A smoker is a person responsible for operating central heating boilers, the main function of which is to generate heat, process steam and domestic hot water for various types of buildings and industrial facilities. The main tasks of the smoker include: Controlling the operation of flue gas cleaning and discharging devices, Maintaining the constant technical efficiency of boilers and control, measuring, auxiliary and safety devices, Reading and checking indications of control and measurement equipment, Supervision of the technological process ...

 A mobile platform is a lifting device that is most often used for assembly and construction works carried out at heights. Their main task is to lift people and materials for a specific workplace. The platform mechanism enables both vertical and horizontal movement, which is an additional advantage. The average mobile platform consists of two elements: a boom + a work platform or a basket. Why? It is an excellent alternative to fixed scaffolding, which is ...

Cranes are versatile machines used today in a wide variety of industries. The most common application is for handling work. Since this type of work is carried out under the most varied conditions, there are many different types of cranes. A large proportion of these are classified as mobile or portable cranes. How is a HDS crane constructed? An HDS crane is mounted on rails or tyres - depending on the terrain on which the machine will operate. The crane is mounted on a body. . There are several types of HDS crane due to the differences in construction:...

What is welding?It is the joining of usually two or more components. By heating them to a high temperature and fusing them together. These are, for example, metals or plastics. This procedure results in a hard structure that holds the material solidly. During this process, an additional filler (e.g. tin) is often added between the fragments to be joined.What types are there?Laser;Electric;Hybrid;Thermite;Gas;Combining methods.Electric welding:Using a welding machine that bases its work on the phenomenon of the electric arc,...

Cranes are lifting devices, that is, they operate on the basis of a lever mechanism. There are several types of cranes: floating, self-propelled, port, shipbuilding, and the largest and most characteristic - tower cranes. Often they can be seen on city horizons, sometimes even whole "gardens", when very large buildings are being built and still not far from each other. Tower cranes consist of column, cabin, drives, boom, tractor and hook. The column itself can reach up to one hundred meters in height, and the largest crane in the world can reach with its hook more than ...

The job of a scaffolder is nothing more than the assembly and disassembly of building scaffolding. An employee in this position has the task of, among other things, inspecting the structure and dismantling it after the order has been completed, positioning the scaffolding correctly or preparing the site for the required activities. Scaffold assembly is carried out on the basis of technical drawings, the knowledge of which is required by employers. Scaffold erection is also used in non-standard locations such as exhibition halls for advertising or display purposes, and temporary sheds made of scaffolding elements. Usually m...

Depending on their type (model), we can distinguish a few characteristic features which make them capable of handling the warehouse in a different way, according to the manager's expectations. In this text, we will take a look at reach trucks, stacker trucks, lift trucks and variable reach loaders, as well as telescopic handlers and industrial trucks. I invite you to read on.Our starting point will be a discussion of the types of licences issued to operate forklifts, and we will also recall the construction of the most common forklift.Construction of the forklift ...

With the growth of telecommunications and its importance in the industrial world, we are seeing an increasing demand for durable connectors. It is not surprising that companies, in order to guarantee their existence and position in the market, need and reach for professionals in the field of fibre optic installation-welding. What does the ideal installer need and how to become one?A fibre optic welding machine - its operation is the essence and purpose of an installer's existence. Familiarity with fibres, measurement calculations, working environment... all of this affects the end result, but nothing will be done without full knowledge of the device, which unfortunately ni...

 Industrial development and the technological advances made over the last half-century show the increasing importance of goods transport and work carried out using lifting platforms. Fork-lift trucks, which are responsible for transporting goods and organising the warehouse, are entering a new phase of technical evolution, as are aerial work platforms, whose task is to manage hard-to-reach spaces.The distinctive thirty-metre-long arm of the "spider" type of aerial work platform allows its users to rise to the nose cavity of a sphinx, which is in perfect harmony with its undercarriage of gą...

When trying to explain what welding is, it can be said that it is the joining together of two components through the heating and melting of materials, using various techniques. Most of these are based on the generation of an electric arc. MIG/MAG, MMA, TIG are the most popular methods. MIG/MAG methodThese are similar methods, belonging to a type of arc welding using a gas-shielded consumable electrode. In this case, the electrode is a wire which is fed continuously, from the feeder through the welding gun together with shielding gas. This gas is used to prevent preo...
