capacity and inactivity with other substances makes silica gel more favorite product in between the industrial applications. It is cost-effective also.

Tiny silica gel packets can be found with many products such as electronics, medicines, dried nuts...etc. As a desiccant, it absorbs and retains water vapor. In leather objects and food items such as pepperoni, the moisture presence can spoil the products easily. Due to the absence of moisture, the growth of mild can regulate and thereby reduce the spoil factor.

Silica gel packets are a common solution for most of the problems due to moisture presence. You can see silica gel packets along with the boxes of gadgets, shoe boxes and many other objects for daily use. Silica Gel used in the boxes and other products is not for consumption. Hence, you can use silica gel along with your food products that will help to keep your things fresh for a long time by removing water contents.

Activated Alumina and Silica gel

Activated Alumina & Silica Gel

Activated Alumina for Water Treatment

Activated alumina is made by treating aluminum ore (bauxite) and it is acted as a filter media so that it becomes porous and highly adsorptive. It consists mainly of Al2O3. The production process includes calcination at 500°C, which at the same time removes all organic substances. Apart from the main components, some elements may be present. Depending on the source of bauxite, the composition of the activated alumina may vary.

To ensure that no impurities are released to the water during the treatment by using activated alumina, the media used shall be tested according to the standard applicable for leaching tests.

In any case, the release of impurities during the treatment from the activated alumina into the NMW shall not result in concentrations exceeding the limits set in Commission Directive 2003/40/EC [7] or in the absence of limits in that Directive the restrictions set in Council Directive 98/83/EC of 3 November 1998 on the quality of water intended for human consumption [8] or in national applicable legislation.

Silica Gel for Food Preservation

Silica gel is one of the most common moisture absorbers on the market. To absorb atmospheric moisture that exists in the surrounding zone, the packets of silica can easily be placed at the desired location. It is a synthesized form of silicon dioxide. Known as the best moisture absorber.

As you know silica gel is one of the most common moisture absorbers in industrial applications. You are familiar with the transparent granules of silica gel because often you can find it in leather items, electronic goods, and food-based items. Silica Gel is almost harmless. Because of the inactive behavior, the silica gel is found in food products.

The gel form consists of millions of tiny pores that work as moisture absorbers. Normally, silica gel looks like porous sand and in dehydrated and dried foods it can be used to avoid moisture away from the containers. Therefore it is very helpful to protect food products from spoilage.
