Upgrade Option
Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced a major upgrade
to its Thermo Scientific metal detector family (formerly sold under the
Goring Kerr brand name). The upgrade extends the operational life of the
Thermo Scientific DSP2, DSP3 and Metal Eliminator products in the field
while improving ease of use, reliability and performance. The new upgrade
option, which brings innovation from the new Thermo Scientific APEX
solutions, gives customers two choices to meet their metal-detection needs:
Relatively new customers will benefit from the upgrade assuming the
sensitivity ranges still meet their requirements, while customers with
older models who already anticipate stricter sensitivity requirements in
the future, may opt for the newest APEX solution. Used as an integral part
of contaminant detection in the food-production process, the Thermo
Scientific APEX product line detects all types of metals — including
the most common, stainless steel — in food products before they
are shipped.

New Valve
Fogg Filler has created a new valve for filling glass
bottles. With Fogg’s innovation and sanitation, the company has
emerged into the new standard for filling glass bottles. Consumer safety is
always on the top of manufacturers’ minds. Therefore, when
manufacturers are filling glass bottles, filling valves encountering the
glass bottle is always of great concern. That is why Fogg has designed its
new Polymer Tipped filling valve. This valve has a high-tech polymer nose,
which makes it very durable during CIP and SIP without cracking or
detaching. This technology can also be retrofitted to any older Fogg valves
with the expectation of the same filling success.

Tube Heat Exchanger
The custom Metalcraft CM-3-Tube Heat Exchanger is
simple to install, operate and maintain. The CM-3-Tube can be cleaned and
sanitized with standard CIP systems and is easily disassembled, without
tools, for periodic inspection. To heat or cool a liquid product, the
CM-3-Tube is the cleanest and simplest multi-tube heat exchanger on the
market. The CM-3 features a unique, patented take-apart design that is
constructed to the highest sanitary standards. The product is surrounded by
the heating/cooling medium for maximum thermal efficiency. These exchangers
will function as heaters or coolers using water, steam, or most other
mediums. The system is a highly efficient, sanitary liquid product to
liquid product regenerator — recovering as much as 90 percent of the
original heat.

Rain Wear
PolyConversions’ new 3-piece VR Rainsuit
includes jacket with storm flap, detachable hood and bib-style pants
with adjustable elastic suspenders. Features consist of reinforced crotch
and underarms, comfort-fit design, strong thermal seals, and quick-release
snap lock buckles with easy adjustment front and back. The VR Rainsuit
incorporates a naturally soft and lightweight design with physical
properties superior to PVC and other traditional rainsuit materials. VR is
a new-age impervious material made from high-tech plastic resins, highly
resistant to fats, oils and a wide array of acid chemicals. Recent
published results from an independent lab study reveals that VR, an
odorless and non-toxic material, is able to shed oils, fats, greases and
other organic residues at a faster rate during routine cleaning and
disinfection processes. VR also resists bio-film accumulation and cracking
or tearing in low-temperature work environments, eliminating the potential
for flecking and particle contamination.

Upgraded Features
FKI Logistex has announced a set of upgrades to its
Order Manager software solution — a combined warehouse management
system (WMS)/warehouse control system (WCS) available exclusively from FKI
Logistex. Upgraded features include RFID support, enhanced order
management, inventory control, and productivity reporting. Designed as both
a cost-effective solution for small, manual stockrooms and a
mission-critical application for warehouses that require an automated
equipment interface with a short implementation time, Order Manager
eliminates the need for multiple connections to a company’s
enterprise business systems (EBS). An EBS can communicate with Order
Manager directly, avoiding multiple hardware and software vendor
connections.
