This enables steam plant operatorsto reduce energy consumption, save watertreatment costs, increase productivity and meetBG01 standards. With a pressurised deaerator system,feedwater can be heated to greater than 100°Cwithout boiling off to steam, removing virtuallyall of the dissolved gases without the need forwater treatment chemicals. Make-up water isbroken into small droplets and surrounded bysteam that is supplied to the deaerator head in order to scrub the dissolved gases, which are thenexpelled through controlled venting.Oxygen levels in the feedwater are reduced to 0.02 mg/l of water – a thousand times less than canbe achieved with a conventional atmospheric deaerator system. Removal of oxygen is importantbecause untreated boiler water would corrode the boiler and pipework, increasing maintenance andrepair costs and reducing productivity.SKF Food Grade Lubricants enhancesafety and reliabilitySKF has launched a range ofFood Grade Lubricants toincrease reliability and safety.The specially developedproducts are NSF/H1, Kosherand Halal approved.The food industry requireslubricants that not only offerstandard lubricating propertiesto resist wear, friction, corrosionand oxidation but are also foodgrade, internationally approvedand offer the ability to performunder the stringent conditions ofthe manufacturing environments.Jean Christophe Brossard, Global Manager, Food & Beverage at SKF,says, “Good lubrication management practices are vital for our customers.Lubrication influences efficiency of assets and energy consumption whileinappropriate practices can impact food safety. Launching these lubricantsis strengthening SKF’s ability to support customers with food gradelubricants plant wide, in line with HACCP processes.“Combined with our lubrication systems, re-lubrication free solutions andlubrication management knowledge, this gives our customers many optionsfor optimising lubrication management on site.”Mercadona stays fresh with TGWAutomatedwarehouse solutionsprovider TGW hasprovided Mercadonawith a new full crateorder picking system,which enables freshproduce totes to bepicked and ready fordispatch in less than sixhours.Mercadona has anextensive network ofdistribution centresserving itssupermarketsthroughout Spain.

TGW’ssystem incorporates an efficient order picking solution for fresh fruit andvegetables, which utilises picking robots in the form of overhead gantry ASRmachines. To manage over three hundred varieties of fresh goods at the DC,TGW installed eight overhead gantry ASR machines capable of handling upto 30,000 totes per day.Lorien helps biscuit manufacturers to meet newlegislationLorien Engineering Solutions is helpinga leading biscuit manufacturer to replaceits refrigeration equipment.The Burton-based project managementspecialist is on site at Fox’s Biscuits’Uttoxeter manufacturing facility, where it isreplacing existing R22 based refrigerationsystems with propylene glycol basedunits.The biscuit manufacturer, which is partof 2 Sisters Food Group, is meeting new regulations which state that from January 2015, it will beillegal to maintain or repair air conditioning systems that use R22 refrigerant. Studies have shownthat they have a detrimental effect on the ozone layer. The project is being phased to minimise production disruption and is scheduled to complete inOctober.Hygiene Group takes onHarbro silosOne of Scotland’s leading livestock nutritionproducers has turned to Hygiene Group toundertake silo cleaning, a significant project whichcovers four sites and more than 120 individualstorage silos. Harbro produces high quality feed for livestockand dairy farmers. As its customers supply themajor UK supermarkets with meat and dairyproducts, Harbro itself undergoes regular annualaudits as a requirement of UFAS, the feed tradequality assurance body. With hygiene as part ofthis requirement and therefore of greatimportance to Harbro, a wide-ranging project toinspect and clean all 120 silos commenced inmid-2014.Chris Armstrong, Mobile Projects Manager atHygiene explains: “Each silo presents a uniquechallenge, from the sheer size of a 1,000 tonne, 23-metre high silo to the problems posed by top-access structures, but 30 years of experience plusup-to-date confined space training gives us thesolutions to even the most complex tasks.” 6 Food & Drink Internationalwww.fdiforum.net06-07_Layout 1 20/10/2014 09:06 Page 1ROCOL extends metal detectabilityin lubricants packagingFood gradelubricants specialistROCOL has addedadditional safetydimension to itsFOODLUBE productrange with theintroduction ofDETEX metaldetectable caps on allgrease cartridges.The move followsoverwhelming customer approval for the introduction of DETEX actuatorsand caps on all ROCOL NSF registered FOODLUBE aerosols last year, andROCOL says that by extending this to cover grease cartridges they can helpmaintenance engineers in food processing environments further reduce therisk of foreign object contamination.
