IN THE NEWS
 
New Diesel Fuel Hits the Market


According to Automotive Fleet.com, by 2007, one new diesel truck will emit just one sixtieth of the tailpipe pollution as one produced in 1988. A decade in the making, the reduction takes credit from a combination of government initiatives; specifically, imposed improvements in engine technology, and a new ultra-low sulfur fuel - which is now available nationwide

The fuel, already being consumed by over 8 million diesel-powered buses and trucks in the United States alone, is 97% cleaner than the original fuel its replacing.

Even though the new diesel fuel can only account for a 10% reduction in total fuel pipe emissions, in combination with the new line of diesel engines hitting the road, total tailpipe emissions can be reduced by 95%, according to the National Resource Defense Counsel (NRDC).

Moreover, owners of existing diesel trucks can also benefit. Thanks to the new fuel, they now have the option to install emission controls that can reduce their total soot pollution by up to 90%.

Hot Tips for Cold Weather

Don't let the weather dictate your compressor's performance. VMAC manufactures a variety of accessory products designed to keep your compressors in top operating condition.

· System De-Icer

12-volt insulated rope heater made to work with VMAC Air Systems and designed to prevent the freezing of the system pressure line and regulator.

· Eliminator70 Air AfterCooler

Lightweight and compact, the AfterCooler eliminates up to 80% of moisture from the air line, so your tools don't freeze up. Equipped with a powerful 12-volt fan and a moisture filter assembly that automatically drains, the Eliminator70 is the perfect compliment to any truck mounted air system.



VMAC To the Rescue!

Sauber Manufacturing's Assembly Shop relies on air. So when Sauber's shop air compressor went down, they had a problem. "We were having trouble with the compressor in our 11-bay Assembly Shop. Then, one day, its completely down." As a result, Sauber was looking at a 3-day turnaround for a replacement unit, and a shop full of paid employees with no air power.

Enter their Demo Truck.

Outfitted with the VR70 UNDERHOOD Air Compressor, Sauber's 5.9L Dodge demo truck powered up the tools and the shop was up and running. "We ran a supply line from the truck to the supply line in the shop and waited to see what happened - when we flipped the switch, it powered up the air system and everyone when back to work. The unit ran flawlessly for three, 9 ½ hour shifts. All the air tools were back in full function."

PEOPLE & PLACES
 
Optical Comparator


When pumping 150 cfm through a tool the size of a pop can, you want "peace-of-mind" knowing your equipment's up to snuff. VMAC's Quality Control is on top of this, ensuring every unit meets the highest standard of excellence. To do this, they need the help of state-of-the-art equipment. State-of-the-art equipment such as the Tesa 300 Optical Comparator.

Here's how it works. Al Gregory in Quality places a standard quarter-inch bolt on the Optical Comparator glass table. On the high-resolution display screen, Al sees a slight depression in the bolt's thread that doesn't match up to the engineering's specifications. The depression is 1/1000th of an inch. That's the beauty of the Optical Comparator, it can display an object thirty times smaller than a human hair, all on high res digital video. With equipment like the Optical Comparator, Quality ensures every design that comes out of VMAC Production matches every component coming out of Engineering - no matter how small. VMAC assures quality in its products, right down to the 1/1000th of an inch.
