32 MACHINERY UPDATE MARCH/APRIL <strong>2021</strong> www.machineryupdate.co.uk COVID-19 Partnership builds on an UV-C range of products Latest COVID-secure scanners Making the warehouse C-19 secure As warehouse equipment is often touched by many people, OEM Automatic is now supplying Datalogic’s range of COVIDsecure barcode scanners. Notably, the HandScanner which allows a worker to scan freely with the back of the hand and the Gryphon 4200 series which is flexible and disinfectantready. Both are COVID-secure, says OEM, and all their features lead to improved productivity and a positive improvement to the bottom line. The HandScanner has a small footprint and is held on the wrist to minimise any potential virus transmission. In addition, it is unobtrusive, is more resistant, and is not exposed to bumps and knocks as well as being ergonomic, comfortable and light. In operation, it delivers high 1D and 2D bar code scanning accuracy which reduces scanning times by about 4 seconds per scan. It can cover a full working shift and the 2-slot charging station charges the battery in only two hours. A charged device can be used for up to 15 hours and 10,000 scans. Model choices include a standard HandScanner which is made for a closer scanning range of 10-80 cm (3.9 to 31.5 in), while the mid-range version covers a wider range of 30-150 cm (11.8 to 59 in). T 0116 284 9900 W www.oem.co.uk Jenton has been appointed as a value added partner by Signify, (formerly Philips Lighting) for its range of UV-C disinfection products. This new partnership will extend the range of Jenton’s JenAct brand of UV-C products that are now being adopted by many users in the fight against COVID-19. “This is great synergy,” says Richard Little, managing director of Jenton. “We already put Signify lamps into our own equipment and the Signify range of passive upper air disinfection systems will sit alongside our own, established active systems. “Signify also offers a range of UV disinfection cabinets to complement the UV conveyors that we manufacture.” JenAct UV equipment has seen an increase in demand in the battle against COVID-19 and food companies have a wide range of demands and The range of UV-C disinfection products manufactured by Signify is available in the UK from Jenton applications for disinfecting both surfaces and in the air. But, advises the company, it is vital to approach the issue in a scientific way. There is a vast body of evidence that links the dose and irradiance of UV-C to its effect on moulds, bacteria and viruses and JenAct has developed modelling software that allows confident predictions of performance. Last year, Signify sponsored research carried out at Boston University which confirmed the efficacy of UV-C on SARS- CoV-2 and this data is included in the JenAct models. Continuous labelling speeds pharma production capacity To speed up the delivery of products such as COVID-19 vaccines, Herma is Herma’s pharma labeller offering a continuous labelling process on its pharmaceutical wrap-around labeller called the 132M HC. New EasySplicer and EasyCutter modules have been devised as add-ons, and these allow label reels to be changed and the backing paper disposed of without the machine having to come to a standstill. T 01440 763366 W www.herma-labelling machines.co.uk “There are many UV-C solutions on the market,” explains Little “but potential users should check that there is empirical evidence that UV-C will do what’s required in each application – either by using validated models or by carrying out direct tests, for instance using surrogate bacteria”. JenAct also supplies UV-C monitoring equipment, BMS connectivity and data management for validation and control.
