TRANSOR FILTER is at IMTS!

Transor will once again participate in the 2010 IMTS exhibition at Chicago’s McCormick Place from September 13 through the 18th. Located in the Grinding Pavilion (booth N-7417) Transor is located in the heart of those OEM’s that produce tool & cutter grinders.

Transor will display systems that range from one that is designed for a single machine to a cellular, centralized system. Also on display will be a fully automated system that includes an automatic sludge handling device. Also displayed will be a powerful pre-filter for magnetic materials.

Located next to Anca, attendees will be able to see the advantages of One Micron filtration at work. The company’s carbide reclamation program will also be highlighted.

TRANSOR FILTER And TUNGCO Reach Agreement on Recycling Carbide for Customers

Transor Filter and Tungco (Madisonville, KY) have reached an agreement to introduce Transor customers to Tungco’s tungsten reclamation services. Tungco has been in the recycling business for over 40 years and has earned a reputation for service. Ryan Sizemore, Tungco Procurement Officer, commented on building a relationship with Transor customers. “Our experience is that the Transor system yields a higher percentage or tungsten, and of course, greater return for the customer.”

Transor President Irv Kaage pointed to Tungco’s quick turn-around of material analysis and, unlike other recycling firms, Tungco’s policy is upfront payment of a percentage of the estimated return. He noted that this can add real value to Transor’s existing customer base, as well as help future users see another ROI benefit in purchasing a Transor system. “This past year has been a challenging one and has forced companies to look at what they do and how they do it,” stated Kaage. “We are pleased to have Tungco as a preferred partner because of their reputation for the efficient recycling of carbide for hundreds of customers nationally and the many benefits they can deliver for Transor users.”

TRANSOR US-1 EDM Dielectric Oil Becomes New Standard

Transor Filter announces that their US-1 dielectric oil is a primary alternative for the recently discontinued ExxonMobil Norpar™ 15. ExxonMobil recently announced that they would cease manufacturing and distributing their Norpar 15 on June 1, 2009. The Norpar 15 product, along with Transor’s US-1 were on the approved list of EDM oils that could be used in Transor Filter Systems.

“The Transor US-1’s formulation is designed to meet the specifications and performance characteristics of Norpar 15”, stated Irv Kaage Transor President. The advantage of switching to US-1, Kaage continued, is that current users have found that it can be mixed with Norpar 15 so that existing Norpar 15 users will not be required to purchase new oil for their operation or require disposal prior to starting up with US-1.
