Fire units at the 2015 Rockford Air Show

This is from Steve Redick:

I captured a few shots of the pyrotechnics during an air show at Rockford. They simulated an attack run using an A4 aircraft, which led to a small brush fire. I managed to get some photos of the fire department responding. Since the action was several hundred yards away, the images aren't perfectly clear, but they're still pretty fascinating.

Plastic Pipe Hauling Machine

The Plastic Pipe Hauling Machine, also known as a haul-off machine, is a critical component in plastic pipe production lines, designed to continuously and automatically pull various plastic pipes after they are extruded, cooled, dried, and printed.
1. Caterpillar Haul-off Machine
This type of machine uses caterpillar rubber blocks or belts to grip and pull the pipes. It is available in multiple configurations, such as 2-claw, 3-claw, 4-claw, 6-claw, 8-claw, 10-claw, and 12-claw models. The pipe diameter range varies from 16mm to 2000mm, depending on the model. For example, the 4-claw model can handle pipes with a diameter of 50-250mm, while the 12-claw model is suitable for pipes with a diameter of 800-1600mm.
Product Features: The caterpillar haul-off machine ensures uniform traction force distribution, preventing pipe deformation and thickening the pipe wall. It features stepless speed regulation, frequency control of motor speed, and independent motor control for each section, allowing precise adjustments to the production process.
Widely used in the production of various plastic pipes, including PVC, PE, PPR, and HDPE pipes. It is suitable for both small and large diameter pipes, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
2. Belt Haul-off Machine
This machine uses rubber belts to pull the pipes. It is typically used for small diameter pipes and can be configured with 2 belts. The pipe diameter range is usually 16-63mm.
Product Features: The belt haul-off machine offers smooth and reliable performance, especially for small diameter pipes. It features high friction coefficient rubber blocks for better grip and traction. The machine is easy to operate and maintain, with a compact structure and beautiful appearance.
Suitable for the production of small diameter plastic pipes, such as PVC pipes for water supply and drainage systems. It is also used in the production of plastic profiles and other extruded products.
3. Rubber Block Haul-off Machine
This machine uses rubber blocks to grip and pull the pipes. It is designed for various pipe diameters and can be customized according to specific requirements. The machine features a wide range of applications and is easy to use.
The rubber block haul-off machine provides stable and reliable traction, ensuring consistent production quality. It is equipped with high-quality materials and components, such as ABB or Japan Hitachi frequency governors, East battery digital tachometers, and French Schneider AC contactors, buttons, and indicator lights.
Application Scenarios: Used in the production of various plastic pipes, including PVC, PE, and PPR pipes. It is suitable for both small and large diameter pipes and can be used in a wide range of industries, such as construction, water supply, and gas pipelines.
