Thesystem combines 262 linear kilometres of fullyautomatedstorage with seven mini-cranes, six staffworkstations and 140,000 custom containers.Jerry Woodhouse, Managing Director, FKI LogistexEurope, explained, “Every inch of space is used toits maximum capacity. To this end, the containerswere custom-engineered to within 5% tolerance ofthe handling equipment, and also had to beconstructed from special material to eliminate thechemicals associated with conventional plastics,which would be harmful to the collection. It wastherefore vital to ensure that the critical engineeringtolerances were maintained throughout theinstallation, whilst never compromising on theimportance of caring for the collection of materialsbeing stored within the building. This delicatebalance required expert engineering managementwithin the overall management of the project, whichwas led by Owen Morgan, Senior Project Manager,FKI Logistex.”As the British Library is tasked with storing thecollection in perpetuity, the specification was acomplex one, which FKI Logistex more than met.Hence, the new storage unit will provide sufficientcapacity for expansion over the next ten yearsutilising the current warehouse footprint. Along withthis, FKI Logistex are supplying equipment with anunprecedented 70-year life expectancy so that it willnot be necessary to replace the system in itsentirety within that period.Reader Reply No.: 112051Eco-Friendlycleaning productsAshgrove SpecialistProducts working inpartnership with Solupak arepleased to announce thelaunch of a new exciting andenvironmentally friendlyproduct range for Multisurfacecleaning.The wide range of easy to use watersoluble powder and liquid sachets thatcan be either used in 500ml / 750mltrigger spray bottles for surfacecleaning or in 10 litre buckets for floorcleaning.The maximum performance cleaningproduct range includes;- Surface Sanitiser- All Purpose Cleaner- Floor Conditioner- Degreaser / Cleaner- Glass Cleaner- Washroom cleanerFeatures include;- User Friendly - Sachet is safe, fastand easy to use.
