"We''re seeing opportunity in all these markets, as opposed to aerospace, which is already well served," Thorne said. Coastcast is probably the largest U.S. producer of titanium club heads today. Last year, it delivered about 1.25 million finished heads to various club manufacturers, down somewhat from the previous year. Despite the exodus of casting overseas, Bryan Rolfe, vice president of sales and business development, said Coastcast (which also produces stainless steel heads) was "absolutely" committed to maintaining its role in multipleheaddrillpress North America and was working to "wring the labor out" of its cost structure. For utilization and geographic location, in its October Offshore Rig Locator, Offshore Data Services shows 290 jackups working, out of a total worldwide fleet of 387 rigs, for 75% utilization, down 5% from last year''s 79%. The multipleheaddrillpress U.S. Gulf of Mexico had 108 jackups working, of a total 139 available, for 78% utilization. The second most active area was the Persian Gulf, with 32 of its 46 rigs active. Asia accounted for 66 rigs--in India, 22 units were all active; SE Asia had 18 of its 26 rigs working, and the Far East area had 16 of 18 jackups contracted. West Africa had only 12 of its 26 rigs working. Other active multipleheaddrillpress areas were: Mediterranean/Black Sea, 12; the Caspian, 7; Mexico, 6; Venezuela, 6; the Red Sea, 7; and Brazil, 5. Overall size with motor is 5.7 X 6.1 X 13.3 in. The 6.5-hp Oillube air compressor is ideal for heavy-duty use with most air tools. The compressor has a 60-gal. vertical tank that provides large air storage in little space. Its 2-cylinder pump has cast-iron sleeves and automotive pistons and rings, thus it consumes less oil. An aluminum-finned crankcase and balanced flywheel provide improved heat dissipation. The Model 652A Quantum Plus heat pump is designed for replacement and new construction applications. Using non-ozone depleting Puron refrigerant, this 12-SEER heat pump offers dependability, efficiency and flexible installation. A coil guard provides additional protection from rocks and debris. An accumulator ensures that oil-rich refrigerant flows through the compressor to improve compressor lubrication and service life. multipleheaddrillpress The compressor features such safeguards as a loss of charge switch and a discharge temperature switch. An air management system, discharge muffler and sound shield multipleheaddrillpress help minimize noise. Bryant.
