anufacturing, warehousing and distribution businesses across the world are looking for ways to cut costs to remain as competitive as possible. And with productivity more crucial than ever, large warehouse doors are being left open for longer and used more frequently. As internal temperatures drop by as much as 10°C within moments of the doors opening,
it’s time for warehouse businesses to stop energy sneaking out of the back door and making a huge hole in their profits. For the all- encompassing solution, without the inconvenience or discomfort caused by constantly opening and closing doors – air curtains fit the bill perfectly.
Airbloc energy efficient air curtains cut energy loss by over 80% and deliver a uniform flow of air to separate the interior and exterior atmospheres, maintain the internal climate, offer significant cost savings and deliver vastly improved worker comfort.
A system which fits the bill
Providing a comfortable and safe working environment is a must for every business owner. However the opening and closing of external doorways is unpreventable in warehouses and every time this happens warm air escapes and cold air enters. This makes a huge difference to fuel costs. As well as the inevitable increase in energy bills, opening and closing external doors will also affect the internal temperatures and reduce the comfort levels for employees – especially those working close to the doorway. And with many warehouses storing perishable items, temperature sensitive stocks can also be compromised. Comparative temperature readings show a drop of between 4°C and 10°C every time a warehouse door is opened. However, with an air curtain the difference is normally just 1°C. With an over door air curtain, energy lost through open doors which was previously seen as unavoidable, can actually be reduced by as much as 80%.

New one-trip budget pallets for big exporters
L
arge exporters can now ship more products and spend less in doing so using
Goplasticpallets.com’s newly developed one-trip budget nestable pallets.
Nestable plastic pallets are a popular choice for exporting goods as they are lightweight, exempt from ISPM15 heat treatment regulations and are comparable in cost to heat-treated wooden pallets. But now, an even more cost-effective variety of nestable pallet is available for big exporters. Made from lower grade material,
Goplasticpallets.com’s newly introduced one-trip budget nestable pallets have been specially manufactured to allow high volume users to rein in shipping costs – great news for the budget- conscious exporter! Jim Hardisty, Managing Director of
Goplasticpallets.com, said: “Plastic pallet manufacturers are constantly developing pallets from different grades of plastic to achieve optimum performance at the lowest possible cost. “One example is recycled polyolefin (PO) pallets – like our Cabka-IPS CPP 790 PO nestable pallet – which we introduced to our range in 2013. In the last couple of years, Cabka-IPS has been refining the recycling process to improve the overall performance of its PO pallets and as a result they’ve been proving very popular with exporters due to their lightweight – as light as 5kg per pallet – and low price tag. “In fact, the performance of pallets made from lower grade materials has improved to such an extent that one of the European manufacturers we work with confirmed last week that more than half of its sales so far this year have been one-trip budget nestable pallets.

MI Sensors has added its 607A11 Swiveler® ICP® industrial accelerometer to their five day delivery programme. The Swiveler is designed to install conveniently into tight spaces at lower cost than existing through bolt sensors with its unique 360° swivel mount making installation quick and easy. The 607A11 sensor is offered with PCB Piezotronics’ lifetime warranty and ATEX options are available for use in hazardous area applications. The unique design facilitates positioning of the integral, side-exit cable while the floating lock nut keeps the sensor securely in place. This low-cost, smaller alternative to ring-style accelerometers has distinct advantages over other industrial-grade vibration sensors, for example, its small footprint of just 14mm diameter and its shear mode construction that minimises base bending and ambient temperature transient effects. Specifications include sensitivity of 100mV/g, measurement range ±50g, overload limit (shock) 5000g peak and frequency range to 10kHz. Offering a substantially cheaper solution than most through-bolt designs, PCB Piezotronics’ model 607A11 Swiveler is the only logical choice for installations where space is restricted.
