PRODUCTS INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN Racking revolution Multisided digital manometer With over 300 systems successfully operating across Europe, Barpro Storage is now incorporating the Storax Ramada Ranger Shuttle as an important addition to its product line- up to southern Africa. The shuttle is as space efficient as mobile racking and its flexible design suits all load shapes and sizes. It can support a pallet load weight of up to 2 000kg and boasts Kobold, represented locally by Instrotech, has on offer model MAN-SD intelligent digital manometers, which offer reliable pressure monitoring of plant and machinery and has application in the fields of mechanical engineering, environmental technology, and hydraulics. These battery-powered devices, which are fitted with piezo-resistive sensors, resist overloads up to three times nominal loading. There is a choice between 24 measuring ranges, and the manometer can be installed in such a way that the easy-to-use four-digit LCD display can be very easily read, as both the process connection and the front cover are rotatable. Operation is simple and convenient using three function buttons on the film-covered keypad. The zero point can be set automatically using the zero function, and a freely-selectable password offers protection against incorrect or unintentional operation. Models with analogue or relay output are available. This robust pressure measuring device fulfils an operating temperature range of -28 to 40°C. It works with all types of pallets and offers greater selectivity than drive-in racks, since each level can hold a different product. It also reduces forklift damage as pallets are deposited in the front of the rack; the rest of the work is left to the shuttle. For more information, contact +27 (0) 21 552 9190.
