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.

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.

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.
