Port Houston opens new container maintenance depot

Posted on by Keith McKinley

The Marino Group’s Marine Repair Services – Container Maintenance Corporation (MRS-CMC), a leading provider of intermodal services, has opened a new depot facility at Port Houston. The new facility will support global supply chain fluidity with an expansion of its storage, distribution, repair, and capacity services in the region.

Directly situated across from Port Houston Bayport Terminal and only a few minutes away from the Barbours Cut terminal, the new facility will supplement the company’s already-established maintenance & repair services at Port Houston, providing customers more service choices, including loaded container storage, empty container storage and repairs, chassis start/stop and repairs, grounded reefer pre-trips and genset rental programme.

“The opening of this state-of-the-art facility – which is unlike any other depot in the country – demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing best-in-class solutions that address the demands of the marketplace as well as the needs of our customers,” said David M. Miller, Director, Southwest & Mid-South Operations at MRS-CMC. “As Port Houston continues to experience record-breaking container volumes, we see a market-driven need to expand our footprint in the region and enhance our capabilities.”

Port Houston is the largest Gulf Coast container port, handling 70% of Gulf Coast container traffic. It recently announced that as of mid-July 2022, it had handled just shy of two million TEUs, which is an 18% increase over 2021.

For over eight years, MRS-CMC has been operating out of two Port Houston terminals, offering Maintenance and Repair (M&R) services for chassis, containers, reefers and gensets. The new Houston depot facility will significantly expand its service offerings while also providing considerable benefits that address daily pain points for a diverse spectrum of supply chain stakeholders. The expanded roster of services include: Pre-pull programme service for warehouses and distribution centres, equipment storage capabilities and efficient grounded reefer and genset operations.

“As demonstrated by our new depot, which will provide much-needed storage and capacity solutions, our goal at MRS-CMC is to create a more connected supply chain and to provide solutions that help our customers succeed,” said Miller.

Packaging company launches automated e-Commerce system

Posted on by David Priestman

Partnering with shrink and stretch wrapping specialist Yorkshire Packaging Systems, Clearmark Solutions has launched its latest innovative and labour-saving automated e-Commerce system.

Mounted within the innovative bagging unit, Clearmark’s Direct Print & Apply ICE Vulcan labelling machine integrates seamlessly with the Hugo Beck Flexo e-Comm range of bagging machines. Processing more than 1,200 packages per hour, the labour-saving system prints and applies address labels with precision directly onto the film as the product is enveloped into a shipment bag.

Fulfilling e-Commerce GDPR compliance rules and guaranteeing accurate labelling for problem-free delivery, the ICE Vulcan receives real-time address delivery data and can communicate in a range of protocols including ZPL and SATO.

This fast, uninterrupted one-in-one-out process delivers faultless labelling precision. By interfacing seamlessly with a company’s Order or Warehouse Management System, it safeguards sensitive customer data and helps to eliminate any potential operator error.

Streamlined, failsafe and labour-saving

Citing the labour and cost saving benefits on high volume e-Commerce packing lines, Clearmark’s Steve Hancock estimates that to achieve the same level of hourly throughput manually would require between eight and 10 bench packers: “As well as being labour intensive, the repetitive nature of this work means that it’s more prone to human error.

“By further developing our unique Direct Apply application for the e-Commerce market, we are able to remove the complexities of the traditional pneumatic tamp application seen in other systems. By applying directly onto the moving film, it allows a smoother, quicker, more reliable label application, which is essentially maintenance free.”

Jonny Braithwaite, Director at Yorkshire Packaging Systems, concurs: “This seamless e-Commerce bagging and labelling process eliminates errors and ensures absolute reliability and data security as well as 100% compliance with GDPR laws.”

Efficiency in the bag

Designed for any bagged e-Commerce consumable application, ranging from fashion apparel, household furnishings, stationery, white good spares, the Flexo e-Comm measures the length of the product for the bag length and adapts accordingly. It adjusts to the product dimensions sealing the front and side edge and squeezing the air out to form a tightly-fitted bag.

The machine is compatible with all fully recyclable centre-folded films (LDPE 04). This includes biofilms and up to 70% recycled content films. Optional open bag perforations and bag resealing adhesive strips are available.

Aligned to these sustainability efforts, the fully integrated ICE Vulcan direct print and apply labeller with its unique non-pneumatic ‘air-less’ design, accurately places every label on demand, without the need for an applicator. Height adjustable, the Clearmark printer system boasts Intelligent Motion technology. This unique feature enables precise automatic control of components and an 80%  reduction of wear parts that traditionally cause unexpected downtime and additional cost.

“Direct Apply is far more reliable and faster than traditional tamp label printing,” reaffirms Hancock. For e-Commerce operations, where throughput is key to ROI, even the slightest hesitation between the data transfer and application of a label will have an effect on throughput.

“The ICE Vulcan prints three times faster than traditional applicators on the market, using a solid-state printhead mechanism and no compressed air. As a totally integrated e-Commerce bagging and labelling solution, there should be no stops and starts. Just a fluid process maintaining a consistent line speed.

“No other label supplier comes close to the speed and reliability of the ICE Vulcan for e-Commerce operations,” states Braithwaite. The innovative concept is clearly not lost on e-Commerce warehouse and logistics operations. Serious discussions are already underway to install the Flexo-500 with ICE Vulcan at one of the UK’s top-10 online and click-and-collect soft furnishing businesses.”

Pyroban brings automation, power, and purpose to IMHX

Posted on by David Priestman

Explosion protection safety company Pyroban is heading to intralogistics show IMHX 2022 in Birmingham, UK, with Ex Solutions for AGVs, AMRs, robots, and a wide range of other materials handling and plant equipment.

“Pyroban has exhibited at every single IMHX in the show’s history, presenting explosion protection solutions for lift trucks. In this time, the materials handling landscape has changed,” says Darren Boiling, Materials Handling Sales Manager for Pyroban. “Automation, sustainability, energy costs, and business purpose are now high on the agenda for decision makers. At IMHX, we’re addressing how these topics influence businesses operating with potentially explosive atmospheres.”

ATEX AGVs, AMRs and automated robots

Pyroban will address the myth that ATEX (with UKCA marking) AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), and robots don’t exist. It is possible to safely “Ex” convert some of the latest technologies that will be on show at IMHX (Stand 5E40) for hazardous area operations where automation is also required, or equipment such as carousels .

“Unlike the ATEX forklift conversions we are known for, complex machines like AGVs or AMRs can be optimised with a ground-up approach where we work closely with the OEM at product design and assembly level,” says Boiling.

Pyroban has experienced growing demand for AGVs and AMRs in some “zoned” hazardous area operations where flammable material is handled. Paint tins, aerosols, IBCs, or drums full of solvents can all be moved by AGVs, AMRs, or robots, subject to a thorough risk assessment.

It was this growing trend that led Pyroban’s Managing Director Steve Noakes, the Convenor of the Standards Committee responsible for EN1755 (the standard specifically written for industrial trucks operating in potentially explosive atmospheres), to lead the committee and produce an update which now includes requirements specifically for driverless trucks (i.e. AGVs or AMRs).

Power choices in hazardous areas

For traditional forklifts, there are also more power choices than ever before and businesses are increasingly looking to reduce energy costs and improve their environmental performance. Businesses with Zone 1, 2, 21 or 22 areas are no different, and many have already turned to electric materials handling equipment, including waste companies, chemical firms, food and drink businesses, and supermarkets storing flammable aerosols.

“At IMHX, we will be sharing the latest updates on power options including the facts about Stage V ATEX forklifts and the first ever solutions for LPG forklifts working in Zone 2 hazardous areas,” says Boiling. “In addition, we will be highlighting the facts about the ATEX certification requirements for lead acid batteries and talking about the ignition risks when using lithium-ion in hazardous areas.”

Gas detection rental to bridge ATEX forklift gap

Pyroban will also address what businesses can do to bridge safety gaps that may occur due to extended OEM forklift production lead times.

“Over the last few years, forklifts are not being delivered to Pyroban fast enough which has led to an inevitable knock-on effect to the availability of ATEX (with UKCA marking) compliant forklifts for our customers,” says Boiling. “We responded to safety concerns by offering Gascheka Zone 3 on a rental basis.”

Gascheka Zone 3 is a bolt-on gas detection system designed specifically for mobile equipment, and was previously only available to buy outright from Pyroban.  Now, Pyroban is supporting the industry by offering the gas detection system for short periods. The units can be fitted to equipment of any age in just a few hours including warehouse equipment, forklifts, vans, cranes, access platforms, and people transporters.

“If hazardous area operations cannot source a new or used ATEX compliant forklift in time, and when ceasing the operation isn’t an option, under an ATEX 1999/92/EC or DSEAR (in the UK) risk assessment, they may consider that installing the Pyroban Gascheka Zone 3 system on existing standard trucks is an acceptable interim solution,” confirms Boiling.

Protecting people, their investment, and our environment

2022 marks 50 years of one clear purpose for Pyroban – keeping people safe in hazardous areas.

“Throughout our history, Pyroban’s technical integrity and support has been second to none in the conversion of lift trucks and power systems for use in hazardous areas,” says Boiling, who has been with the company for nearly 35 years. “Our customers rely on us to keep them safe in their daily operations and we have a great team which follows the principles of five solid foundations to deliver on our purpose.

“We design for safety and performance, build with premium quality, and deliver a low total cost of operation (TCO). Lifetime support and care programmes reinforce the customer experience alongside pro-active advice and consultancy from the very beginning,” says Darren explaining that there is still significant market education to do about ATEX and the risks of using MHE equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres for end users, OEMs and dealers.

Garbe acquires brownfield site in Salzgitter

Posted on by Keith McKinley

Garbe Industrial Real Estate GmbH has acquired an industrial wasteland in Salzgitter (Lower Saxony, Germany). Following a comprehensive redevelopment of the site, a high-quality and sustainable new building for the storage and handling of industrial goods is to be constructed on the 51,000 sq m site. The logistics property is scheduled to be commissioned in the third quarter of 2024. Garbe Industrial Real Estate is investing around €43m in the conversion project.

The Hamburg project developer took over the property from Alstom. The deal came about as a result of the good cooperation between the two companies. Garbe Industrial Real Estate had previously realised a 30,000 sq m logistics property for the rail vehicle manufacturer on its factory premises in Salzgitter in 2014. The area now acquired is in the immediate vicinity.

Before construction can begin, the site must be cleared of contamination – including foundations of former buildings, concrete slabs, shafts and possibly also explosive ordnance. The potentially contaminated soil will be carefully removed and professionally disposed of. Then a levelling layer is applied and its surface is completely sealed.

“In the process, we bring our many years of experience in dealing with so-called brownfields to bear,” emphasises Adrian Zellner, Member of the Executive Board at Garbe Industrial Real Estate. “With the revitalisation of this area, which has been lying fallow for years, we are enhancing the value of the soil enormously, raising previously unused property reserves without sealing valuable green spaces and thus creating significant settlement potential.”

The complex conversion process is completed by the construction of a modern logistics property with a total area of 32,000 sq m in three fire compartments. For protection, a foil is drawn under the floor slab so that substances that may be hazardous to water can also be stored. At least 28 dock levellers and three ground-level sectional doors are planned for loading and unloading trucks. There will be 140 parking spaces for cars and six for trucks in the outdoor area. Some of them will be pre-equipped with e-charging stations.

A photovoltaic system will be installed on the entire roof area to generate renewable energy. Several green spaces are planned on the property. In addition, the logistics property will not be supplied with fossil fuels. This is entirely in line with Garbe’s corporate strategy of realising project developments with the highest sustainability standards, taking into account all ESG criteria. Garbe Industrial Real Estate is therefore also striving for certification of the property to at least the Gold Standard of the German Sustainable Building Council.

The location is characterised by its central position south of the city triangle of Hanover, Wolfsburg and Brunswick. It is only a few kilometres to the A 39 motorway, which connects Salzgitter in a northerly direction with Wolfsburg and the A 2 Dortmund – Berlin motorway, and in a southerly direction with the A 7 Hamburg – Ulm motorway. There is also a connection to the public transport system. The nearest bus stop is 200m away.

Initial talks with potential users of the logistics centre are already underway. Garbe Industrial Real Estate expects the centre to be let during the construction period.
