PRESS RELEASE June 28, 2016. UniquePereny Hi-Tech Kilns add productivity for the foremost producers of proprietary materials that provide secure in package and on package authentication solutions worldwide. This includes applications for brand protection, fuel grade marking, bank notes security and pharmaceutical authentication. HED International, Inc. has provided kilns to reliably increase production of a range of fired powders designed to be applied in ways that identify and or authenticate many consumer products, currency and other everyday items. These kilns have added productivity that has resulted in thousands of dollars of more product per kiln load. HED engineers form partnerships with all clients to increase their productivity, profit and find solutions that fit.

Press Release July, 2016. TDDS Transdermal Delivery Systems are being successfully developed, scaled up and produced by pharmaceutical firms and the Federal Drug Administration on Procast and Labcast Tape Casting Machines supplied by HED International, Inc. The TDDS patch and tape products are branded drugs and generics which avoid first pass metabolism which can result in greater drug bioavailability. Procasts precision controlled casting, polymer web conveying and convection drying capability enables the integration of adhesives and drug components into a single, simple drug delivery system. Lamination of the polymer carrier and back up strips are done ready for die cutting and packaging. HED has the proven experience, product quality and service needed to successfully develop and commercialize many engineered biomedical materials and products.

A Major U.S. Aerospace Contractor has selected HED International to supply the same UniquePereny atmosphere tight integral heat treating equipment previously supplied. Their application requires the utmost in dependable precision (+-10C) and proven efficiency (300 to 1500 lbscycle) recognized as the decided advantages of these HED process heat systems. These furnace designs incorporate automated loading and unloading, controlled heating and cooling under pressure atmosphere conditions. Delivery is scheduled to begin in early June of 2016.

Ringoes, NJ, May 25, 2016 A Procast Tape CastingCoating Machine designed and manufactured by HED International, Inc. will be used by a leading contract research and development group for the production of coated, layered cast tape and film produced to precision tolerances up to 48 (1.22 Meters) wide for aerospace applications. The machine design enables the use of a wide range of feed material composition, viscosity and metering systems including doctor blades, meier barsrods, rolls, and slot dies. Delivery of the tape caster is scheduled for July, 2016. HED Engineers and scientists form long term partnerships with clients to bring together many years of expertise in material preparation and fluids designed for advanced cast and coated products.

This system features UNIQUEPERENYs non-proprietary software specifically designed to integrate kiln control providing a high level of automation and ease of use. An industrial PC with touch screen serves as the primary operator interface to the kiln. The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) uses discrete and analog IO modules for control of the kiln independently of the PC. TCPIP Ethernet communication serves as the network interface between the PC and PLC and provides simple integration into existing or future plant systems. The PC is also equipped with a modem for remote monitoring and trouble shooting of the kiln control system.

The UniquePereny Pro-Melt series of resistance heated nonferrous melting and holding furnaces have the technology to help you meet the challenge!Designed and built using the highest quality materials and constructed to offer low maintenance and long life. These furnaces incorporate many standard features including:High Efficency Low Cost OperationAutomatic DayNight Temperature ControlFully supported, Free Radiating heating elementsUniform heating from all sides of the crucibleSwinging cover to minimize heat lossEasy to maintain Quick-Change heating panels

The HED International Lab-Cast Model TC-71LC Tape Caster has been designed specifically to meet the needs of the small developer and is ideal for lab scale studies. Lab-Cast is simple to use yet sophisticated enough to provide a versatile research and development platform. This system allows developers to have a natural transition to HED Internationals PRO-CAST Series of Tape Casting Machines, when a full-scale production system is required.

Since its introduction more than three decades ago, the UNIQUE Envelope Kiln has proved its practical usefulness in the firing of the worlds most valued ceramic articles.Available in a full range of sizes up to 120 cubic feet, this patented kiln design provides for high production in a minimum floor space. Special sizes and larger units are available as custom models.Standard models are available for 2000F for lower decorating firing, or 2350F high fire.The Envelope Kiln rolls on tracks to envelop ware placed on either of two stationary beds. This design innovation, with completely accessible fixed beds, permits rapid loading or unloading of one bed while the other is being fired.

UNIQUEPERENY Rotary Tube Furnaces are specifically designed for continuous, dynamic drying, decomposition, sintering, calcining and other heat treatment of powders and granules at temperatures up to 3100o F (1700o C). These furnaces are routinely operated in air or other atmospheres to process traditional and advanced materials such as ferrites, titanates, nitrides, metallics, aluminas, carbides, catalysts, reducible oxides and minerals.The Rotary Tube Furnace offers advantages over static or batch processes because material flows freely through a sloping, heated rotating tube where it is tumbled constantly, causing uniform heat treatment of every particle. Both the slope angle and the rotation speed may be varied to provided a wide range of material throughput rates. Indirect heating and multiple temperature zone control provide the means to adjust the temperature profile of the process. Electric or gas fired production and pilot scale models are available with ceramic or metal alloy tubes with atmosphere capability and various materials handling accessories
