COOLING TOWERS • CTI Certified • Low Drift Certified • Lowest Energy Consumption • Cross Flow, Counter Flow And Closed Circuit • Containerised Towers 36 MAY 2016 COOLING TOWERS Machinetech import and distribute water chillers, water heaters, and ‘high-spec’ evaporative cooling towers (low drift & CTI certified). Machinetech’s chosen supplier of cooling towers have had overwhelming success with sales of the Mesan containerised range of cooling towers that are fully assembled at the factory, and then split into sections to be shipped globally to site for easy and very quick installation, enabling a more affordable tower. The cooling towers, which can be a single unit, or of multiple unit configuration, are unloaded and the sections mounted and bolted together to create a near finished tower. Mesan offer standard, low noise, and super low noise, round, square, rectangular, modular, containerised, stainless steel and closed circuit. The fan blades are extruded alloy profile that are CNC machined for precision balancing. We can offer specialised towers. Mesan are now becoming world leaders in the field of cooling towers.

CONVEYOR DEMAND MEETS BOOMING PIPFRUIT SECTOR The New Zealand pipfruit sector is riding a wave of success, with the current season up four per cent on last year and expected to increase by 17 per cent next season. With that growth has come many packing facility expansions and new developments, and EQM’s strong track record of developing effective and efficient packing and processing systems has seen the company in high demand. Just recently EQM designed and then supplied a 28 metre band-driven carton packing system at one of Hawke’s Bay’s leading apple companies. EQM’s Anthony Bloxham says the company was asked to draw up some designs and quote for a new automated process that moves apple cartons along the conveyor to be closed and taped, then stacked on pallets. “The brief was to make the system ergonomically fit to minimise the lifting of boxes on and off the system,” he says. Other considerations included that it be designed so that boxes could be taken off along the conveyor and quality checked, as well as provisions for accumulating. The system uses two STM three-phase shaft-mounted gear drives, and is decked out in company colours and branding in all parts of the facility thanks to EQM powder-coating appropriately. The conveyor starts at a height of 500mm and then inclines to 900mm so that operators can stand and tape at an ergonomic height. Bloxham says EQM promised to have the job completed within a six-week timeframe, and met the deadline in time for the busy harvest and packing season. Bloxham says that although there has been significant technology advancements in food technology, there are still systems like this one that are reliable. “We did our first carton conveyor system in 1995 and they’re still one of the best systems to use,” he says.
