PRODUCTS INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN Henry takes on Chillventa Space-saving marvel Henry Technologies is a leading manufacturer of components for the commercial refrigeration and air-conditioning industry, supplying to over 90 countries around the world. Henry Technologies displayed a host of new products in Nuremberg at the biannual premier global exhibition, Chillventa. These include new trans-critical Co2 safety device products, an extended range of IntelOil electronic oil controllers levels sensors, and liquid level probes. ambient warehouses for years.

The Aisle-Master articulated VNA forklift trucks, designed and built in the Republic of Ireland, have been used in allows you to reduce aisle size to as little as 1.6m, helping you save space. This space-saving capability is even more vital in the cold chain sector where space is that much more valuable. With the launch of the cold storage range of fully AC Aisle-Master Electric articulated forklift trucks, with or without cabs, this dream is now a reality. The AisleMaster 20SE can operate in conditions as low as -40°C, in an aisle of 1 780mm, pallet to pallet. The savings that the Aisle-Master stacks up in terms of space and energy ensure that it pays for itself time and again. Future of milking Orono Trading has just become the first dairy farm in Africa to install the state-of-the-art GEA MIone automatic milking system. This system can be configured with two to five boxes, and is ideal for medium to large herds. The benefits of the system are manifold. With MIone, each step — from attaching, stimulating, cleaning, drying, pre-milking and milking, to the removal of each of the four individual quarters — is part of a calm, comfortable, stress-free milking process. ID monitoring and guided pre-selection gates ensure even distribution of cows per milking station, which translates to perfect, stress-free throughput. Since all tasks can be controlled and monitored from one central management station, staff can perform less tedious, repetitive tasks and are able to better manage the herd.

Maximum advantage Correct product selection and application are essential for customers to gain the maximum advantage in terms of safety, health, environment and quality (SHEQ) compliance. Apex’s locally manufactured SR 9000 insulated impact traffic door complies with all relevant SHEQ standards. Each Apex SR 9000 door is manufactured from a 3mm ABS skin that retains its physical properties down to temperatures of minus 40°C. The low maintenance skin is impervious to moisture, acids, petroleum products, animal fats, rodents, insects, and salt solutions. The door’s insulation characteristics are enhanced further by the internal design elements, including the injection of a high density, nonCFC urethane foam into the hollow shell of the door.

New generation tech The newly developed system generation LiquiSonic V10 from SensoTech pushes the boundaries of concentration measurement in liquids. The LiquiSonic V10 provides an inline analytical solution used to determine the concentration of process liquids in industry and research, and offers a remarkably user-friendly system with a high level of accuracy. The use of the latest technology allows even more precise and faster measurement as well as improved repeatability. The V10 sensors use less energy and meet the increased requirements on energy efficiency and environmental protection. From farm to fryer, potatoes grown to make potato chips are sensitive to environmental conditions that affect their fry quality: their appearance, taste and appeal when processed. One of the most unpopular chip defects — dark brown spots on the chips — is a result of exposure to elevated levels of carbon diox
