    Heading into a new year and a new decade, we would like to take this opportunity to look back at some of the highlights. Take a look at the most popular GK blog posts of the 2010s: 1.) The Different Types of Plastics and How They are Recycled This breakdown of commonly used […]

At General Kinematics, we know downtime can be scary – especially if you haven’t prepared for it. Most facility and operations managers think they’ll catch a problem in time, but for thousands of facilities, the frightening reality is they don’t.

When it comes to your vibratory equipment, maintenance and high-quality parts are critical.  That’s why we’re talking about the importance of rocker legs and slats, as well as how to properly maintain them to get the most out of your vibratory equipment.   Rocker legs  Rocker legs, also called stabilizers, eliminate vertical and horizontal deflection […]

We’ve talked before about the importance of monitoring equipment for safety and improved productivity, but how can you set up your systems and equipment in a way that makes this level of monitoring easy? And how does the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) play into your decisions and monitoring processes?  Technological Improvements in Monitoring With […]

Ready to operate in off-the-grid locations for mining and aggregate industries, GK can now operate its vibratory equipment using the power of the sun. General Kinematics’ prototype solar-power system has a total of 30 square feet of solar panels, a bank of eight, 6V storage batteries, and additional equipment. This arrangement allows the stored DC […]

This just in: Americans only recycle 34 percent of discarded materials. While this number is up dramatically from only 6 percent in 1960, the U.S. still falls behind other developed countries. Germany currently leads the world race in recycling municipal solid waste with a whopping 68 percent recycling rate, and countries like Austria, South Korea, […]

As we’ve written about before, Industry 4.0 is here. This new industrial revolution is different from previous ones in one significant way: it’s all about using technology to streamline the industry. With a network of intelligent tech, Industry 4.0 allows computers and networks to communicate and essentially make decisions based on the data they collect […]

Corporations and small businesses have long sought better approaches to material processing. One of the main topics of debate is that of batch processing vs. continuous flow.  Batch Processing Batch processing involves the processing of bulk material in groups through each step of the process. Processing of subsequent batches must wait until the current is […]
