BANDAIDS: Good for fingers, not for Compressed Air Systems Hindsight is said to be 20/20 vision. While I reflect back to my previous career as a proprietor of a metal fabrication company, I remember in great detail the errors of my way. Normally, I was the individual that remained at work after hours and through the weekend to finish up the incomplete tasks of the week. One of my dreaded “chores” of the evening was to shut down the compressor system that my shop personnel forgot to address. And then it happens. |

Employee SpotlightInside Sales - Jeffersonville, IN Shelley Ernst has been with IAC for seventeen years. She has always been a part of inside sales and considers herself the mother hen of the sales team. She processes equipment orders, quotations and many other tasks. Shelley loves working with IAC’s vendors and customers and always strives to provide outstanding customer service.Shelley is a HUGE College Basketball fan and of course supports the UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY WILDCATS!!! I think the hardest thing about the COVID19 thing was the loss of college basketball and especially tournament time. Shelley has a WONDERFUL eighteen-year-old daughter, Lily, who survived a drive thru graduation, and finished High School with the status of Valedictorian. She danced for the dance team all four years and was able to enjoy National Tournaments in Florida every year!! Lily is a real trooper, her senior year she did NOT get a Spring Break, Prom or Graduation. She will be moving on to college and attending Transylvania University in Lexington, KY. Shelley is not sure what Lily will be studying just yet, but knows she is going to do great things. |

High Temp Dryer Application in Concrete Block and Brick IndustryRecently, I received a call from a client in the brick and concrete block industry to come out and look at some air quality issues they were having daily. The issue was shutting down production during a very high demand season. They believed their dryer was working but it was not getting the air dry enough. Dry air is critical for their application since they use the air to move powdered materials into forms to create landscape block and bricks, pavers, etc. The moisture in their air was causing the materials to clump together and prevent material from being transferred properly slowing and sometimes shutting down their production completely. While many industries have slowed production during the Covid-19 pandemic, the brick and block industry is busier than they have ever been. The end user told me that they had sold through one year’s worth of product in three months to the major home improvements stores. Needless to say, they could not afford any hiccups in production.
