Union Industries helps Crown Lift Trucks overcome

operational challenges with installation of highspeed

Ramdoor

nion Industries, the UK’s leading manufacturer of

Ubespoke industrial doors, has assisted Crown Lift

Trucks in addressing multiple operational challenges with

the installation of its cutting-edge high-speed Ramdoor.

Crown Lift Trucks, based in Warrington, faced several

issues at its facility, including the need to segregate two

adjoining units with different temperature requirements

while allowing the movement of high-mast forklift trucks

through a large opening.

To tackle these challenges, Union Industries produced

a bespoke solution to accommodate the building

configuration, ensuring the required opening height

could be achieved without compromising functionality.

Additionally, the limited space at high-level, between

structural steel frames, posed a significant obstacle.

Since launching their UK operations in 1960, Crown

Lift Trucks have become one of the world's leading

manufacturers of forklift and material handling

equipment. Designing and manufacturing up to 85% of its

forklift components, Crown provide their wide customer

base with forklift rentals, servicing and maintenance, used

equipment and a variety of support services.

The installation of the Ramdoor not only addressed

the temperature control and safety concerns but also

enhanced operational efficiency. Union Industries designed

the door to accommodate Crown Lift Trucks’ requirements

while incorporating a pedestrian access door to segregate

traffic flow, ensuring a safer working environment.

The Ramdoor features a dual height opening facility,

allowing for optimal heat retention while accommodating

different forklift sizes. Furthermore, the engineered seals

and infills achieve a seamless finish, enhancing both

functionality and aesthetics.

It has also been designed to achieve a Class 5 wind

resistance rating, making it able to withstand strong

winds and to remain operational even during severe

weather conditions.

Achieving this rating is supported by a number of the

Ramdoor’s features, including its thick Ramhide door

curtain material, which is high frequency welded to give

the strongest fabric joins available.

In addition, it features heavy-duty wind-brace

and wind-bar systems for added strength, plus

extra-deep side-guides, which all contribute to

the Ramdoor’s ability to cope with high wind

loads and pressures. Like other doors in the

Union range, it also benefits from a ‘Crash Out’

facility, in case of vehicle or personnel impact

to the bottom beam, thus ensuring minimal

downtime and repair costs.

Alan Hirst, Sales Director at Union Industries,

said, “We are delighted to have assisted Crown

Lift Trucks in overcoming their operational

challenges with our high-speed Ramdoor.

This project highlights our ability to provide innovative

solutions tailored to our customers’ specific needs.”

Mark Eccleston, Branch Manager, at Crown Lift Trucks,

said, “Union Industries’ Ramdoor has revolutionised

our operational efficiency and safety standards. Their

dedication to understanding our unique requirements

and delivering a bespoke solution underscores their

commitment to customer satisfaction. The Ramdoor not

only enhances temperature control and traffic segregation

but also contributes to our sustainability goals. We are

grateful for their expertise and partnership in achieving

our objectives.”

Carbon Transparency & Cost Accuracy Company of the Month

Carbon Transparency: A

In this issue of Industry Update, we are delighted

to select Benchmark Consulting as our Carbon

Transparency & Cost Accuracy Company of the

Month for the packaging industry

In the battle against global

warming, one software

solution provider is

stepping up to provide

unprecedented insight

into the commercial cost

and carbon emissions.

Benchmark Consulting

is revolutionising

how we understand

and measure the

environmental impact

of packaging, offering

a breakthrough solution

that could change the

way businesses approach

sustainability.

The Packaging Paradox

Packaging often gets a bad rap. Criticised for waste

and environmental damage, it’s an easy target

for environmentalists. But the reality is far more

nuanced. Packaging isn’t the villain – it’s a critical

component of modern commerce that serves

multiple essential functions.

From protecting delicate products during

transportation to extending the shelf life of food,

packaging does much more than often realised. It

communicates vital information, ensures product

safety, and increasingly, is being designed with

environmental considerations in mind.

The Carbon Challenge

The numbers are stark. Global food waste alone

generates greenhouse gas emissions that would

rank third in the world if considered as a country. In

the UK, packaging contributes approximately 10-12

million tonnes of CO 2 equivalent annually – roughly

2-3% of total greenhouse gas emissions. But without

packaging particularly in food, this waste often

generates methane. Methane and carbon dioxide are

both greenhouse gases, but methane

is more potent and has a shorter

lifespan than carbon dioxide.

Methane is 80 times more

potent than carbon dioxide

over 20 years, and 30 times

more potent over 100

years.

In short: packaging is

necessary so the question

is how it should be

managed from source to

end of life:

t The UK Government needs

to legislate and regulate

business to a standard to avoid

voluntary self-regulation by paper,

plastic, glass and metal industries. These vested

interests -in particular solutions have led to a

myriad of confusing messaging often resulting in

either ‘Greenwashing or Greenhushing’.

t Packaging Producers need to report Scope 3

emissions: these are all the indirect emissions

that occur outside of an organisation’s scope 1

and 2 internal boundaries. They are a result of

activities that the organisation indirectly affects

in its value chain, such as buying, using, and

disposing of products from suppliers.

t Brands and retailers need to provide objective

data to enable consumers to make informed

decisions.

t Consumers need to play their part by disposing

or returning their packaging responsibly. For this

to happen meaningfully consumers need clear

communication on packs relayed as to what they

do with the packaging.

t Waste collectors and sorters at the end of life also

need to easily identify the materials and sort such

that material can be commercially recycled.

t The solution also needs to be simple and

transparent!

t The solution is to report all packaging stock

keeping units (SKU) with a commercial cost and

a CO 2 e value to enable informed decisions. This is

not a pipe dream: it is possible today.

Meet Benchmark Consulting: Precision in

Sustainability

Founded in 2011 by Tim Barbary, Liam Barbary,

and Paul Waters, Benchmark Consulting has

developed a groundbreaking software solution that

does something previously thought impossible:

calculating carbon emissions and cost at an

incredibly granular level for packaging producers and

is used for consulting with packaging buyers.

“To illustrate a point,” says Tim Barbary, “if you have

a red and blue packet of crisps, though the packaging

processes are the same, possibly attracting the

same cost to produce and selling price the pigments

(colours) are not, which result in minuscule, yet

differing carbon footprints.”

How It Works: Beyond Surface-Level Measurement

The company’s digital package is a game-changer:

t A sophisticated CO 2 e calculator

t Carbon certification for packaging

t Precise cost modelling and price setting for

packaging materials

t Commercial performance calculation and analysis

t Granular data accurately and consistently

calculated & transparently reported.

Carbon Transparency & Cost Accuracy Company of the Month

New Era in Packaging

This isn’t just about numbers. It’s about driving

meaningful change in the packaging industries

(plastic, paper, glass and metal) critical to global

commerce. As governments introduce more stringent

regulations – like the UK’s current Packaging

Recovery Notes (PRN) and upcoming mandatory

food waste separation laws, Plastics tax, Extended

Producer Responsibility (EPR), Deposit Return

Scheme (DRS) tools like Benchmark’s become

increasingly vital. And if the Global Warming current

trajectory is not reversed in the near future, one can

also envisage a carbon emissions tax.

What sets Benchmark apart is its ability to convert

complex data, often many thousands of rows of

data with different units of measure (area and

weights, metric and imperial and volumes, multilayer

specifications and currencies) – all in minutes.

The Bigger Picture

The UK Government has published the Industrial

Decarbonisation Strategy and set targets on a journey

to carbon net zero emissions (back to the 1990s).

Businesses and society as a whole need to recognise

this is not a simple steady as we go: evolution is

more akin to a revolution.

“Once you start to meaningfully measure granular

data,” Barbary explains, “you can begin to identify

savings in both commercial costs and planetary

impact (CO 2 e).”

Technology Meets Expertise

The team behind Benchmark Consulting brings

decades of experience from packaging production,

purchasing, life cycle assessment, data analysis

and IT industries. Their software is used for daily

estimating by over 100 major packaging producers

across Europe and North America, they’re not just

observers – they’re active participants in identifying

the cost of the sustainability revolution.

Looking Forward: The

Packaging of Tomorrow

The future is promising.

With increasing

investment in renewable

energy and innovative

materials, packaging

is transforming.

Biodegradable solutions,

compostable materials,

and smarter design

are becoming the

norm rather than the

exception.

Benchmark Consulting stands at this exciting

intersection of technology, sustainability, and

commercial intelligence.

The Bottom Line

The path to sustainability isn’t just about policies

and numbers – it’s about transformation. The

UK’s journey from tentative environmental

acknowledgments in the 1980s to today’s

comprehensive net-zero commitments demonstrates

both the challenges and possibilities of systematic

change. While initiatives like the Green Claims Code

and Extended Producer Responsibility schemes

show promise, their success ultimately depends on

the collective will of businesses, governments, and

consumers to embrace genuine transformation.

The packaging industry stands at the forefront of this

revolution, where sustainability isn’t just an option

– it’s an imperative. The road ahead demands more

than superficial changes; it requires a fundamental

rethink of how we design, produce, value and dispose

of packaging materials.

Benchmark software enable holistic objective

decisions that come from granular data collection,

accurate and consistent cost & carbon calculating

and transparent reporting verified by authentic thirdparty

to ISO: 14067.

In a world desperately seeking solutions to climate

change, sometimes the most profound impact

comes from the most unexpected places. Who

would have thought that the key to reducing carbon

emissions might be found in data granularity – the

subtle nuances of a crisp packet’s pigmentation?

Only then do we move

beyond greenwashing to

create truly sustainable

solutions.

As we look toward

2050’s net-zero target,

one thing becomes

clear: the future of

packaging isn’t just

about maintaining the

status quo – it’s about

reimagining what’s

possible. For businesses

ready to embrace this

challenge, the opportunity isn’t just to survive in a

changing market, but to lead the way in creating a

more sustainable future for generations to come.

Benchmark’s team are ready to support business.

As Tim Barbary puts it, “We know wherever there is a

commercial cost, there is a carbon footprint, and we

have the know-how and the tools to measure it at a

low cost.” The question isn’t whether packaging can

be sustainable – it’s whether we have the courage

and commitment to make it so.

Cutting Update

Exploring the versatility

of Bevel Waterjet Cutting

in Metal Profiling

In the realm of metal

fabrication, Charles

Day Steels understand

that precision and

efficiency are paramount.

Over the years, various

cutting methods have

emerged, each with its

own advantages and

limitations, and as leading

providers of metal profiling solutions, we

endeavour to develop a series of metal

profiling services to meet a range of

requirements. One such method that has

gained significant popularity is waterjet

bevel cutting through the multiple

benefits it is able to offer, chief among

which is the ability to cut at angles up to

60 degrees, providing a cost-effective

and cold cutting alternative to the

machining of parts.

Perfect for a diverse range of applications,

profiling via a waterjet machine hosts a

range of versatile benefits, some of which

include:

Versatility in material compatibility

One of the standout features of waterjet

cutting is its compatibility with a wide range

of metal materials. Whether it’s aluminium,

stainless steel, titanium, copper, brass, or

alloys, waterjet cutting can precisely profile

these metals without causing any heatinduced

distortion or altering their inherent

properties. This characteristic is particularly

crucial for industries that require intricate

cuts and shapes while maintaining the

material’s integrity.

Intricate and complex designs

Waterjet cutting technology allows

for precise and intricate metal profiling,

making it ideal for industries that demand

complex designs and tight tolerances. The

high-velocity water stream can effortlessly

manoeuvre through metal, creating

intricate patterns, holes, and sharp corners

that may be challenging to achieve using

alternative cutting methods.

This versatility enables

manufacturers to produce

intricate components and

parts for industries such

as aerospace, automotive,

architecture, and more.

No Heat-Affected Zone

(HAZ)

Unlike traditional heat-based cutting

methods like plasma cutting or laser

cutting, waterjet cutting operates without

generating heat during the cutting process.

The absence of heat eliminates the risk of

thermal distortion, melting, or hardening of

the metal. Consequently, waterjet cutting

minimises the formation of a heat-affected

zone (HAZ), ensuring that the cut edges

retain their original properties, such as

strength, hardness, and structural integrity.

This characteristic is particularly vital for

applications where material properties

cannot be compromised.

Environmentally friendly and safe

Waterjet cutting stands out not only for its

versatility but also for its eco-friendly nature.

The cutting process is typically water-

Cutting Update

based, and the water used can be recycled

and reused, reducing water consumption

significantly. Additionally, waterjet cutting

does not involve the use of hazardous

chemicals or produce harmful fumes, making

it a safe and clean cutting method for

operators and the environment alike.

Minimal secondary processing

Another advantage of waterjet cutting

in metal profiling is the reduced need for

secondary processing. The precise and

clean cuts achieved by waterjet technology

often eliminate the necessity for additional

finishing, such as grinding and deburring.

This saves time, labour costs, and ensures a

more efficient production process; providing

an economically viable alternative.

Charles Day and the Waterjet Sweden

BevelJet 60

Charles Day is proud to possess three of

the UK’s largest cutting beds for waterjet

cutting services, and can profile materials

up to 9m x 4m in size. Drawing on relevant

technologies as part of our continuous ethos

Therefore, the new machine must replicate

it in every detail, although, due to modern

design techniques, Menzel implemented

a performance increase at the customer’s

request.

The new slip ring motor provides a nominal

torque of 43,245Nm at 6,600V rated

voltage and 1,345kW rated power. The

format is unusual: at a total weight of 21.9

tons, the rotor alone weighs full 10.4 tons.

Various accessories were installed, including

HALL effect current transformers to measure

the rotor current, customer-specified

accelerometers on the bearings, and a level

sensor for the electrolyte in the starter.

The motor features IP23 protection and IC

01 cooling (open-circuit ventilation). It has

to withstand ambient temperatures up to

45°C in the rolling mill. The German, familyrun

company counts special motors among

its core business and also designed the

starter in such a way that it caters for the

new motor and the original one equally.

Before shipping, the motor underwent a

complete type test with additional tests

according to customer specifications,

including partial discharge and dissipation

factor measurement (tan δ). Menzel will

also handle the mill drive commissioning,

which the operator will schedule to suit

production planning.

Test, Measurement & Monitoring Update

Reliable and precise gas

measurement systems

LogiDataTech supplies

innovative gas

measurement systems

for directly determining

gas concentration in

a gas mixture. The

explosion-proof MF420-

Ex-2.1 range measures

the concentration of

toxic or combustible

gases and vapours in an

explosive air mixture at

an ambient temperature

range of 0-50°C. They

operate by utilising either

a pellistor or a specific

electrochemical sensor.

Calibration is a simple

procedure and is carried

out on-site using an

alphanumeric display with the use

of buttons, so the device does not

need to be opened. The aluminium

housing is suitable for wall

mounting. The measured values

are outputted via a linear current

output (4-20mA) and the evaluation

and further processing of the

measured values are transmitted to

a device connected downstream by

the user. The instruments comply

with the current European ATEX

standard and are approved for

operation in zones 1 and 2.

Breather valve testing

There is a common misconception that all breather

valves are rigorously tested to a certain standard

before they are sold, but unfortunately, this is

definitely not the case. Many breather valves on the

market are not subject to stringent testing protocols,

leading to significant safety and operational risks.

When these untested and, more importantly,

unsafe breather valves are procured, the end user

unknowingly takes on many risks.

It is crucial to know the facts by conducting

thorough due diligence from the initial purchase

and throughout the entire lifecycle of the unit. First,

ask yourself: Are your breather valves set correctly?

Hansford Sensors is a leading global

manufacturer of industrial vibration

monitoring equipment. We design, develop

and manufacture a range of high-performance

industrial accelerometers, vibration sensors,

4-20mA transmitters, cable assemblies,

industrial enclosures and ancillary equipment.

These products can be used in a wide range of

industries including petrochemical, metal,

paper & recycling.

Visit hansfordsensors.com,

contact 0845 680 1957 or email

sales@hansfordsensors.com

Incorrect settings can lead to valve malfunction,

causing potential overpressure or vacuum conditions

that could compromise tank integrity. Are your

breather valves performing safely? Regular testing

ensures they function within safety parameters,

preventing hazardous situations.

Do you know your breather valve leak rates, and is

your media hazardous, flammable, costly or toxic?

Understanding leak rates is vital for environmental,

occupational health and safety compliance. Do they

function as per intended design and specification,

and do they meet the set point? This ensures that

valves operate as required under specific conditions.

Has your breather valve been tested in accordance

with API2000 Section 5.4? Compliance with this

standard guarantees that valves meet industry

requirements. Do you monitor your

breather valves as part of your

aging plant management plan?

Regular monitoring can identify

wear and tear before it leads to

failures. Lastly, are you confident

that all your breather valves

maintain optimum efficiency and

performance? Ensuring this can

prevent costly downtime and

environmental hazards.

The only irrefutable test method

is using the Vent-Less test bench.

This groundbreaking technology is

revolutionising testing, ensuring that breather

valves are tested prior to installation and during

Fleet Management Update

Celebrating 10 years of

CheckedSafe

Multi-award-winning CheckedSafe offers

a complete digital cloud solutions

package to fleet management across

commercial fleet transport, public and private

transport, emergency services and plant-hire

vehicles. This effectively allows companies to

monitor vehicle compliance across every vehicle

in the UK and even while abroad. It costs as little

as £1 per vehicle per week for a cost-effective

paperless reporting system.

These multiple award-winning solutions have

entirely digitised vehicle compliance, significantly

streamlining the daily operations of both fleet

drivers and management. Bus, HGV, Van, Car, Grey

Fleet, Plant & Machinery (any commercial vehicle)

drivers can download a handy app onto their mobile

devices to use tailor-made vehicle checklists. The

app even functions while in remote areas with no

phone signals to enable checks to be completed on

the move. This flexible, handy app is so easy to use:

just check and go! The main office then receives each

report allowing for a complete audit trail across the

company. This seamless system makes sure that

vehicles are Driver and Vehicle Standards (DVSA)

compliant and automatically generates scheduling

slots for vehicle ad-hoc repair as well as routine

MOTs and servicing.

We caught up

with Director &

Co-Founder, Gary

Hawthorne, to find

out how CheckedSafe

has fared over 2024,

“We expanded

our portfolio of

compliance tools

to include Driver

Licencing Checks and

GB Domestic Hours

modules – these

have all been successfully completed and launched.

We are delighted to say that the GB Domestic Hours

App is a market-first in the UK and was the result of

intensive R&D. We created the algorithm around a

complex set of rules that are currently managed by

paper systems only.

“CheckedSafe is a compliance tech company cocreated

by Darran Harris and myself ten years ago.

Darran has over 20 years’ industry expertise as a

Litigation Solicitor, specialising in road traffic issues

and has worked as a solicitor with major logistics

companies, successfully representing them at

Public Enquiries. I

have over 30 years

as a Transport

Professional, from,

initially Driver,

Manager, TFGM (was

GMPTE), Central

Government Owner/

Operator and as a

DVSA Accredited

Earned Recognition

Auditor.

“Our unique joint

partnership has

thrived in the commercial fleet community, as we

know our product inside out and why it’s required.

We are happy to collaborate with other ‘professional

companies’ and prefer to do so, rather than try to

compete with established solutions. In fact, new

tech collaboration with APIs is much easier now, so

bringing together expert areas is a far better model

than trying to split the atom alone.”

Commercial fleet

compliance has

historically remained

heavily paper-based

but the trend is now

moving towards

technology, especially

with increased Grey

Fleet ownership.

CheckedSafe are

the go-to experts

in this domain and

support private employees and whole fleets manage

compliance, as Gary continues, “Moving people

from paper to technology ensures huge savings in

time, paper and storage – all of which impact the

environment. You can now effectively manage a 100-

strong vehicle fleet from your mobile phone, if you

so wish (though a laptop is advisable, with secure

back-office options). Therefore, there really is no need

to store copious boxes of reports plus everything

is received in ‘Realtime’ so any defects/issues can

be resolved quickly. This reduces overall long-term

costs and downtime as better repair planning can be

achieved.”

“We are professionals in our respective industry not

salespeople or tech people. We both have a passion

for compliance facilitating change for the better. As

an ex-Operator, I fully understand the issues at hand

and as an Accredited Auditor, I know the challenges

companies face daily. This has allowed us through

CheckedSafe to develop our product base from an

expert knowledge base. After designing our ideas on

paper, we hand it over to our Tech Wizards to digitise

those concepts. This ‘old school’ format allows us

to really thrash out the ideas on paper first before

committing to the tech stage.”

Looking ahead to next year and beyond, CheckedSafe

is focused on building further on this year’s product

line by tweaking existing products, providing add-ons

to new products and back links to other areas of the

platform. With growing client demand, CheckedSafe

is looking forward to future collaborations.

“We have a very exciting project for early 2025 but

are keeping tight-lipped for now. It will be a very

exciting addition to our existing product portfolio.

We take great pride in our customer-centric focus:

developing off the basis of customer feedback. All

requests are evaluated and then we develop and

launch that feature for the whole CheckedSafe client

base. We do not charge for this as we believe in

sharing good practice

and one idea may

actually benefit many

others.”

Platelet Dispatch: Transforming

operations for Blood Bikers

We are delighted to showcase Platelet Dispatch

as our Emergency Courier Technology Company

of the Month

Blood Bikers are a cornerstone

for NHS Trusts across

the country, transporting

essential clinical products like

blood, platelets, samples, donor

milk and surgical instruments

between healthcare units, hospitals

and patients’ homes.

Keeping blood bikers moving

The Platelet Dispatch open-source

dispatch system was the brainchild of

Director Theo Cranmore and formally

established in 2023 for the purpose of

supporting blood bikes.

Platelet Dispatch is a dispatch system

for real time, on demand pick-up and

delivery of medical items and blood.

It has in-built fleet management

features, consignment history, and a locations

directory. The system uses offline first design, with

users able to seamlessly update consignment

statuses, even in poor signal areas.

and provides high reliability, as Theo

explains further, “We maintain the Platelet Dispatch

open-source dispatch system and provide services

centred around it. These include hosting, support,

Emergency Courier Technology Company of the Month

training, and feature development. The

app is published to Google Play and

Apple App Store and connects to our

hosted environment.

“Many users of Platelet Dispatch are

only on the rota a few days a month,

and they can be up and running

quickly with an easy to use and

intuitive interface.

“We regularly communicate with blood

bike volunteers and involve them in

testing and feature development. Each

month around 1,200 consignments

are recorded and completed by blood

bikers using our app. Daily deliveries of

blood to air ambulance bases across

the country are also coordinated with

the software.

“Moreover, there are no license fees to use Platelet

Dispatch. Our offerings centre around services, and

an open-source model keeps things simpler for

everyone.”

Spotlight on the Platelet Dispatch system

Platelet Dispatch offers a streamlined digital

alternative to traditional paper-based systems.

Controllers work with the web interface to record

requests and coordinate riders. Riders use the mobile

app to update consignment status. The charities also

benefit from better data security, and faster reporting

and statistics gathering.

Some of the notable key features include:

t Real-time dashboard updates.

t Record inventory for each delivery. You can specify

the items, count, and unit.

t Assign consignments to riders, and other

controllers.

t Statistics and reporting features, with the ability

to export your data.

t Easy to use, modern, and responsive user interface

that works on any screen size.

t Offline location directory and online address

search.

t Mapping tools to see directions and distances.

t User comments and private notes.

Looking to the future

“Looking ahead to 2025, there is a

long list of features we wish to add

to Platelet Dispatch.

“Live tracking of vehicles, task

scheduling, unit management

that lets controllers assign

consignments to teams, and better

fleet management are just a few

things being worked on or planned.

“Further beyond, we’d like to

expand and create software for

other use cases, putting together

a suite of tools focussed on real

time operations. In particular we

are looking into making software

for search and rescue, and drone

delivery services.”

Electronics Update

Minimum effort,

maximum safety

Wieland Electric presents the latest

generation of highly efficient

safety light grids and safety light

curtains.

The importance of occupational safety

grows in modern industrial and logistical

environments as machines and systems

become more complicated. Against

this backdrop, Wieland

Electric introduces its

next generation

of safety

light curtains

and safety

light grids,

which complement

the existing array of

optoelectronic protection

devices and are distinguished by a

high level of safety, flexibility, and use.

The new SLG4 series safety light grids

were designed for applications requiring

dependable access protection over wide

areas on machines or in production

sites. While withstanding temperatures

as high as 70°C, the light grids may

be put into action swiftly thanks to

their simple software configuration

and plug-and-play installation. Clearly

visible LEDs also enable immediate

on-site diagnostics, reducing downtimes.

Furthermore, the durable aluminium

housing and protection rating IP65/67

in accordance with EN 60529 ensure

that the optoelectronic protective

devices perform reliably even in adverse

environmental situations.

The SLC4 series safety light curtains are

perfect for protecting fingers and hands

in the machine's danger zone. When

the machine is used frequently, they

cut access times compared to physical

guards, increasing production.

Advanced functionalities

like muting ensure

safe material flow and

contribute to

cost-effective

material

supply and

removal.

Cascading two

devices enables vertical

access and horizontal

presence monitoring in a single system.

The SLC4 safety light curtains, like the

SLG4 safety light grids, have a simple

software-free configuration and the

ability to do quick on-site diagnostics.

This improves productivity and safety in

industrial applications.

MF-Oxy-Comp

The oxygen sensor MF-

Oxy-Comp has been

specially developed for use

in composting plants. The

materials used meet the high

requirements of this field of

application. The measurement

method is based on a dynamic

process at two zirconium

dioxide slices, which form a

hermetically sealed chamber.

The entire measuring range is

linear.

During operation the sensor

system monitors its own

function and reports in case

of hardware and sensor

malfunction.

The calibration is done

without reference gas in

atmospheric air. The output

of the measurement values

takes place via an analog (4-

20mA) and a digital channel,

the latter transmits the error

messages.

The oxygen sensor MF-Oxy-

Comp is designed for the

measuring range 0.1 to 25

vol% oxygen and equipped

with an analog interface with

4-20mA and has a digital

output as well.

Introducing BALEiD by PAAL

We all agree the ‘cradle to

grave’ material traceability

is the goal that we should

all be aspiring to, but bale

identification has not been

reliable and has depended on

inefficient manual processes.

Let us introduce you to the

new, patented BALEiD by

PAAL system, which is set to

revolutionise traceability within

the industry.

Let us allow you to shake off the

limitations of manual process

and bring you an efficient closed

loop patented system. It is now

possible to generate, print and attach a label to each

bale automatically and securely.

to the bale. The patented PAAL

applicator has achieved this

and is linked to a label printer.

With this set up it is possible to

automatically generate, print

and attach each label to a bale

that shows whatever relevant

information that is contained

within the baler control system.

We appreciate a huge amount

of work and effort goes into

producing a bale and now for

the first time BALEiD by PAAL

enables the complete picture

to be captured in a convenient

label. Not only will this system

capture the fundamentals such

as date/time/location and material type, it can also

track each bale individually for shipments.

Water, Energy & Environment Update

such risks are addressed prior to despatch.

The scanning of the RFID tags on the bales, the

end processor receives, updates the RFID database.

This results in the provision of evidence for the

recycler that the material has been processed in a

certain way, giving the necessary ‘cradle to grave’

traceability.

Our initial challenge was to devise the process that

would automatically and securely attach the label

Let us open up a world of opportunities for your

waste management system, by attaching a label

Cleaning Update

The new era of robotic cleaning

Industrial and commercial cleaning has faced

a multitude of challenges post-Brexit with a

record high of cleaning operator shortages

since 2022. With increased demand across the

sector, many companies are increasingly turning

to the innovative world of robotic cleaning.

The future is here today. Autonomous Mobile Robots

(AMR) are powered to clean narrow, hard to reach

spaces, allowing staff to prioritise other tasks at

hand. In large-scale warehouses and factories, these

machines are designed with safety in mind, offering

cordless cleaning and eliminating slip hazards in

seconds.

Nimble robots

Introducing the next generation of robotic floor

scrubbers from Tennant. In partnership with

Brain Corp: advanced AI enabled intelligence, the

geniuses at Tennant have invented world-class

robotic cleaners. With optional ec-H20 NanoClean ® ,

sustainable cleaning has arrived with nanobubble

technology, reducing the amount of detergent and

water needed.

The X4 ROVR Autonomous Floor Scrubber is the

latest addition to the robotic cleaning machine

family.

“Nimble is the best way to describe the X4 - with

advanced manoeuvrability, this scrubber can easily

clean those hard-to-reach spots, with a cleaning path

of 500mm. The estimated coverage is up to 1,860m²

(per solution tank), powered by lithium-Ion battery,

heralding the renewable energy era. That’s a run time

of approximately 2.5 hours and with a sound level

as low as 62dBA, the hearing of workers is protected.

Designed with the end-user in mind, the X4 can be

programmed quickly with as little as three steps

on the intuitive touch screen. Tennant understands

the pain points of the industry and the X4 has

programmable colour-coded maintenance: yellow

for daily and blue for monthly maintenance tasks,”

explains Jamie Harris, Head of Industrial Sales UK &

Ireland, Tennant UK.

History of expertise

Multi-award-winning Tennant Company was

established over 150 years in 1870 by George H

Tennant, who after selling wooden flooring realised

there were no cleaning products available. Not

to be defeated, he simply invented floor polish

and the company grew from there. In 1932, the

first motorised floor cleaning equipment came to

market and by 1947, the first vacuum-equipped

power sweeper arrived in the industrial sector. What

followed over successive

decades was a series of

world and industry-firsts,

marking Tennant as a

global leader in innovation

and R&D.

The full-range includes:

scrubber-dryers, sweepers,

sweeper scrubbers,

extractors and vacuums

across a diverse range of

sectors from healthcare,

retail, industrial to

commercial. Alongside the

nimble X4 ROVR, Tennant

also offers the T16AMR,

the worlds-first robotic cleaning machine designed

for industrial and manufacturing facilities.

Solid UK presence

Tennant UK has been operational for over thirty years

with a Northampton office and service centre in

Bolton. With a lion’s share of the market, Tennant’s

products can be found across 98% of the UK market

from large supermarkets to purpose-built facilities.

Jamie Harris oversees the industrial division, with

the aggregate sector for example favouring Tennant

machinery to reduce silica dust exposure across

factories. Silica dust is a huge health & safety

challenge and relies heavily on optimised cleaning

practices to reach OSHA compliance. With cutting

edge HEPA-filtration approved systems, Tennant is

proud to be supporting cleaner, healthier workplaces

across the UK.

“We have many go-products such as the 800

Industrial Ride-on Sweeper and multi-functional

M30 Ride-on Sweeper Scrubber. The 800 is top of the

class, with wide cleaning path, quad filtering system

and robust steel construction, this sweeper can

handle heavy-duty cleaning indoors and outdoors.

Precision-designed for the harshest environments,

it can capture cement dust, pellets, rocks and grass,

leaving a clean path in its wake. The M30 Ride-on

Sweeper Scrubber offers optimised sweeping and

scrubbing at every wet or dry turn with FloorSmart ®

integrated cleaning system technology. The ec-H20

technology offers smooth delivery, with up to 70%

less water used.

“If you’re looking to have a return-on-investment,

we can offer world-class services and products as

an asset not expense. We offer sustainable best

practices for a greener era: our products provide

cleaner working conditions for staff, with less

chemicals and airborne gases and dust.

“We have an expert team of over 60 field service

engineers to support repair and maintenance round

the clock and with our world-leading Autonomous

Mobile Robots, Tennant is trailblazing the age of

robotics.”

UDLEY INDUSTRIES has launched a

Dseries of new ‘pull-down’ soap and

paper towel dispensers, which represent

the latest additions to its ‘Classic Behindthe-Mirror’

range.

The new units include a touch-free 2-litre

soap dispenser and large capacity paper

towel dispenser. They are designed to

operate from behind a mirror or panel and

are intended principally for incorporation

into bespoke cabinets.

The distinctive ‘pull down’ feature

of the new products supports easy

replenishment; the new units feature

lockable sliding cartridges. They drop

down below the bottom of the cabinet,

providing easy access to the soap and

paper towel containers. Once refilled, they

can be raised back and locked in place to

protect the consumables from tampering.

In this respect, they differ from many other

cabinet systems, which typically require

the front-facing mirror to be opened

outward like a door.

All the dispensers in the range are

designed to be easy to install. They require

an aperture to be cut into the cabinet’s

base; the dispenser is then inserted and

screwed into position. Detailed technical

data and installation guides are available.

Supported by a 10 year warranty, all the

products in the range have been designed

by our team and are manufactured at our

production facility in Lytham, Lancashire.

Specification details for the new Behindthe-Mirror

dispensers are available at

Schmersal now also sells a safe laser scanner on the

European market

The safe laser scanner UAM-05LP offers

maximum vewrsatility for safe area monitoring

The Schmersal Group continues to expand

its range of products for safe area

monitoring: the company is now selling the

UAM-05LP safety laser scanner from Japanese

manufacturer Hokuyo in Europe, beginning

with markets in Germany, France, Austria and

Switzerland. The safety scanner is characterised

by its extremely compact design and low

weight, as well as its flexible integration

options and high safety standards. This helps

it to ensure maximum personal protection in

logistics, manufacturing & the process industry.

Contactless protective devices, such as

laser scanners, offer many benefits in the

implementation of safety requirements. In

contrast to guard fences and guard doors, there

is no manual opening and closing requirement,

and they do not impede materials transport.

In addition, they also enable a clearer view of

machinery and processes.

The UAM safety laser scanner handles presence

control on stationary machinery and robot

systems, with the UAM’s sensor utilising

Why should you service and

maintain a safety shower

aintaining a safety shower is crucial for

Mensuring its optimal performance and

effectiveness during emergency situations.

Here are several reasons why maintaining a

safety shower is essential:

infrared beams to scan the environment and

detect the entry of people and objects into

the safety zone. This also allows the Hokuyo

UAM to achieve a wide range: with a detection

range of up to 270°, a safety clearance of up to

5m and a warning detection area of 20m, the

laser scanner can be used in various machinery

safety applications.

The laser scanner can be easily configured for

a wide range of uses and also has the ability to

monitor two hazardous areas at the same time,

eg. two adjacent robots. Each of the two safety

zones switches its own OSSD output.

Furthermore, the safety laser scanner is also

able to undertake access control as well as

arm and hand protection for safety-critical

areas in work zones, eg. as part of insertion and

assembly workflows.

Another advantage of the Hokuyo laser scanner

is its encoder input: with the help of encoders,

the speed and direction of travel of automated

guided vehicles (AGVs) are transferred to the

laser scanner, so that the safety zones can be

dynamically adjusted to stop the AGV in case

of danger.

The Hokuyo UAM-05LP is suitable for use in

machinery safety applications up to PL d, Cat. 3

in accordance with EN ISO 13849 and SIL 2 in

accordance with IEC 61508.
