HI-LINE INDUSTRIES, a UK-based leader in the design, manufacture and installation of energyefficient compressed air purification equipment says it is well known for the long-standing support it provides to the local sporting community in Burton upon Trent. The company is a main sponsor at both Burton Albion Football Club and Burton Rugby Football Club. Now, Hiline’s Managing Director Steve Smith is adding to this tradition by raising thousands of pounds for Cancer Research UK through his endeavours in White Collar Boxing, a series of high-profile fundraising events organised by Ultra, the UK’s largest charity sports organisation. Ultra White Collar Boxing (UWCB) is an opportunity for people to experience the wonderful world of boxing in a safe and enjoyable environment, while simultaneously raising money for Cancer Research UK (CRUK) and getting into shape. The organisation is a spin-off of the original White Collar Boxing, which began in New York in 1988 when two ‘white collar’ workers, a doctor and an attorney, trained for a few weeks before boxing each other at a black-tie event. UCWB commenced in 2009, becoming a corporate partner of CRUK in 2013. Today, the organisation is one of CRUK’s largest fundraising partners, donating over £25 million to date.

As such they can operate faultlessly and maintain accurate temperature control 24/7 under highly differing, and abruptly fluctuating operating conditions,” said Dave Palmer General Manager for UK and Ireland at ICS Cool Energy. “Today, we are expanding our portfolio taking another step in our journey to help customers reduce their impact on the environment. Introducing new units with the lowest GWP refrigerants available for these technologies, we give our customers more options to achieve increased productivity, high precision, and elevated product quality with highest environmental awareness.” w| www.icscoolenergy.com International supply chain solutions provider TOUCHPATH has announced it is launching the latest version of its ‘Touch WMS’ warehouse management system, for which it is claiming a number of industry firsts centred on performance optimisation. Advanced, drag and drop load planning now ensures that pallets are loaded onto a trailer in the correct sequence to match the relevant load plan, avoiding costly incorrect loading. [see image] The Touch WMS ‘power picking command centre’ is now highly granular, allowing individual picks to be assigned to an individual picker while tracking their progress in real time on a dedicated screen. Users can now also include three unique KPI performance screens of their choice with their Touch WMS system, to optimise the tracking and measurement of their priority warehouse processes. w| www.touchpath.com New planet-friendly process chillers 34 | Plant & Works Engineering www.pwemag.co.uk June/July 2023 Industry Update Warehouse management system Push for fire safety with cable stripper launch Knockout performance for charity C.K TOOLS, has announced it has launched a range of cable strippers designed to tackle low smoke zero hydrogen (LS0H) cable. Use of LS0H cable is increasing as specifiers bid to improve fire safety, but stripping this much tougher material is a challenge. Now widespread in Ireland and the USA, use of LS0H cable is on the rise in the UK. While PVC cable jacketing may be fire resistant, it can generate around 50% its weight in smoke when exposed to high heat or flames. This thick, acrid smoke is highly toxic, corrosive, and can damage electrical equipment. Toxic smoke inhalation causes more fire-related deaths than fires themselves. As such, many specifiers are opting to replace PVC or other cable jacketing with LS0H. w| www.ck-tools.com Railway fastenings manufacturer Pandrol has installed a THORWORLD modular loading dock and ramp to replace its previous Thorworld solution, which had successfully delivered 15 years of service at the company’s Worksop facility. The new solution, tailored to Pandrol’s needs, offers enhanced throughput and safety benefits. “Our team thought highly of the previous ramp, but it was getting old and needed replacing,” said Jason Moody, Long Days Team Leader at Pandrol. “We wanted to bring our loading system into the 21st century and Thorworld remained our first choice, even after checking alternative options.” Pandrol approached Darmax, Thorworld’s sales partner, to oversee the installation of a bespoke Thorworld solution which paired a modular loading dock with a mobile ramp. This combination allows Pandrol to detach the ramp when needed, whilst also allowing for use during power outages. w| www.thorworld.co.uk Upgraded loading dock keeps deliveries on track Steve Smith and opponent Matt Long prior to their Ultra White Collar Boxing charity fight)
