The unit was installed at the Old Fleece, a former 18th Century coaching inn at Rooksmoor, near Stroud. The Old Fleece is part of the Cotswold Food Club's pubs and hotel portfolio. TK Refrigeration's managing director Tim Rogers and senior engineer Chris Pass carried out the installation at the Old Fleece. Tim is celebrating 40 years in the refrigeration industry, most of the time spent with TK Refrigeration, which operates within a 50-mile radius of its Gloucester base and employs ten people. The Cotswold Food Club conducted an energy efficiency survey at the Old Fleece and Tim suggested installing a J & E Hall ambient beer cooler. It was decided to locate the cooler in the cellar, which is above ground, where it was installed to operate in tandem with the existing J & E Hall Cellar Cooler – a JCC2-50E system, previously installed by TK Refriger- ation. The ambient beer cooler unit was supplied by the Gloucester branch of FSW. The J & E Hall ambient beer cooler draws in cold air from outside and, as it contains no refrigerants, employs a greener method of cooling. This also helps to reduce servicing costs and extends the life of the main cellar cooling system. Cotswold Food Club operations manager Ben Powell said: "The ambient beer cooler is an intelligent and tidy piece of equipment. We have seen it working, we like what we have seen and we hope to achieve significant savings over time. We are definitely going to look into installing more ambient beer coolers." 18 BREWING & BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS Equipment news Cooler the toast of a Cotswold pub Shimadzu have just delivered and installed the first of two new online TOC – 4200’s, used for the analysis of organic carbon at a leading brewery site “Its blocked again!” An all too common phrase when it comes down to the online analysis of total organic carbon. Unreliable analysis of organic carbon is providing to be a major concern within the food, drink and packaging industry, says Shimadzu. Analysis of process water, waste water and effluent streams can often be problematic due to the high levels of particulates in these streams. Many online TOC analysers become clogged and as a result will spend more time under maintenance than running samples. This was the scenario faced at the customer’s site and as a result they have just replaced the existing TOC analysers with Shimadzu’s new online TOC-4200. How does Shimadzu’s TOC -4200 help solve this problem? Its’s all down to the unique sample introduction system. After the raw sample is introduced into the TOC - 4200, it enters the sample chamber via a strainer where it is homogenised using a rotating knife. The completely homogenised sample is then transferred to the instrument for analysis. After sampling, the self-cleaning system will wash the strainer and sample chamber, allowing for continuous TOC measurement with minimum maintenance. The TOC-4200’s fast, continuous and accurate analysis is key in providing an early warning system to potential problems within a process whilst also providing the data required to ensure regulations are met. www.shimadzu.co.uk/toc For more information visit: Providing leading brewers with an early warning system www.jehall.com.co.uk For more information visit: New labeller from IC IC Labelling Systems has recently introduced an innovative and low cost new labeller suitable for applying reel—fed oriented polypropilene labels to glass bottles, jars and tin cans. The new RF-12K labeller can reach speeds of 12,000 bph. A hot melt glue applicator with a gear type pump controls the glue volume and temperature. Features include: a frequency inverter to fine-tune the syncronised speed; container feeding for high speed operation; a safety sensor to stop the machine if there is an over-load and a pneumatic gate to prevents further entry of containers in case of a jam; hot melt glue application to both label ends. Competitively priced, the new RF-12 offers high quality label application for the budget conscious producer. www.ICFillingSystems.com For more information visit: 18_Layout 1 28/07/2016 09:53 Page 1
