Irish Drink Producers Employ Euromark Printers

Euromark, a supplier of continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers and barcode systems, has received a number of orders from Irish beverage producers, such as Diageo, Antrim Hills and Cooley Distilleries. Equipment supplied by Euromark includes a range of Hitachi CIJ printers, barcode systems and portable print systems, which are all supported by the company's technical support. One of Euromark's earliest Irish customers, which is already seeing a return on its investment, is Dublin-based premium drinks business Diageo, who purchased three Hitachi coders following a successful trial of the equipment.

Diageo's continuous improvement engineering trainer, Chris Grehan, said the company had been impressed by Euromark's level of service, knowledge and assistance. The three Hitachi printers that Diageo has on site are being used to track and trace information on beer kegs and achieving more than 1,000 impressions per hour. Diageo has reported the Hitachis to be extremely reliable and economical in terms of consumables, which it also orders directly through Euromark.

Cooley Distillery, which is claimed to be the only independent Irish-owned whiskey distillery, also turned to Euromark for its Hitachi printers. Euromark supplied two Hitachi coders, which are being used to batch code up to 10,000 various sized and shaped whiskey bottles a day. Representatives from the distillery said they found the equipment to be low maintenance and reliable. Other services from Euromark include waste disposal and ink recovery applications, training courses, bespoke marking applications and customised software.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
