3 Benefits of Dust Suppression Systems

Posted on January 23, 2020September 8, 2022 by splashme@splashomnimedia.com

Pump repair & fabrication involves many applications, including dust suppression. While dust is present everywhere, it can have negative consequences. Using a dust suppression system to help reduce or eliminate dust is vital for the health of all your employees. Here are the top benefits of implementing dust suppression systems at your industrial site.

1. Cleaner, Healthier Air for Your Employees

Working in a building with poor air quality can lead to serious health problems. If you expose your employees to airborne dust, they may develop respiratory problems. Asthma, COPD, and cancer are just a few of the most common lung diseases caused by unhealthy air. You can reduce this risk by installing a dust suppression system at your worksite. Your workers will take fewer sick days and be more productive on the job.

2. Minimize the Risk of Dust Explosions

Believe it or not, but some types of dust have a reputation for exploding. Depending on the nature of your business, you may unknowingly produce dangerous, combustible dust. Likely culprits include coal, fertilizer, grains, and aluminum. Without adequate suppression, the dust may ignite. Some explosions may destroy entire buildings, while others can injure or kill workers.

3. Reduce Maintenance Costs

Think about the different types of machinery you use and how much it would cost to replace everything. Daily exposure to dust particles may damage your equipment over time. Unless you want to invest in regular maintenance and cleaning, you should use a dust suppression system.

Eliminating dust particles will make your worksite cleaner, healthier, and eco-friendlier. W.P. Law, Inc. can help you choose a dust suppression system that meets the demands of your industry. Get in touch with us to discuss your specific pump repair & fabrication needs.

Surprising Ways Irrigation Can Protect Your Crops This Winter

Posted on January 16, 2020September 8, 2022 by splashme@splashomnimedia.com

Do you need to run your agricultural irrigation system during the winter? While you know the value of winterizing your sprinklers before a freeze, you may not know that your crops still need water during the cold months. Here’s how proper winter irrigation will protect your plants.

1. Water Traps Heat in the Soil

Moist soil retains more heat than dry soil, which is vital for your crops if the temperatures drop below freezing. Watering your crops the day before an expected freeze will reduce the risk of frost. Damp soil insulates the roots and helps to keep your plants stronger in cold weather.

Utilizing frost protection sprinklers during the winter is a proven way to prevent frost injury. These sprinklers not only keep the soil moist, but they also keep the leaves and roots of your crops warm.

2. Roots Grow All Year Long

Even though your crops may appear completely dormant during the winter, you can’t see the activity happening below the surface. Many people assume their plants won’t need any water until the spring. But that’s not the case. Roots grow all year long. If you want your crops to thrive, you need to provide the roots with enough moist soil to survive the cold, dry season.

If it doesn’t rain enough, the soil will dry out. Even evergreens and shrubs lose a lot of water when the temperatures drop. The roots may become weak or brittle, and your crops won’t be as healthy during the spring. You can prevent this from happening by watering your plants at least once a month during the winter.

Moist soil will benefit your crops all year long, and you shouldn’t overlook the importance of irrigation during the winter. W.P. Law, Inc. wants to make sure your plants survive the next freeze. We offer a range of products and services designed to help your crops. Connect with us online to get your agricultural irrigation system ready for winter.

3 Benefits to Digital Pressure Gauges

Posted on January 9, 2020September 8, 2022 by splashme@splashomnimedia.com

Do you wonder if you should switch to digital pressure gauges for your industrial/commercial applications? Going digital has become the trend in a variety of industries and for a good reason. If you haven’t made the switch yet, here’s why you should consider upgrading all your analog pressure gauges to more reliable digital models.

1. Digital Is Easier to Read

How quickly are you able to read your current gauges? If you want easy-to-read displays, digital is the way to go. Digital displays are clearer than analog, and many models even come with a bright backlight. No matter if it’s dark or hazy out, you can read digital displays with ease, reducing the risk of user error.

2. Calibrate with Precision

Proper calibration is of the utmost importance if you want accurate readings. Digital gauges have a reputation for staying calibrated much longer than analog models. Best of all, these modern gauges use a complex software system to handle all calibrations. You can trust a digital gauge to provide more reliable, precise readings.

3. Highly Durable Gauges

What good is a pressure gauge if it can’t withstand an extreme environment? Digital pressure gauges are highly durable and long-lasting. Most models feature a heavy-duty aluminum or stainless-steel body. These casings are capable of withstanding powerful vibrations—you don’t have to worry about cracking. Even in unstable temperatures or hazardous conditions, you can trust your digital device to continue working like new.

Although you will always need a power source to run a digital pressure gauge, the advantages outweigh those of similar analog models. W.P. Law, Inc. can help you find the right gauges for your business needs. Contact us to learn why digital pressure gauges are the best choice for your industrial/commercial applications.
