Labor-friendly safety features
Food safety and sanitation are other vital factors to consider in the
daily operations of your instore bakeries and delis. Innoseal Systems,
Inc., the manufacturer and distributor of the popular InnoSealer
Tamper-Evident Bag Closure System, provides labor savings and cost
reduction directly to the user. The labor management team of one
prominent supermarket chain conducted a time-motion efficiency
study and concluded that the InnoSealer generated in excess of 50%
labor savings vs. using wire ties.
Further, there are other labor-saving benefits because of its ease of
use and fast and simple cleanup. The sealer is a completely closed
sealing system. This means that the seal is suitable for use in situations
with extensive hygiene protocols. It also makes cleaning easy. The
InnoSealer itself is remarkably sophisticated, constructed of Hostaform
ABS, a very high impact ballistic plastic and extremely stain resistant. It
is the same plastic used for telephones and football helmets.
The InnoSeal System applies a special tape made of natural rubber
plasticized adhesives to the neck of the bag. The result is a tape seal
that can be opened and resealed as often as required. The InnoSeal
also applies a paper tab between the two ends of tape.
Another advantage to the system is the seven-day color coding system
that supports the International Food Labeling regulations. Color

coding allows you to save on labor costs by managing inventory more
efficiently. Color codes are known by your employees but not recognizable by customers, making it an effective system.
From a sustainability standpoint, you also gain important labor-saving
benefits because the InnoSeal has a low environmental impact, saving
you money and helping the environment at the same time.
The InnoSeal reduces landfill waste by more than 60% over twist
ties and 90% over plastic tabs by having a lower mass, lower volume
closure. The InnoSeal is the greenest bag closure system available
today.
On the equipment front, Power Soak Systems features the new Silent
Alert System, which provides a clear and noticeable alert to communicate system status in a silent and unobtrusive manner, using LED light.
The Silent Alert System was selected as a 2013 NAFEM “What’s Hot,
What’s Cool” innovation spotlight.
Available on the PS-225 system, the Silent Alert System is unique to
the entire kitchen equipment industry. By utilizing a non-line-of-sight
visual alert, the system offers the ability to illuminate the floor under
the Power Soak (or with an optional remote wireless system, any
surface in the kitchen can be illuminated), alerting staff and managers
of action needed, but completely out of sight from customers.

A time-motion efficiency
study by a supermarket
chain concluded the
InnoSealer generated
in excess of 50% labor
savings vs. wire ties.
