PRODUCTS INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN Enhance workplace safety A large percentage of workplace accidents occur at internal entry and exit points and at points of transition between various sections in a manufacturing or storage facility. The use of transparent strip curtains will go a long way to mitigate against risks and improve safety in the workplace. Apex General Purpose Strip Curtains are produced using specially formulated PVC material which is transparent for increased visibility. Individual strips incorporate the company’s patented Balledge feature which ensures a thermal seal – allowing the strips to part easily allowing unimpeded movement of personnel or vehicular traffic.

When size matters Colossus is the largest centrifugal pump available on the South African market for the food and beverage industry and was recently introduced by Verder Pumps South Africa. This is in response to the latest market trends. Verder’s Colossus pump is an extension of Packo’s MCP3 and MFP3 pump range. It weighs 1.6t, and offers a flow rate of 1 200m³/h, with a 200kW motor. While many breweries still use cast-iron pumps for higher flow rates, the stainless-steel design of the Colossus is much more hygienic. It is likely to become the standard in the food and beverage industry in the future. Applications include dairies, breweries, and distilleries. The pumps are a particularly reliable option for filtration applications, pasteurisation, yeast propagation, and in cleaning systems. For more information, contact +27 (0) 11 704 7500.
