INDuSTRY PRODuCTS ing their new rapid E. coli product. Vantage Foods prides itself on using leading edge technology such as FoodChek™-E. coli to compliment our best business practices philosophy of distributing the highest quality and safest products to our customers.” Sandy MacPherson, chairman of the executive operating committee of Vacci-Test, stated “Our FoodChek™-E. coli test will have a major impact for both regulatory agencies and meat-processors. Potential food contaminants such as E. coli O157:H7 can now be tested on site and identified prior to the end of a production shift. FoodChek™-E. coli eliminates the need for slaughterhouses and meatprocessors to hold finished products in cold storage until testing can be completed by off-site third parties.” Vacci-Test Corporation 403.269.9424 Calgary, Alberta, Canada www.vaccitest.com Over the past 30 years, more than 300 dust explosions have killed more than 120 workers in grain silos, sugar plants, and food processing plants. In 2008, after a catastrophic dust explosion in a Georgia sugar factory, the US House of Representatives passed a bill requiring the Occupational Safety and Hazards Administration (OSHA) to set standards for regulating combustible dusts. All this has been carefully observed by Marv Deam, CEO of Powder-Solutions, Inc., and he believes his company has a worthwhile product to offer any industry dealing with production of bulk powders, dusts, or granular products. “Now more than ever, it is imperative that bulk powder processing plants are prepared with equipment that not only is efficient during processing, but also protects from the possibility of plant explosions,” states Mr. Deam. “Sophisticated explosion venting and suppression systems can only be successful if the primary explosion is contained within the process equipment. Independent lab tests have confirmed that whereas the hose clamp is likely to release in the event of an internal explosion, the BFM™ fitting distends with the sudden pressure shock, but it does not fail.” Available from Powder-Solutions since 2007, the BFM fitting was initially designed for food and pharmaceutical production facilities to stop powder leakage from process piping. “We see now that there are opportunities in disparate industries, where the inherent design of the BFM™ fitting has great potential to increase safety in a wide variety of industrial applications.” The BFM™ fitting system represents a new paradigm in flexible Eriez Eriez® Rota-Grates® Remove Clogging Contaminants from Processing Lines E riez® Rota-Grates® feature a unique rotating design to remove both large and small ferrous contaminants that tend to stick, clog and bridge when passed through flat grate magnets. Rota-Grates provide exceptional efficiency on many finely ground cohesive materials such as gypsum, barium carbonate, Fuller’s earth, lime, cohesive chemicals, confectionary sugar, cornstarch, cocoa, flour, wood flour and fibrous materials. Eriez Rota-Grates feature a rugged structure including magnetic elements that are completely encased and fastened to stainless steel end plates. The durable units are equipped with steel shaft and hubs to ensure many years of service. Rota-Grates are offered in 24 sizes, including multiple lengths and widths. Standard units allow simple manual cleaning, but a self-cleaning Rota-Grate model is available for applications where routine cleaning is problematic. Rota-Grates in housing are ideal for dusty installations where an enclosed unit is necessary. Optional features include adapters to transition the product flow into grate housing, removable tube assemblies for easy cleaning and explosion-proof drives for hazardous operations.

Helps Reduce Risks of Bulk Powder Processing Plant Explosions owder-Solutions, Inc., American distributors of the USDAaccepted/3-A certified BFM™ fitting, expresses the need for bulk powder processing plants to incorporate appropriate explosion mitigation procedures and equipment to ensure the safety of both plant and personnel.
