Cut-resistant gloves

Packaging film
Cryovac Rollshrink from Sealed Air
North America represents a new
packaging capability for processors
using Multivac R150, R250 and R550
systems and seeking the skin-tight
appearance of a bag with the loading and productivity efficiency of a
rollstock application. The package's
clarity and gloss make it visually appealing to retail shoppers and its high
vacuum delivers maximum product
freshness. For more information, call

Wells Lamont
Industry Group
has added a 10gauge VS glove
to its cut-resistant line. The
VS Series also
features 7- and
13-gauge versions available
in white or gray,
which
allow
processors
to
segregate gloves from one department to the next. The different gauges
offer a variety of cut resistant levels
as well as dexterity to fit many lightduty cut-resistant jobs. The VS Series
gloves provide a wire-free option in
the Whizard line and are made from a
combination of Spectra, fiberglass and
polyester. For more information, call
(800) 247-3295.

Yield improver

Pneumatic scissors
AirShirz air-powered scissors from
Bettcher Industries increase worker
productivity while reducing muscle
fatigue. Fully controllable blades allow
operators to use AirShirz just as they
would manual scissors in cutting applications ranging from wing trimming
to gizzard harvesting, yet they require
approximately 90 percent less muscle
activity to operate. New design enhancements significantly improve wear
characteristics. Long-life polymers
specially approved for use in food processing operations are now being used
for the servo link and drive link bushings. Based on 80 hours of use weekly,
blade life extends to six months if daily
buffing and weekly blade sharpening
are performed. For more information,
call (440) 965-4422.

Ceamgel 1313
from PL Thomas
is a cold-water
soluble Iota carrageenan for use
in raw, frozen
and marinated
meat and poultry products. It
allows processors to reduce
distribution
losses, ensure freeze-thaw stability and
make a juicier end product. Ceamgel
is suitable for injection. It also lowers
drip loss and syneresis in the packaging during transport, storage and display. For additional information, call
(973) 984-0900.
