The Big Ass Fan Company's large diameter, low speed fans prevent heat-related illnesses,
improve winter dexterity and reduce heat bills, remove slippery condensation from floors, increase the effectiveness of ventilation systems and reduce noise in warehouses. The Powerfoil X2.0 offers a 28% increase in coverage area and a 15-year non-prorated warranty.  It features AirFences, fixed aerodynamic devices applied along the airfoil to break up the air and redirect the fan's air velocity profile.The Big Ass Fan Company

computers (desktops, towers, or laptops), printers, scales, barcode scanners, and most other small electronic equipment to wherever they are needed.  An on-board battery can power up to four devices simultaneously for 8-10 hours of normal use.  Instead of walking back and forth from a deskbound computer to printers and other devices used in tasks such as inventory management, process control, on-demand label printing, product testing, order picking, cross-docking, weighing, scanning, etc., all necessary equipment can be brought to where the work is taking place.  Newcastle Systems

Radiopaque ProStack pallets from Polymer Solutions International Inc. are ideal for use in food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing applications. Because the pallet is clearly visible in imaging inspections common in cleanroom and processing areas, it's easier to detect product contaminants  when x-ray and fluoroscopy imaging are used as part of the inspection and quality control processes. The pallets are rated for a 30,000 pound static load, or a 5,000 pound dynamic load, are edge rackable to 2,200 pounds, offer four-way fork entry and are made from 100% recyclable, FDA-approved high density polyethylene.  The radiopaque compound does not impair the pallet's recyclability.Polymer Solutions International

frequency) gear motor with GKR bevel gearbox, and the 8400 motec with VFC eco mode. DSD software ensures precision drive dimensioning by tailoring the drive system specifically to the application requirements.  By using DSD to select drive packages with MF motors, the user can achieve energy balance with efficient drive dimensioning.  DSD shows potential energy savings options, making it possible to compare several different solutions and ensure the right sized components for the material handling task. A single MF motor version can serve varied application for standardized logistics and inventory processes.  Lenze

(MXRP) cell that can deliver efficiency gains of 40% or more in building same-store pallets. MXRP combines RSW's adjustable-finger gripper and KUKA Systems' robotics and control system to streamline the building of pallets with mixed products and/or packaging at distribution centers. The MXRP gripper with Flex Strap technology makes it possible to position adjustable fingers at different levels to grip stock and load it on top of uneven layers.  This produces a denser, more store-friendly mixed pallet.KUKA Systems and RSWBooth #2012aCircle 173 or go to www.mhlnews.hotims.com/45555-173
