Manufacturers Donations to Haiti
Several manufacturers are providing more than monetary donations to help the Haiti earthquake relief efforts. Health-care products, generators and solar lights are among the many items pouring in from manufacturers to the ravaged nation.
Ecolab Inc. will try to assist with sanitation concerns in Haiti by contributing more than $500,000 in product donations and an employee matching gift program, the company said Jan. 18.
“Ecolab’s cleaning and sanitizing products, including waterless hand sanitizers and surface sanitizers, are critical during disasters such as this,” said Douglas Baker Ecolab’s president and CEO. “The extraordinary impact of the earthquake’s devastation is a reminder of our common humanity. Ecolab, along with our global associates, is pleased to be able to send our products and dollars to provide assistance to the people of Haiti.”
On the same day, pharmaceutical manufacturer Abbott Laboratories said it would provide $2.5 million in grant funding and donations of critical pharmaceutical and nutritional products to humanitarian aid organizations.
Some Abbott pharmaceutical and nutritional products already are in use throughout Haiti because of the company’s prior work with humanitarian organization Direct Relief International to prepare for natural disasters. These items include antibiotics, rehydration solutions and nutritional products that are in critical need following the earthquake in Haiti.
Honda will donate more than $300,000 to the Red Cross, as well as portable generators, water pumps, and other company products for use during humanitarian relief and recovery efforts in Haiti.
Solar lighting manufacturer Sol Inc. is working with government agencies to transport solar lights from Florida to Haiti, the company said Jan. 15. The total donation is expected to reach more than $400,000 with assistance from suppliers.
The company has also dispatched a 44-foot catamaran donated by a Florida entrepreneur Deane Blazie to provide ground support and logistics in Haiti.

How are Aluminum Handle Hardware Made
How are Aluminum Handle Hardware Made. Aluminum Handle Hardware parts are common in the manufacture process and the production of equipment and homes. Hardware parts from aluminum handles or brackets are produced near net shape, which means it can be produced without any welding pieces or assembly pieces. An aluminum handle is stronger than a weldament. This makes Aluminum handle hardware very easy to use, light weight and at the same time strong. They are a common sight in equipment, household door knobs, stops, shower knobs, cabinets, bolts, garden furniture, locks, lifts, kitchen utensils, sliding doors window handles and almost everything you can see at home.
Aluminum handle hardware can have hole casts to save costs of having to save costs of having to machine the holes. Aluminum handle parts can be stronger than steel welded parts in certain cases for aluminum handle hardware are designed to strengthen the ribs.
Aluminum handles hardware have several different types to choose from such as oval, folding, standard, positive locking, square, extruding and wire. They can be anodized or power coated. Aluminum hardware handles are made through the process of die casting, wherein addition of decorations and designs are a lot easier compared to steel, brass and other metals.

Die Casting Materials
Materials that are used for casting and used in conjunction of die cast molds come in many forms. And the choice of which materials to use will depend on the manufacturer and will depend on the characteristics of the material alloys. Each of the following materials and alloys has its own properties and benefits, and manufacturers often choose from among these materials and weigh the pros and cons of the alloys and materials.
The main materials or alloys used include zinc, aluminum, and magnesium, copper, lead and tin. The alloys and have its own set of advantages and benefits when used and it is imperative that industrial manufacturers should know what makes one alloy or material superior to the next one. In terms of the material that is easiest to cast then that material is zinc. This material is known for their high ductility, for high impact strength and will be known for its economy. The aluminum material is known for its light weight and known as the material that with high dimensional stability when used for complex shapes and thin walls. The material is known to be reliable against corrosion and has good mechanical properties.
The magnesium is the alloy that is easiest to machine and known for its excellent strength to weight ratio. Copper is another material used in conjunction with the die casting molds and the alloy form copper is known for high hardness and a better material that can withstand corrosion. Lead and thin are two other alloy materials used when casting.

Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Audio Speaker Parts vs Gravity Casting
Pressure Die Casting Aluminum Audio Speaker Parts vs Gravity Casting. Pressure die casting is a manufacturing process used to create aluminum brackets, parts, chassis, audio speakers and more. These metal parts can be seen almost anywhere and everywhere, making them integral in our day to day lives. Pressure die casting initially melts the aluminum metal. The molten metal is then injected into a mold under great pressure. Afterward, it is set aside to cool for a while. When the Mold is opened, it reveals the finished die casting. Because of this fast and easy process, thousands of parts can be made every day.
Gravity casting uses the similar manner as sand casting. It uses the force of gravity rather than high pressure to fill the mold with the molten aluminum metal. Gravity casting is most fitting for mass production and full mechanized casting. One advantage over gravity casting is that they usually give a better surface finish and mechanical properties, due to its slower cooling rates compared to pressure die casting.
Compared to gravity casting, pressure die casting requires less machining. Die castings can cast holes depending on how and where you want it. Die castings give closer and more accurate dimensions, plus it can be produced at a larger scale, with less labor costs per casting.

UPS Expands to China
UPS plans to significantly increase its global service parts logistics (SPL) network by establishing 101 new field stocking locations (FSLs) in China.
With the expansion, UPS will cover 89 cities across China with more than 110 bonded and non-bonded FSLs. Companies in a variety of industries that require same-day and/or next-business-day delivery of critical service parts will be served by UPS’s expansion. Examples of these industries include high-tech/electronics, medical equipment and aerospace.
The FSLs in China, like their counterparts across the globe, will utilize the UPS Post Sales Order Management System (OMS), a Web-based system that enables companies located anywhere in the world to assess their critical parts inventory, determine the most optimal routing strategy to meet customer needs, place orders online and track parts from the warehouse to the end user.
In 2009, UPS announced the expansion of its global FSL network in India and the opening of a new customer support center in the Philippines to meet SPL needs in Asia.
UPS’s SPL network features more than 950 FSLs in 120 countries. This global footprint, which is fully integrated with the company’s global transportation network, helps enable companies to locate their products closer to their customers and suppliers. UPS’s SPL services include: critical parts order fulfillment for inbound inventory, warehousing and management of critical parts worldwide; returns and recycling management; and parts and inventory planning.
