carolinamike Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 I was looking for some pictures for my company's new Facebook page today and I ran across these of the old hand pour shop. I thought it would be neat for you guys to see what the options used to be. Hand pouring has come a long way since these days. Do you think my exhaust fan was big enough? On high it would suck the hat off of your head. You can see our machines on the Facebook page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinamike Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yeah Bob thats the pot I built before I bought one from LureCraft, that woven fiberglass is great for insulating. I've actually used it on a couple of heat exchangers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinamike Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Bob, this material is thicker than what they use for fiberglass boats. It is specificaly designed for insulating, I think its mainly used on steam pipes. It comes in rolls that are 4 inches wide, how much do you think you would need for your project?

Smallie Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Mike - The fan looks a lot like the one at my pouring station. I think it is just the right size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinamike Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Smallie, that's actually a barn fan that I purchased from Tractor Supply. The building is around 8X12 so when you turned the fan on you could actually feel it almost creating a vacuum. If the fan was going it would yank the door open when you turned the door knob. If you guys would like to see the production machines, we have pictures up on Carolina Baits Facebook page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
