tachments and scoops can be built
to match specific carts and containers.
Additional options include PLC
controls, hydraulic lock systems for
carts, thermo oil heater, side-entry
scoop and dumper enclosures. The
dumper has a structural steel frame
and high-tensile steel pivot shaft for
durability and stability. This machine
has a maximum dump height of 84
in. and a maximum capacity of 8,000
lb.- SP Industries, Hopkins, Mich.

New adhesive enables labels
with reduced weight and waste
The patented Tego RC adhesives
are ultraviolet-curing silicones that
perform as release coatings for selfadhesive
labels, providing a more
environmentally friendly, linerless alternative
to traditional labels (photo).
By eliminating the need for a traditional
peel-off release liner (the part
of a traditional label that is discarded
and typically makes up 40% of the
weight of a label), this product helps
to conserve resources and reduce
material costs. Using Tego RC silicones,
linerless labels can be rolled
up without sticking to one another,
says the company. These silicones
are set and cured not using heat,
as is the case of conventional selfadhesive
systems, but rather using
ultraviolet (UV) radiation in a fraction
of a second, which helps to reduce
energy consumption and conserve
the label materials required, in applications
related to food packaging
and labeling of products for use during
transportation and logisics management.

Packaging reduces exposure
to moisture and oxygen
The Duma Twist-Off Protect is a
multilayer plastic container (photo)
that is said to have improved barrier
properties to protect the package
contents against degradation that
can happen as a result of moisture
vapor and oxygen permeability. It is
the first plastic container with a multilayer
structure manufactured in an
injection blow-molding process, says
the manufacturer. U.S. Pharmaceopeia
and ASTM F 1307 test data
confirm that the container admits
far lower levels of vapor and oxygen
than other standard solutions on
the market, says the manufacturer.
Compared to extrusion blow-molded
containers, it provides extremely
good barrier properties due to better
control of geometry and thickness.-

Hoist expands capabilities of
this bulk bag discharger
The customized Spider-Lift bag lifting
frame (photo) has a patented
design that uses 4--6-in. square
steel structural tube main frame. The
unit features an electric chain hoist
with ground-level pendant control
and a Spider-Lift bag-lifting frame.
The system includes the company's
Flo-Master bulk bag massaging system
to promote material flow, and
a stainless-steel Seal-Master round
bag spout access chamber and custom
stainless steel discharge transition.
The unit features a pneumatic
slide gate and a volumetric feeder for
accurate feeding of materials into the
process. A stainless-steel pneumatic
bag spout-clamping system for dusttight
discharge is also included.-

Gain better control of loading
and unloading operations
The P3 All-Around Spring Level
Loader (photo) uses a series of
springs to improve the efficiency of
pallet loading and unloading operations.
A system of heavy-duty springs
automatically lowers or raises a pallet
as weight is added or removed. By
doing so, the P3 Spring Level Loader
maintains the top layer of boxes at
an easy-to-access position. A turnable
ring on the top of the unit allows
the user to rotate the load so he or
she can remain in the same position
throughout the loading or unloading
process, eliminating the need to walk
around the pallet. A compact base
design allows workers unubstructed
access to loads. All of the P3 Spring
components fit within the diameter of
the turntable ring, so the worker can
stand close to the unit at any position
around the ring. The P3 Spring
can accommodate loads from 400
to 4,500 lb.- Presto Lifts, Inc.,
