Spherical Fitting Display Uncovers Mystery

Sometimes a product is so well engineered, that only a hands-on demonstration can provide the “ah-ha” moment that commonly signifies clear understanding.

This was the case with the Mueller NO-BLO® Spherical Stopper Fitting display as shown recently at the AGA Show in Pittsburg:

“The spherical fitting was a huge hit with our people and the customers. It succeeded in garnering increased interest in the product, which has been out for several years. Our people praised it. Many people stopped to show their associates how such a fitting works. . . It was fun to watch peoples’ faces when they rotated the piece and finally saw how this thing works.”

Robert Abbott
Mueller Co.

The display incorporates a hidden bearing that allows the lower hemisphere of the display to be rotated 180 degrees, thus changing the direction of flow from side facing to bottom, or vice versa.

The fitting is suspended from the top in order to create this simulation, and the rotation indexes into each position to hold it in place.

Giving an audience the ability to manipulate and operate your products is an experience they will take with them long after the event is over.

Working Models Draw People In

Motorizing your products is a great way to attract interest and show func­tionality. Many products can be actuated or rotated with a few minor adjustments and the right horsepower. Lighting and a descriptive backdrop can finish off the whole scene.

Whether a fluid handling display or an actuating component, movement in your display will pay off for you in terms of people being drawn in by the movement and immediately asking questions about what is being shown.

Add a push button or two to give the audience something to interact with themselves, and you will find people clamoring to try it for themselves.

When marketing your product, the more of the (5) senses you can involve in a memorable way, the more likely it will be that your display/salesmen/company will be remembered long after the crate has been latched and the freight ticket attached.

If a product is too large for this type of service (or too small), consider a 3D animation sequence to show your products in action. Add a touch screen display where your customer can virtually interact with your product, and you will find a line of people waiting to try it for themselves.

Get your audience involved and tell your story to a captivated audience. The results will speak for themselves. Click here to contact CalCo or call 847/639-3858 for more information.
