About the Cost of Living • • • w i t h Steam Traps WHEN YOU specify steam traps, what could possibly be more important than the cost of living with them — production cost . . . steam cost . . . downtime cost . . . repair cost. No steam traps manufactured have ever provided greater equipment operating efficiency or lower trap maintenance cost than Armstrongs. Consider the experiences of these companies: "30% Greater Output from platen presses since installing Armstrong Traps" — rubber processor. "$8000 Annual Fuel Saving since replacing 600 traps with Armstrong"— metal processor. "30% Less Downtime for repairs with Armstrong Traps"— food processor.
"$25,000 Trap Maintenance Saving every year since installing 4000 Armstrong Traps"— major chemical plant. You may well ask, "Can there really be so big a difference in steam trap performance?" The answer is: These are typical experiences of people who have compared Armstrong trap performance — not for a month or a year, but over periods of 2, 5 and even 10 years or more. The Armstrong trap has certain fundamental advantages, including: No Steam Loss — the valve is always water-sealed. Large air-venting capacity —air is automatically discharged along with condensate. Long-life parts — hardened chrome steel valve and seat — all other parts corrosion-resistant stainless. Abso-
lutely nothing to stick, bind, clog or collapse. Not affected by ordinary dirt and scale. Unconditionally guaranteed to satisfy. It takes an awfully good product to carry such a guarantee. Steam traps can have such a big effect on plant operating efficiency, they are worth more than casual consideration. Let your Armstrong Factory Representative answer your questions.
