Forging Specialist

Reading time:

When looking for a Forging Specialist, there are many things you should be checking and looking for.

In this blog, we will help you find the right forging specialist to suit your requirements.

First of all, Forging is a skill that has been used since the time of the ancient Mesopotamians. It takes lots of time, practice and training to become a forging specialist.

Forging is basically a manufacturing process that involves the shape and moulding of metal, using various techniques and compressive forces. A blow will be delivered by hammer or die to create the desired shape.

A forging specialist will follow a process that creates a stronger part than any other metalwork process, When forging is carried out it will take advantage of a metals natural grain flow, it will shape the grain flow and conform to contours of each part provided.

A forging specialist should be an expert in all types of forging such as hot forging and cold forging, also warm forging, open and closed die forging.

Forging can be dangerous as a forger will be working with sharp metal and very hot temperatures, the tools can burn a forger and cut them if safety measures are not followed, which is why finding a good forging specialist is a must.

A forging specialist will need many tools to be able to carry out the job correctly, these include a forge, anvil, hammer, chisel and tongs, these are just the basic tools there are many more that will be used for more specialized forging.

To become a forger or to get into the trade you could do a university or college course, an apprenticeship or be trained on the job. But it will take years of training and hard work to become a forging specialist and be at the top of your game.

Metal Recycling

Reading time:

Recycling figures in the EU are at about 40%. Italians are very proud of the recycling they do; it is known as Riciclaggio Metalli by the Italians. 

each type of rubbish is split up into its own colour-coded bag, it will then be picked up at the roadside and put into a designated bin. 

Blue bags are for plastic (also known as plastic) and metal (also known in Italy as metallic) brown bag for paper and cardboard and white for organic waste and a yellow bag is used for all other rubbish. 

Recycling bags

The separation of metals is key and used in recycling plants, they are used to recover metals that are present in materials. 

Metal recycling (Riciclaggio Metalli) can separate ferrous metals using magnetic pulleys, magnetic drums and magnetic belt separators. 

Nonferrous metals can be separated with machines called Eddy current separators. 

Separation of stainless steels is separated by Bunting HISC and SSSC. 

As well as Riciclaggio Metalli (recycling metal) Italy has the utmost respect for air pollution and climate change, so they are pushing hard to reduce black carbon emission, mainly in the transportation sector. They have something called the sustainable mobility fund which encourages Italians to move in a sustainable way such as walking, biking and taking public transport rather than using a car. 

Recycling in general in Italy is very complex, in fact, they actually give out an eight-page booklet explaining the dos and don’ts. As we mentioned before there are various coloured bags for it, and to confuse things even further each bag is collected on different days. But I guess we should really think about the following suit as Italy is at the top of its game for waste recycling.

HSE Pallet Racking Inspection

Reading time:

It is a warehouse owner’s responsibility to maintain and check the safety of the racking being used. A checklist is used to identify if there are any racking issues or a high risk of racking collapse.

All components of the racking system are inspected, the beams, braces, frames and accessories such as racking protectors. Preventing disasters or serious injuries from rack collapses is the main priority of racking inspections. A traffic light system is used to describe the risks identified, these are then put into an order of priority with green being the lowest and red the most serious.

As part of the inspection, recommendations will be made on how to avoid issues in the future. Products such as pallet racking protectors can be installed to prevent damage from forklift trucks and other warehouse machinery. This is a way of saving on future repair bills, as these products are much cheaper than replacing the racking itself.

It is advised a full expert inspection should be carried out every 12 months at a minimum. Having an internal member of staff to manage the inspections on a weekly or monthly basis is advised. If a problem is found, then it should be reported to this member of staff. Ensuring all staff are trained on the importance of racking safety will help with any wear and tear which may occur on the racking.

As well as pallet racking other warehouse storage systems must be inspected. These include systems such as shelving and mezzanine floors, all which form part of a storage system for warehouses.

Usually, a racking inspection report includes a fully detailed analysis of the warehouse’s storage system. Any damage is highlighted using the traffic light system, based on these findings a list of recommendations will be presented and any working practices which must be followed.
