CEMA Welcomes New Member Cambridge Engineered Solutions to our Association!

It is understood that the methods and designs for cleaning belts are numerous.
This standard has been established to provide a uniform method for determining the application class of any individual belt conveyor. …

TO CEMA
February 19, 2013; CEMA welcomes Woodsage to our CEMA Membership.
We look forward to working with them and having them as part of our Association. Please visit their website at: www.woodsage.com
Woodsage was approached by a material handling company to fabricate 45 roller assemblies. We first machined the assemblies’ sprockets.

Today, let’s talk about “HAVE WE BECOME UNGOVERNABLE?”
A few days after the tragic school shooting in Newtown, I dropped my car off for service and was driven to work by the dealership’s porter. He said we needed to place armed guards in schools, many days before the silent period of great soul searching and original thinking yielded the same question. I sense the porter’s politics are deeply conservative so I asked him “Great idea – how do you plan to pay for it? since you want to reduce taxes even further and want to shrink government to do this, where do you suggest we look for the money?? Well, he didn’t have an answer and agreed that was a problem.
And, that is the problem – …
