Flexible Form-A-Funnel Molds to Meet Needs
New Pig Corporation introduced the Form-A-Funnel, a flexible tool that bends, molds and holds its shape to fit applications where liquids, leaks or drips need to be drained, diverted or transferred.
The Form-A-Funnel is constructed of a moldable lead interior and fully coated with thick and pliable rubber, and is chemical resistant and safe to handle, according to the company.
New Pig said the funnel can be shaped to channel, catch and divert hard-to-drain liquids directly into a container, keeping drips off of equipment and floors, reducing the potential for slips and falls. It is easy to clean and will retain its shape until its next application, or can be flattened out or rolled up and stored in a tool box.
Detroit Diesel Launches Advanced Diagnostics Features
Detroit Diesel Corporation announced the launch of new advanced diagnostics features for its Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link (DDDL) available for heavy-duty engines and compatible with the company’s full line of engines.
The company said the DDDL’s enhanced features provide service technicians an interactive tool by not just reading diagnostic data, but interpreting it and automatically determining next steps. A sophisticated troubleshooting tree provides step-by-step diagnostics to help technicians quickly and easily address issues.
Additional features include encrypted videos and animation clips that further aid in diagnoses. On-screen graphics also serve as a teaching tool for technicians. Technicians can also use the DDDL to report back to Detroit Diesel’s support center, which helps Detroit Diesel engineers monitor and evaluate repairs being made, enhancing continuous engine and technology improvements, the company said.

Compact Trailblazer Combines Welder, Generator and More
Mobile service and repair operations can benefit from the Trailblazer 302 Air Pak from Miller Electric Mfg. Co. that combines an air compressor, generator and welder into one unit that saves up to 50 percent of the space that would be required for individual units.
The truck-mounted unit’s rotary screw air compressor produces 26 CFM at 100 percent of its duty cycle and delivers 70 to 160 PSI, according to the company. Additionally, the generator provides up to 13,000 watts and the welder produces up to 350 amps.
With the reduced real estate comes reduced axle weight, up to 25 percent. The Trailblazer 302 Air Pak has a 30 horsepower, gasoline-powered Kohler engine.
The company said the unit runs most air impact wrenches at idle and provides 100 percent deliverable air, which allows technicians to work continuously without worrying about air pressure.
The multi-process machine provides strong Stick, MIG, flux cored, AC/DC TIG and air carbon arc gouging and cutting performance with: 25 to 300 amps of DC output for Stick; 10 to 300 amps of DC output for TIG; 10 to 225 amps for AC TIG/Stick; and 13 to 35 volts (350 amps) for MIG and flux-cored welding. It has two generators, one for welding and one for power generation, to help ensure the welding arc remains stable when power tools are being used.
