A reliable coupling for HVAC systems
When asked to describe the most important features of Rexnord® Addax® composite couplings, Steve Hittmann, National Product Manager – Mechanical Drives at CBC, has a long list to go through: Corrosion resistance, high-misalignment capacity, excellent fatigue resistance, low weight, ease of installation and ease of maintenance, to name a few.
As the pioneer for advanced composite couplings, Rexnord first introduced Addax couplings for the cooling tower industry in 1987. More than 30 years later, the couplings are still market leading for the many benefits they bring to the efficient operation of cooling towers and other heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
CBC, in partnership with Rexnord, offers assistance with selection, design and installation of Addax composite couplings. Steve says this close partnership between the two companies is particularly beneficial to the end users because “no two coupling installations are the same.”

Beating rust, like professionals
If there’s one thing a farmer, a miner, a sailor and a builder have in common, lubrication expert David Bailey believes it’s that they all have to deal with rust.
Just over a decade ago, CRC introduced CRC Penetr8 to address that very issue. Designed with a 360-degree nozzle, the Penetr8 aerosol can be sprayed in any angle and to penetrate deep into seized, bound or frozen fasteners and loosen them.
The story of how the CRC Penetr8 was developed by CRC is an interesting one. One of the first projects where the CRC Penetr8 was trialed was in the Gold Coast, according to David Bailey, CRC Industries’ National Business Development Manager for Mining.
