As a major exporter in the East Anglian region, Muntons has increased its corporate visibility through the branding of two new trucks with the company’s distinctive diamond logo. Working in conjunction with DHL Supply Chain Transport division, and Coastal Global Logistics, Muntons has had its logo designed to sit stylishly on the tractor unit of the two new trucks in an eye-catching fashion. Muntons exports its malt and malted ingredients to over 76 countries around the world. The products are all made from barley grown in the local region and exports are important, with over 86,000 tonnes shipped overseas last year. That’s the equivalent of well over 4,000 individual container movements. Muntons ships a great deal of its export cargo through the Port of Felixstowe, which is conveniently located just a few miles away along the A14 corridor. This helps tremendously in keeping transport costs to a minimum, contributing towards Muntons competitive position within the global market. Andy Janes, Muntons Corporate Marketing Manager, commented, “It was very good of Coastal Global to arrange for two of their new trucks to carry our logo when they bought the vehicles and thanks must also go to DHL for facilitating this. These eye-catching trucks can be seen regularly plying the route between Felixstowe and Stowmarket and with their distinctive logo they stand out from the crowd. We are running a competition through social media with a prize for the best photo of our new trucks and are anticipating some interesting pictures.” Muntons manufactures a wide range of malt and malted ingredients which are used widely in the brewing, distilling and food industry. Holchem, a UK leader in hygiene technology solutions, has launched a new generation alkaline Express Foam cleaner, designed for use in Open Plant Cleaning in beverage and other production plants. Express Foam is a long cling foam product for extended contact of detergent with soiling, but is fast dispersing when rinsed; this reduces rinse time, giving faster hygiene shift turnarounds and reduced water consumption. In factory use, Express Foam breaks down under wellington boots and dissolves easily in rinse water, thus saving rinse time and rinse water. It also has a number of green credentials: P Free – it provides an environmentally responsible approach to effluent discharge using replacements for Phosphorus derived chemical scale control agents, as well as reduced potential for exceeding effluent discharge consents. It is also part of Holchem’s drive to remove Phosphonate scale control agents from formulations. EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) Free – Express Foam includes Glutamate chemistry with improved biodegrad- ability and reduced health risk. Gram for gram the new chemistry is 30% more efficient at binding calcium salts than EDTA, which means lower levels of inclusion in formulations and less transportation (chemical miles) of raw materials. Improved emulsification – reduces the amount of manual padding required, using a synergic blend of flow foam surfactants to create a high level of emulsification across a wide HLB range. Jim Taylour, Head of Products, Research and Development at Holchem, said, “Foam cleaning has been the method of choice for large scale cleaning for decades in food, beverage and dairy production plants, and Holchem’s range of products has extended and improved over the past 15 years. Our new generation Express Foam cleaner addresses the issues around Long Cling foam, in that it is easy rinsing and is free flowing to prevent solid re-deposition. It also helps reduce water consumption because it reduces rinse time. It takes 5 minutes to rinse with Express Foam compared to a traditional 18 minutes with traditional long cling foam rinsing.” 14 BREWING & BEVERAGE INDUSTRIES BUSINESS Holchem launches new foam cleaner www.holchem.co.uk For more information visit: Muntons invests in new truck designs www.muntons.com For more information visit: IN THE MIX Showcase 14_Layout 1 12/02/2018 10:03 Page 1
