Welcome to the October digital issue of Factory Equipment!
Editor’s comment: “UK manufacturing is showing no signs of slowing down – those were the words of PPMA Group CEO, Andrew Mint, at the PPMA Show last month. Judging by the new product launches and demonstrations that took place across the exhibition floor, not to mention the innovation that was celebrated at the Group Industry Awards on the evening of the first show day, I think this statement rings true – read the full review on page 5.
“Elsewhere, we explore the importance of health and safety in industrial environments with a look at anti-fatigue solutions for employees who stand up for long periods of time. Also, tapping into a supplier’s knowledge of workplace safety can help when choosing the right PPE for certain jobs, or to ensure safety tests are carried out on machines and electrical items to avoid potential hazards.
“Also, when it comes to installing or upgrading a compressed air system, Mattei says that all the related pipework needs reviewing too as it can directly affect the performance of a compressor and its overall efficiency. Read about the different material options and also what help is available when making these decisions.
“As well as this, BITO Storage Systems installs its PROflow Active pallet live storage system in an animal feed producer’s new distribution centre in Germany, helping the company save hundreds of thousands of Euros through maximised pallet availability and better use of warehouse space.”
