20100005849TOOL HEAD ASSEMBLIES FOR PRESSING DEVICES - A tool head assembly for a pressing device includes a tool head frame having a first die and a moving ram having a second die operatively coupled to the moving ram. The moving ram is movable along a gripping stroke between an open position and a closed position. The second die is configured to hold a work piece between the second die and the first die when the moving ram is in the closed position. The tool head assembly also includes a latch mechanism, wherein the latch; mechanism is actuated to release the moving ram from the open position to the closed position to thereby hold the work piece within the tool head assembly.01-14-2010
20100107905ELECTROHYDRAULIC PRESSING DEVICE HAVING REMOVABLE HOSE - A pressing device includes a work head having a work head body holding a tool and a mating end. The pressing device includes an actuator having an actuator body holding a hydraulic pump that is operable to drive the tool. The actuator has a mating end. The pressing device includes an interconnect assembly including a hydraulic hose having first and second couplings at both ends of the hydraulic hose for mating with the mating ends of the actuator and the work head, respectively. The interconnect assembly is removable and the work head is configured to be directly coupled to the actuator.05-06-2010

20090308284System and Method for the Production of Alpha Type Gypsum Using Heat Recovery - The present invention relates to a system and associated method for the production of gypsum in manufacturing plant. More specifically, the invention relates to the production of alpha-type gypsum in a gypsum board manufacturing plant. The system yields increased efficiencies by capturing heat given off during processing steps and using that heat to reduce the energy needed for calcination. The invention finds particular application in the production alpha-type gypsum. The present invention is described in greater detail hereinafter in conjunction with the following specific embodiments.12-17-2009
20100055431Plastic Coated Composite Building Boards and Method of Making Same - Disclosed are composite building boards and associated manufacturing methods. The composite boards may include, for example, one or more slurry layers with embedded fibrous mats. An exterior plastic coating is mechanically adhered to the underlying slurry layer. The plastic layer chemically bonds and cross-links with polymer additives within the slurry layer. The result is an integrated polymer matrix with greatly improved durability and surface strength.03-04-2010
20100170155System and Method for Using Board Plant Flue Gases in the Production of Syngas - Disclosed is a method for utilizing the by-product of a board plant in production of a synthetic gas (referred to as “syngas”). The syngas produced by way of the present invention can then be utilized within the board plant to, thereby, reduce the amount of natural needed. The method utilizes the heated water vapor (H07-08-2010
