Sausage
automation
Handtmann Inc. introduces
a new generation of sausage
manufacturing automation with its
Automatic Smoke Stick Transfer Unit
Model AST 340 that can replace two workers
per shift. The AST 340 automatically deposits
smoke sticks and loads sausage loops into smoke-house
trolleys. Traditional sausage linking/hanging lines require
at least three operators to handle the machinery, tie off the
casing ends and load the smoke house trolleys. The AST
340 robots automatically load five to six sticks per minute.
Handtmann offers users other benefits including superior
product hygiene from reduced human-product contact,
consistently rapid smoke trolley loading and dramatically
reduced production line errors. For more information, call
Handtmann Inc. at (847) 808-1100.

Stainless-steel keyboards
noax Technologies has developed two stainless-steel keyboards
with hygienic designs to accompany its industrial PCs and
industrial thin clients (ITCs). One has a protective film and
one functions on piezoelectric principles. Just like the IPCs,
these input devices have been
specially designed for use
in extremely
demanding conditions. They
can withstand
temperatures
from -20°C to
+55°C (-4°F
to 131°F) and
still function
despite fierce requirements. Their suitability for industrial
applications stems primarily from a completely sealed,
dust-free and waterproof housing made of V2A stainless
steel that is also grease-, oil- and chemical-resistant. These
keyboards have a robust, non-slip base and standard USB
ports. For more information, call noax Technologies at
(704) 992-1606, Ext. 201.
