he all-new lone worker Safety Watch is the first lone worker device that is able to communicate via Wi-Fi. The watch, which is 2G/3G/4G ready and uses Bluetooth Technology is ideal for those who work alone or remotely on site in complex buildings, where signal can be poor or non-existent, or when locating people in an emergency could take a long time. The powerful and technically advanced device allows lone workers to answer and receive calls over Wi-Fi or cell. Designed with safety in mind, the watch can raise alarms by detecting no movement, a fall or raise an alarm through the SOS button, which can be directed straight to our alarm receiving centre. For added pinpoint location accuracy the Safety Watch can be used in conjunction with Bluetooth Beacons, which can be

here there is a need to print larger text, graphics or barcodes onto primary or secondary packaging without compromising on quality, thermal transfer (TTO) has usually been the go-to technology – it’s clean, crisp and offers great adhesion to most porous and nonporous surfaces, providing the correct ribbon has been selected. However, the new Integra PP Razr 34 from Rotech can guarantee excellent resolution printing up to 34mm high, creating a seamless, consistent print on the majority of packaging types.

A need to reduce waste In today’s day and age, manufacturers are increasingly feeling the pressure to review their processes and look for ways that they can be made greener, and less wasteful. Coding and marking is no exception. While TTO is a well-established, reliable coding technology that will remain unchallenged for some applications i.e. printing entire ingredients declarations, cartridge-based alternatives, such as thermal inkjet (TIJ) and Piezo are very capable of matching the quality of print produced by thermal transfer, but with much less waste produced. There are no ribbons to contend with, just the ink needed to produce the desired format. These drop on demand printers are also a lot more compact, making them more energy-efficient and easier to integrate onto existing lines.
Printing up to 34mm high, the Razr eliminates the unwanted stitching of text and graphics from multiple printheads. The ink used offers excellent adhesion and resistance, making it ideal for printing onto shiny, non-porous surfaces, such as plastic or film. Other advantages of the system include its increased uptime in comparison to TTO and continuous inkjet (CIJ) – it starts up and shuts down instantaneously and the bleeding of the ink system and changing of the cartridge can be done without stopping production. Ideal for replacing labels The Integra PP Razr 34 is also proving a popular solution for direct printing onto packaging where labels would have previously been used. The razor-sharp print ensures that the codes remain readable by scanners – a crucial factor for those operation in logistics, where the shipping boxes need to be fully traced throughout their lifecycle. To further ensure reliability, the Razr has two separate nozzle channels that can be controlled individually. This means that if one fails, the other ensures that the print quality remains consistent. www.rotechmachines.com
Such a system is the new Integra PP Razr 34. The impressive Piezo system is capable of printing excellent quality prints – up to 900dpi – at high speeds (up to 150m/min at 300dpi).
Environmental Science Group Ltd unveils simplified website and new web address, reinforcing commitment to consumer-focused services
Their existing metal-seated valve design had to be improved and even replaced, and for good reasons. Their valves had only a single isolation design, and exposed the risk of leakage due to the number of potential leak paths they contained. The perfect solution would be for the valve design to have far fewer leak paths, metal-seating with zero-seat leakage, and a compact design that reduces overall space and weight.
Seamless high-resolution printing up to 34mm made possible with the Integra PP Razr 34
complete with actuators and utilisation of all ball valve operation. The team took onboard all of the technical requirements, used existing and proven valve technology and materials to create the perfect solution to this problem. It’s often said, that when engineers creatively let off steam, it usually results in some of the most amazing solutions, and this has been no exception. On completion of initial trials, the 2” DBB valves are to be installed on other UK and overseas processing plants.
