Recession remains a lingering fear within the global market, with analysts citing a series of rising risks (including the financial strain of the European refugee crises and the threat of stimulus cuts to the ECB institute). An economic stumble is, they claim, to be expected.Canada’s mining market may help to steady that stumble.
According to Pricewaterhousecoopers, mining proves a powerful force in Canada - generating consistent revenue and employment opportunities (two elements desperately needed to counter an impending recession). In 2015 the market bolstered the North American GDP with a cash-flow surge:
Gross Revenue: Approximately 7.7 billion.
Net Mining Revenue: Approximately 6.2 billion.
Operational Revenue: Approximately 1.6 billion.
New Capital Revenue: Approximately 700 million.
Net Mining Revenue: Approximately 6.2 billion.
Operational Revenue: Approximately 1.6 billion.
New Capital Revenue: Approximately 700 million.
These numbers showcase both the value and vitality of the mining market, with Canada delivering financial stability. Through this, it can help to counter the effects of recession - strengthening North America’s economy through improved production.
To ensure this production remains high, Connexus Industries offers our clients a series of underground mining options - all tailored to precision, utilizing specialty alloys and 160-340 BHN hardness values to promote durability. This allows every track pad to transition from site to site, delivering weight ranges of more than 300 pounds. They accommodate every need and promote seamless operations.
This will help to protect both the North American and global economies against recession - and nothing proves more important than that.

On May 17th the Design Engineering Expo greeted the Ontario lumber market - offering millers, harvesters, and distributors access to the latest industry solutions. Countless exhibitions lined the walls of the Mississauga Convention Centre, showcasing a series of technologies and manufacturing systems; and representatives from North America’s leading forces (including Objex Unlimited, 3DX Production, and EMKA Inc) offered insights into the changing commercial landscape.They also emphasized the need for automation.
During an interview with Wood Business, Ben Hope (Technology Driver for Festo Canada) noted the value of automated strategies in the lumbar industry - calling for mills and manufacturers alike to implement smarter tech platforms. Through this, he argued, higher production standards can be achieved; and North America can reap the benefits of streamlined operations, using real-time information to improve all processes.
Hope said: “By collecting big data - identifying what is valuable and performing data analytics - companies now have the opportunity to optimize various aspects of their operations through condition monitoring, energy consumption monitoring, proactive maintenance, and more.†Automation leads to improvement.
Connexus Industries has long since embraced this philosophy, providing our customers with the Sense-A-Cut III. This bandsaw deviation control system delivers continuous data feeds to monitor, assess, and improve saw deflections. It allows mills to customize their cutting processes - utilizing multiple sensor inputs and increased speed feeds to enhance accuracy.
Through this, the lumber industry can continue to grow: with the Sense-A-Cut III quickly detecting potential issues and allowing operators to create more efficient responses. This greatly improves production yields and minimizes error, ensuring sustainable sales.

The United States' housing market is experiencing a resurgence. No longer are consumers wary of construction - choosing instead to lay the foundations of both homes and futures. Suburban development reigns supreme, and this has led to a stable economy.It’s also led to bolstered lumber sales.
According to Wood Resource Quarterly, the U.S. lumber market is flourishing. Due to the recent rise in construction, consumption levels have grown 5% and import volumes (particularly from Canada) have grown 10%. This proves contrary to the global sector, where falling prices and weak mill operations have led to a 4.8% decline.
Through a strong need for hardwood and softwood products, U.S. consumers are helping to strengthen the economy - and they’re also creating opportunities for North American mills.
Connexus Industries is prepared to further those opportunities. We offer sharp top chains, each tailored for precision. We create custom tip designs for every client, seamlessly adapting to industry grip needs. Through our painstaking engineering process - which combines oxidation-resistant materials and ground-flat bottoms - we ensure that each product can accommodate speeds of over 1,400 FPM.
This, we know, is essential for the expanding U.S. construction market. We enable mills to match every housing demand - with ease, efficiency, and durability.

(Posted on May 15, 2016 at 04:25PM by Lee Byard)
The future of the mining industry proves positive - with analysts and shareholders alike celebrating a recent alliance between Goldcorp and Kaminak.According to Mining.com, Goldcorp (the world’s third largest bullion producer) and Kaminak (a leading Canadian company) have joined forces, with a $520 million merger helping to bolster the North American market. This merger delivers increased operations to the Yukon territories - specifically the Dawson City region, where more than 3 million ounces of product are speculated to exist.
This speculation now sends Goldcorp and Kaminak to the north, where they’ll seek to develop the current Coffee Gold Project (as well as pursue new mining opportunities). Through this, they’ll create employment options and inspire a market surge.
They’ll also create a need for track pads, which Connexus Industries is happy to provide. We fuse MT100 specifications with 160-340 BHN hardness values, providing our customers with the durability they need. Each pad promotes effective underground operations, with specialized steel alloys resisting breakage and jambing alike.

Columbia Forest Products Announces Merger and Improves Lumber Market
Tags:
(Posted on May 15, 2016 at 04:15PM by Lee Byard)
A hardwood production surge will soon come to the North American lumber market - with recent reports noting a merger between Columbia Forest Products and Nova Wood Lamination.According to Wood Business, Columbia Forest Products - a U.S.-based plant founded in 1957 - recently acquired the Nova Wood Lamination corporation. This merger (which is one of many from Columbia, with the company expanding its practices across North America) will bolster the market, creating a need for decorative hardwood and plywood products. Analysts anticipate that both harvesting and milling operations will increase across Canada and the United States to compensate.
That anticipation is well-founded. Columbia Forest Products already ranks among the largest wood providers in North America, with locations in North Carolina, Oregon, Wisconsin, Vermont, Maine, Ohio, Arkansas, West Virginia, Virginia, Ontario, and Quebec. The Nova addition will simply increase its production capabilities - which will inspire a healthy market margin.
Connexus Industries is prepared for this, providing milling companies with specialized sharp top chains (which deliver custom tip designs to ensure maximum grips and minimum tear-outs). We blend corrosion-resistant materials with precise engineering, creating products that can endure every lumber demand.
This will prove essential as Columbia Forest Products continues its push toward hardwood domination.

Examining The Value Of Tungsten Carbide For North American Manufacturing
Tags:
(Posted on May 11, 2016 at 01:07PM by Lee Byard)
The value of a machine extends far beyond its cost, with North American companies investing instead in dependability. Long-term strategies demand equally long-term solutions, and the need for reliable materials is essential within the manufacturing, mining, and agricultural markets.This is why Connexus Industries is proud to offer our clients tungsten carbide chips - fusing our custom machine parts with high-performance results.
Carbide chips - which pair carbon atoms with non-metallic tungsten compounds, creating a sturdy synthetic - enhance the production process. They strengthen each machine component, increasing overall surface hardness and bolstering weld-points. This reduces wearing, allowing parts to more efficiently adapt to all operations.
It also promotes sustainability, with tungsten carbide chips lengthening the lifespan of every machine. These deposits bond effectively with all materials, increasing their abilities and requiring fewer (costly) downtimes. They ensure that all components remain on-site and fully operational.
This, we know, is essential for our clients, enabling them to accommodate all market demands and secure steady profits.
