At Busada, we often work with schools and colleges in assisting them with their physics projects. A teacher at a prominent High School in Westchester, NY wanted to teach her students the principles of pneumatic conveyance. They 3D printed some micro-carriers and...
Butyrate (CAB)
At Busada Mfg, we take pride in our extensive experience and expertise in bending technology. Since our incorporation in 1952, we have perfected the art of bending a wide variety of materials, creating bends in sizes ranging from 0.125" OD to 10" OD. Our capabilities...
Bergamo, Italy, a city rich in history and culture, holds a significant place in the annals of Italian heritage. Nestled in the Lombardy region, Bergamo boasts a captivating past that dates back to the Celts and Romans. It played a vital role in trade and commerce,...
The use of transparent tubing in pneumatic conveying systems for paper cups offers numerous advantages, particularly in terms of visibility. Clear tubing allows for easy monitoring and inspection of the conveyed cups throughout the entire process. The transparency of...
When Bayer came to us with a rush project for a children's learning display we faced a daunting challenge. We needed to take clear, transparent CAB 4" OD tubing and bend it into complex 3D shapes. This was necessary to conserve space and allow the display to break...
Plastic Fabrication Company Uses Clear Plastic Sheet for Custom Acrylic Fabrication Occasionally our customers need fabricated sheets for their product. Dominion Energy recentlyneeded a new wet calibration rig to replace a dirty old yellowing acrylic rig. The project...
Building a Flow Loop with Clear Rigid Plastic Tubing and NPT Threads We were recently contacted by a Ph.D. student working on a multi-phase flow problem. The application called for a clear rigid tubing flow loop that would maintain a circular shape under pressure with...
Butyrate, being a cellulosic, is friendly to most fabrications. The days are past when one could purchase butyrate fittings such as elbows and tees, nevertheless, butyrate pipe can be connected to metal or PVC pipe by means of compression fittings, slip fit and O-ring...
It happens a lot; don't feel bad. You may not know the exact angle, nor the radius of the bend; you just know that you need the exact replacement fast. This blog will explore several ways to identify your bend, but we start out with the most painless way devised by...
We now have an option for a hard-baked static dissipative coating for our transparent tubing. Most plastics do not give up their electrons easily; they are insulators. And since they are insulators, they are poor conductors of electricity. Thus, electrical charges can...
We made these P traps for HVAC equipment. We considered smoke gray, with butyrate or PETG tubing. In the end, we went with a .5" OD x .060w, clear transparent butyrate tube. Got to admit, this was a challenge to get this tiny multi-bend right. The plastics tubing will...
Frequently we are asked to make UBends (180°) bends. In a UBend, the offset is twice the radius, and keeping the offset is the trick. In thermoplastics bends the tubing tends to pull in or out (memory) and work as a thermometer with radiant heat. Our process minimizes...
Our customers often ask us what grades of USFDA or NSF compliant tubing that we extrude for food contact. Generally, for caps, closures, and cups, FDA has not established compliance. Thus, UV stabilized butyrate (our formula 576E) is considered the standard. However,...
Busada transparent sleeves can be coupled in many ways: solvent bonding, solvent spot welding, axial slit and clamping, radial slit and clamping, and heat expansion. In situations where attractiveness surpasses utility, we recommend small conical set screws. They are...
