PRODUCT INNOVATIONS
A one-source contractor?
When you need to repair or replace your floor in the main production area it would be helpful if you could contact a company that can provide you with everything from laying the concrete slab to providing the finished floor, including advice on which floor is the most suitable to lay, advice on stainless steel drains and kerbs as well as wall and ceiling solutions. Kemtile claim to be one such company that has all these qualifications. The company is a multi- disciplined supplier that has been installing and repairing floors in the food and beverage industry for over 30 years. A spokesman for the company commented: “We understand the design of floors and the specific needs/requirements of the food/beverage industry. We continue to work for almost every major food and drinks brand on either new build or refurbishment projects as well as many small specialist producers.” Kemtile offers hygienic floors, which can be either resin or ceramic. The heavy duty resin floor can be laid directly to the installed structural concrete or onto a suitable underlayment screed. In either case the floors can be installed flat or more suitably to “falls” for drainage. Heavy-duty resin floors are designed to be hard wearing, provide both chemical and shock resistance and have a slip-resistant surface which complies with The Health and Safety Executives –Food Document number 22/slips and trips in the food industry. For specific areas an anti-static version is available where powder mixing or chemicals are stored. Kemtile install ceramic tiled floors using the Kagetec sonic vibration method for installation, which includes the bedding screed, adhesive and tile to provide a durable floor finish. Argelith tiles provide the ideal floor for the food, beverage or pharmaceutical industries, says Kemtile. For more information call 01925 763045, email

Stepping up to demand
Packaging suppliers Leeways Packaging have announced that they are now in full production of their new range of soft fruit punnets. With the range, the company are claiming to have also created a market first, as they are now producing a punnet with 56mm depth. According to the company, the new depth allows retailers to increase the amount of fruit shipped to their shelves by incorporating up to an additional 12 punnets per crate, meaning more fruit is available for sale in economic pack sizes. This in turn saves supply chain logistics costs, says Leeways. The punnets, which are made from rPET, range from 40 up to 85mm depth and all fit within a standard heat-sealing footprint. According to Leeways, the LP Punnet range boasts industry-leading product visibility whilst the innovative vertical rib design provides maximum strength at the lowest weight for packing, transportation and display.

Ten into one will go
The new and advanced Easifold 250 litre IBC container from TPS Rental Systems can replace ten or more smaller containers, totes, pales or buckets, says the company. With cost saving in mind, says TPS Rental Systems, this IBC requires no external packaging, stretch wrapping or banding, and, production staff can easily manoeuvre the robust pallet deck container using a manual or powered forklift. Combining a small 250 litre IBC with a ‘bag-in-box’ liquid liner system, also, says the company, increases the security of the product. With a completely sealed liner inside, no air can reach the contents and degrade the product and the system also creates the benefit of being able to partially discharge the product and store it hygienically until the next batch is required. Simply installing a new liner makes life easier, saves time and removes cleaning costs, says TPS Rental Systems. For more information call 0800 783 1169 or visit
