VCI Shrink wrap protects equipment stored outdoors against corrosion, UV damage
Preserving the quality of excess inventory stored outdoors can be challenging when it involves seasonal equipment, large and irregularly shaped machinery that is difficult to wrap and move. To safeguard their investment, equipment dealers and OEMs are choosing to protect it against corrosion and UV rays with Daubert Cromwell VCI shrink film, now standard in 20′ wide rolls. Heavy-duty, heat-sealable, puncture-resistant VCI shrink film provides dual protection against corrosion and UV damage to metal stored outdoors. It conforms easily around bulky shapes and irregular sizes to prevent moisture, salt, and other corrosion-causing contaminants from depositing on the metal surface. The film is non-toxic, safe to handle, and completely recyclable. Daubert Cromwell manufactures two types of exterior grade VCI/UV shrink film, both designed to prevent corrosion on ferrous/non-ferrous metal: X-O Wrap barrier film Opaque, white, 10 mil thick, standard in 20′ x 100′ rolls. Intended for large and outdoor barrier wrap of construction equipment, aerospace/aviation parts, rental equipment on dealer lots, large and roughly handled assemblies, and export shipments. Flexible shrink film offers a less expensive solution to crating. Corrosion protection lasts up to six months outdoors; 12 months minimum indoors. Premium Metal-Guard® shrink wrap Transparent, 6 mil, Daubert® blue, standard in rolls 20′ x 100′ and 20′ x 165′. The film replaces less-functional, non-VCI tarps and covers. Easy to handle, safe to use conventional heat shrink equipment. Film offers an economical, effective shrink wrap option for in-process components and large parts needing corrosion protection during storage and shipment. Both films are entirely compatible with Daubert Cromwell VCI devices that deliver corrosion protection to specific areas inside the wrapped machinery, such as Daubrite® emitters, foam pads, chips, and VCI paper. When the equipment is ready to go back into service, simply remove the VCI film and any other supplemental VCI devices. No further cleaning or rework is required
Honda Power Equipment launches CO-MINDER Carbon Monoxide Detector for Generators
Technology to be integrated with the full line of honda generator models by end of 2020 Honda Power Equipment, a business unit of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., is taking a bold step in generator safety by equipping all models in its portable generator lineup with CO-MINDER™, a new advanced carbon monoxide (CO) detection system designed to help protect users from injury or death from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. The Honda CO-MINDER™ system continuously measures carbon monoxide levels in the air near the generator and automatically shuts down the unit before detected CO reaches a dangerous level. Honda Power Equipment is first in the industry to commit to installing CO detection systems on its full line of generator models. Millions of customers depend on Honda generators for work, home, and play—tailgating, camping, on-the-job—and for emergency home backup during power outages. Generators must be used outdoors and away from windows and doors to prevent the buildup of carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and deadly gas. Even outdoors, if there is no wind, it is possible for CO to accumulate to life-threatening levels in certain locations, such as under the tongue of a fifth wheel recreational vehicle. Honda Power Equipment will roll out the CO-MINDER™ technology on existing generator models throughout 2020, starting in July with four models—the EU1000i and EU3000iS Super Quiet Series inverter generators for work, home, and recreational applications; the Economy Series EG4000 open-frame unit for home backup and workplace power; and the EB10000 Industrial Series The Brain Behind the Honda CO-MINDER™ Carbon Monoxide Detection System The Honda CO-MINDER™ carbon monoxide detection system incorporates a robust, fast-reacting sensor that continuously monitors for carbon monoxide in the air near the generator. If the sensor detects a CO level at or exceeding 800 parts per million (ppm) at a given time, or an average of 400 ppm for 10 minutes (per Portable Generators Manufacturers’ Association [PGMA] G300-2018 standards), it triggers the generator to shut down automatically. A safety light on the main panel notifies the user that a buildup of carbon monoxide caused the generator to shut down. Honda designed the CO-MINDER™ system to be fast-acting, reducing nuisance shutdowns from false positives. Slower CO sensing systems must respond to dangers at a lower CO concentration in order to react in time to shut down the generator. Lower, temporary concentrations of CO can occur in certain conditions, such as when a gust of wind blows exhaust back toward the sensor, creating a false positive, a shutdown, and an inconvenience to the user. Honda CO-MINDER™ is an improvement over those systems. The Honda CO-MINDER™ carbon monoxide detection system is built with a comprehensive range of safety features. The system is not intended to be overridden or tampered with, and the sensors are designed to work even if they are accidentally blocked. The sensors, with the widest temperature operating range of any existing CO monitors for generators, match the design running temperatures of Honda generators, allowing for use anywhere in the U.S. Both moisture and dust resistant, the sensors are designed for years of use. Further, the generator sensor system automatically tests itself and is equipped with a built-in warning, alerting the user to replace the sensors prior to the end of life. Finally, the sensors conform to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) PGMA G300-2018 quality standard established for carbon monoxide monitors for generators. “At Honda, Safety for Everyone is our commitment to incorporate industry-leading safety features into all of our product lines, whether they’re cars, motorcycles, jets, or outdoor power equipment,” said Will Walton, Vice President of Honda Power Equipment. “Our CO-MINDER™ carbon monoxide detection system is designed to help ensure that everyone who operates a Honda generator can do so with increased confidence, providing users, friends, and families with reliable, portable power and peace-of-mind protection.” Labels on the Honda generator models equipped with the CO-MINDER™ carbon monoxide detection system contain additional safety information, such as an exhaust directional safety warning decal, an anti-tamper message, and information on restarting the generator after an automatic CO-related shutdown. In addition, a portable generator should never be plugged into a standard outlet. A safe connection starts with a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician. The switch cuts off the utility power while the generator operates, and powers only selected circuits. When utility power is restored, the user disconnects the generator from the transfer switch so that power is not fed back to the utility power source (thereby preventing injury to a utility worker). The Honda generator line offers a range of wattages and other innovative features, including inverter technology that provides clean, stable power, protecting against damaging power surges, large fuel tanks, full-frame protection, and electric starters. “As a leader in the portable generator industry, Honda Power Equipment has been highly supportive of the safety standards adopted by ANSI/PGMA G300-2018. In 2020, we are proud to be the industry’s first manufacturer to commit to installing CO detection devices on 100 percent of our portable generators,” added Walton. “CO-MINDER™ technology exemplifies Honda’s corporate commitment to providing industry-leading products and safety features for all.” A Closer Look: First Honda Generators with CO-MINDER™ Carbon Monoxide Detection System Super Quiet Series Models The Honda EU1000i is the perfect solution for scenarios where basic power and ultra-lightweight are required. Weighing in at 28.7 pounds, the EU1000i can easily be carried and conveniently stored (but not operated) in small recreational vehicle compartments. The unit also features a two-tiered noise dampening system that reduces noise to 50 dB(A)—quieter than normal speech, which is approximately 60 dB(A)—at rated load and can run 3.0 to 6.8 hours on a single tank of fuel, depending on the load. The Honda EU3000iS model is one of the smallest, quietest generators capable of starting and running most modern 13,500 BTU rooftop recreational vehicle (RV) air conditioners and other RV appliances. Equipped with a large 3.4-gallon fuel tank and electric-start capability, this model also doubles as a home backup unit to power a furnace, refrigerator,
