or a limited time period, until 31st December 2017, Fluke is offering a 16% saving when purchasing a FLUKE-805 FC/805 ES bundle consisting of a Fluke 805 FC


Vibration Meter, together with a Fluke 805/ES external vibration sensor. This can be found at www.fluke.co.uk/805. Saving is based on the cost of the items if purchased separately. The FLUKE-80/ES extends the use of the meter to crowded or hard-to- reach locations. The Fluke 805 FC Vibration Meter is a portable, multifunction vibration screening tool that provides quantifiable information on the bearings and overall health of motors and other rotating equipment; the 805 FC can share that data in real time via Fluke Connect™. It is ideal for frontline mechanical troubleshooting teams that need reliable and repeatable measurements of rotating equipment to make imperative go/no-go maintenance decisions. The Fluke 805 FC Vibration Meter measures overall vibration from 10Hz to


1,000Hz and provides a four-level severity assessment for overall vibration and bearing condition.

Alicat Expands Industrial Automation Protocol Options with Addition of Modbus TCP/IP


A


licat Scientific has added Modbus TCP/IP compatibility to its line of mass flow, pressure, and liquid instrumentation. The new option allows


PLCs running the Modbus industrial automation protocol to connect to Alicat instruments over Ethernet cable. Alicat instruments rapidly and precisely monitor and control critical


process parameters in chemical, medical, manufacturing and power industries. All the mass flow or pressure controller’s data, including: mass flow, volumetric flow, pressure, temperature, selected gas calibration, setpoint, and totalised flow can be output to a central PLC running a compatible automation protocol.


Users may also change setpoint or gas selection, and issue other commands remotely. Now these capabilities are


available in a Modbus intranet or internet environment, using the TCP/IP protocol. In addition to the new Modbus TCP/IP protocols, Alicat offers standard Modbus-RTU, EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet and PROFIBUS communication options to fit new or existing systems. For easy drop-in replacement of older industrial units.


Alicat u 01223 472804 u www.alicat.com Union Industries proves to be flavour of the month for Pilgrim Foodservice


Foodservice’s new warehouse extension. After a period of strong growth, the Lincolnshire-based


U


foodservice supplier needed an effective solution for maintaining its temperature controlled environment, and to provide necessary airlocks in specific areas of its new warehouse extension.


This is the second time that Union Industries has


returned to Pilgrim Foodservice. In 2016, Union was asked to replace two competitor high speed freezer doors at the foodservice supplier’s warehouse. After being impressed with Union’s Eiger Doors™ and after-sales service, Pilgrim Foodservice got back in touch with the Leeds-based business to order the new doors for its new build project.


Union’s best-selling fast action option, the Bulldoor™,


has a track record of controlling temperatures and improving hygiene. The Bulldoor™ comes with the Lifetime Warranty scheme and includes control outputs for options such as airlocks, traffic control systems and remote monitoring.


Pilgrim Foodservice also purchased a Matadoor™ for


one of the warehouse’s smaller internal openings which, as with the other Union doors on site, includes the ‘Crash-Out & Auto-Reset' feature to allow the bottom beam to swing out of the way if hit by a forklift truck, without damage.


Established in 1980, family-run Pilgrim Foodservice is a


BRC-accredited supplier of over 5000 high-quality products in a range of categories such as ambient, chilled and frozen. They supply goods to a diverse range of customers including pubs, hotels, schools and restaurants, across 15 counties throughout the Eastern side of the country.


28 SEPTEMBER 2017 | FACTORY EQUIPMENT Charles Bateman, Managing Director of Pilgrim


Foodservice said, “At Pilgrim Foodservice, providing outstanding customer service is key”.


“Union is a leading provider of rapid-roller industrial


roller doors and that attitude is apparent in every aspect of their day-to-day operation. We hope to continue this relationship in the future.


Alan Hirst, Sales Director at Union Industries added,


“It’s important for our clients in the food industry to keep their produce in the highest quality condition and our


industrial doors take care of any issues that the environment may bring. Pilgrim Foodservice, like many other customers we have in this industry sector, have realised that reliable doors and excellent service response is critical to their own success, hence why Union was their preferred choice over lower-cost doors from alternative suppliers for this extension project.”
