Keep It Clean

Penray Inc. has introduced its new cleaner for mass air flow (MAF) sensors, part number 2520. While there are other MAF sensor cleaners on the market, this new formula is designed to be plastic-friendly.

It is well known that the delicate fine wire that senses the flow of air entering the induction system is subject to contamination. Dust, oily vapors and other contaminants can collect on this very fine wire, forming a layer of insulation that can cause it to provide inaccurate information to the car’s engine 

management computer.

The attachment point for the mass air flow sensor is usually a small plastic clip. Often aggressive solvents, like typical carburetor cleaners, can damage delicate plastic pieces. Penray 2520 is specially formulated to effectively clean the sensitive component without harming plastics, coatings or adhesives.

Use of Penray’s MAF sensor cleaner is easy. The sensor element is typically accessed by unsnapping a few retaining clamps and lifting off a piece of plastic ductwork to reveal the fine sensor wire. This wire is very fragile; physically touching it is not possible without likely damage. Once the sensor is removed from the duct, several sprays of Penray 2520 will quickly dissolve deposits, so the full length of the wire is once again free of contamination. Newly exposed to the rush of incoming air, the sensor is able to perform its job properly and accurately.

Steel and Plastic

Plasteel wheel weights have passed all OEM-specific laboratory tests and meet the car manufacturers’ quality standards. Tests ranging from rim retention to chemical resistance, the patented Plasteel product line meets all of the requirements.

The plastic shell acts as a buffer between the hard steel core and the softer aluminum wheel. This allows Plasteel weights to go on, and come off, the 

wheel with no damage. The plastic shell also acts as a vibration dampener allowing for easy application.

This product is made of steel and plastic. The steel recycling process involves grinding the products, which will detach plastic from steel. The result is that both materials are recycled, without causing any damage to the environment.

Plasteel has a tight and precise fit against the wheel. There is no gap between the rim and the weight body, which gives Plasteel the look of a traditional lead weight.

Reel It Up in Stainless

Coxreels now offers complete stainless steel reels and powder-coated steel reels with stainless steel fluid paths. Now customers can choose between 316 and 304 grade stainless steels for their fluid paths on many reel types to best match the necessary corrosion resistance of their reel according to the application.

Coxreels stainless steel reel spools and frames will remain 302/304 grade stainless and are optionally available in an electro-polished finish for additional corrosion resistance.

302/304 and 316 are the two primary stainless steel types used in the reel industry. With inherent metallurgical differences, each category offers different levels of corrosion protection and cost. The 302/304 are the most commonly used stainless steels and are found in most applications where corrosion-resistant steel is required, such as food and beverage, sanitation, dairy, pharma, appliances and sinks. 316 grade stainless steel is commonly considered the most corrosion resistance of the stainless steel grades and can be up to four times more resistant to corrosion than 302/304.

 Coxreels offers both grades in several of the larger series. Most series have a default standard, which can be altered through the custom reel process.
