Aqua Safety showers - simply superior!
We are a worldwide provider of Emergency Safety Shower and Eye Wash units for the Oil, Chemical, Gas and Utility industries. Our units can operate in tempera- tures ranging between -55°C (-67°F) and +60°C (140°F). Safety equipment includes indoor/outdoor units; units
for use in remote locations; mains-fed/self-contained. All are of superior build quality plus we have the flexibility to adapt, modify or design bespoke units in our UK manu- facturing facility. All products exceed ANSI/EN safety standards.
PREPARE SITES FOR WINTER! It is that time already where preparation is power! Ensure worker safety in the winter months by asking the following questions and acting accordingly: • Are your safety showers fully operational/tested regularly? • Will they deliver tepid water, even in cold conditions? • Are units frost protected? •Is water level/temperature of self-contained units visible at all times?

metal detectors – including the Interceptor and In- terceptor DF – feature the very latest ARM micro- processors. Used in a range of devices, from smartphones to tablets and multimedia players, for Fortress engineers the real benefit of ARM Processing comes from being able to run multiple inspection processes simultaneously with the highest precision, while also capturing and storing valuable processing data for traceability. With the Interceptor metal detector, ARM Process-
ing enables a machine to run real-time analysis of a low-frequency and a high-frequency signal in paral- lel. This allows food producers to inspect wet or con- ductive products and identify the product effect – most noticeable at lower frequencies - and at the same time eliminate it from the higher frequency signal where the potential effect of metal is likely to be more prominent. Most recently, Fortress is utilising the microchip
power to revolutionise the detection of thin flat metal flakes in high value, low profile foods. Using multiple coil sets to instantaneously drive the elec- tromagnetic fields in different directions, the Inter- ceptor DF scans and looks for signals over a broad spectrum, from multiple angles. The stronger distur- bance from one field compensates for the weaker signal from another. This increases the probability of identifying and rejecting products containing non-spherical metals by over 100 percent.

Thermal Printer business TPS is forging ahead
previous site. This expansion includes a new workshop for return to base re- pairs, improved stock holding capability and a showroom to introduce its range of printers, print and apply systems and label applicator solutions. In addition to recruiting two new business development managers to
drive new sales and product development in the UK market, TPS is also re- cruiting engineers to boost its next working day response time for service contracts, and any ad-hoc requests, to keep downtime for its customers to an absolute minimum. TPS says food companies preparing for Natasha’s Law are helping to
contribute to its strong performance. The new regulation comes into effect from October 2021, requiring businesses to provide full ingredient lists and allergen labelling on foods packaged for sale on the premises. Explaining the company’s mission to become the UK’s largest integrated
supplier of all label printing, product coding and label automation tech- nologies, Jason Asser, TPS Managing Director, says: “Our business model is to provide a ‘one-stop shop for all’ with a complete range of products that are associated with thermal transfer printing and the application of labels. “As you would expect we work with all the major manufacturers, support-
ing the complete sales cycle from onsite surveys through to installation and beyond, utilising our network of highly-trained engineers. Bespoke projects are especially welcome and we guarantee a next working day engineer visit as part of our very competitive repair contracts.” Label printers, both liner and linerless, which are more environmentally
Covid has proved disruptive for many sectors of the UK economy but one company that has reported a spike in business as usual during the pan- demic is Thermal Printer Support Ltd (TPS). The Redditch firm has seen sales surge by 24% year-on-year as demand for automated labelling solutions grow in the run up to Natasha’s Law, as well as manufacturers turning to automation to boost productivity. With profits increasingly steadily during the past three years, the UK’s
leading specialist supplier of thermal transfer and direct thermal print sys- tems has now invested in a new facility that offers six times the space of its
friendly with no backing paper and so less waste, are proving popular among TPS’s customers seeking thermal printing solutions, software and consumables, backed up by experienced service engineers.
