The Gate Keeper

MACHINE LIFT GATES

Quick and easy access to the ice surface is an essential operation to the efficient use of ice time. Sound Barriers machine lift gates provide reliable smooth operation. Machine lift gates can be supplied for both  radius corner and straight applications.

Aluminum frame machine and access gates are lighter for easier operation by younger players. The lighter weight also reduces stress on hinges and hardware providing a longer life span.

These gates are custom manufactured for each application, insuring a perfect fit for your dasher board system.

FRP Panels: Acceptable for Use in ISO Cleanroom Applications

CleanroomThanks to the exclusive Surfaseal finish, Glasbord is the perfect solution for applications requiring cleanability, low particle emission, biological resistance and chemical resistance.

Glasbord is the industry leading fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) panel. The homogeneously applied Surfaseal finish means that the surface is sealed and will
not trap soil or bacteria.

The system features Crane Composites’ Glasbord panel. The Glasbord panels are available with a Class A or Class C fire rating per ASTM E-84 with a smooth or embossed finish.

The cleanroom certified FRP wall panels are completed with the use of biological and chemically tested adhesive and seam sealant for wall panel applications and trim-free seams.

Get Serious About Health In Your Restrooms

antibacterialThere are many choices when choosing a material for your bathroom partitions. Though you may not be aware of it, many of the materials available for restroom partitions are not solid throughout meaning that the core is made from a particleboard or cardboard core. These cores are subject to mold,mildew and/or rust in a wet environment.

Hiny Hider partitions by Scranton Products are constructed from premium American-made 1″ solid High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) with a homogenous color throughout. The material resists dents, scratches, corrosion, graffiti and mildew – and will absolutely never rust.

This is especially important in restrooms because HDPE can be fully power washed and steam cleaned helping eliminate germs and bacteria that can feed in a restroom environment. The material is also impermeable to moisture and the non-porous surface does not support the growth of mold and mildew.

Because they never need painting, Hiny Hiders HDPE partitions deliver no VOC emissions and are Greenguard Gold Certified. It is important to look for this certification from manufactures because in an increasingly muddled green marketplace, GREENGUARD Certification provides an advantage by serving as a health-based differentiator. Products GREENGUARD Certified for low-chemical emissions can contribute to healthier indoor environments.

The HDPE material is also naturally germ resistant. Testing conducted by SiTU Bio sciences LLC. by ISO 22196 methods show that after 24 hours, 98.4% of MRSA bacteria died off the surface of HDPE plastic without the use of any cleaning solutions.

The Food Production "Cold Chain" and a Food Safe Sanitary Facility Design – part 1

kinkspan_shadowlineCold storage solutions play a critical role in the successful design of food safe facilities.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That philosophy forms the underlying foundation for current food safety regulations in the United States and Canada.

Refrigeration provides one of the most important preventative measures for protecting food products. At the same time, refrigeration presents a major challenge in the cold storage supply chain.

For manufacturers, distributors and retail venues, fluctuations in temperature by only a few degrees could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages. Recently, one food manufacturer suffered estimated losses in the range of $250,000 in a one-week time period due to suspected temperature abuse.

The company also sustained damage to their brand identity. In an environment of instant information transfer, it didn’t take long for websites, social media outlets and news organizations to spread word of the food safety issue.

Fortunately the situation involved no documented cases of illness. Imagine the repercussions if consumers had experienced widespread infection requiring medical attention. The legal ramifications could have been devastating.

Have you performed an audit of your “cold chain”? What risks might be going undetected?

In part 2 of our series, The Food Production “Cold Chain” and a Food Safe Sanitary Facility Design, we’ll discuss the challenges food safe products must overcome in getting to the consumer.

Sound Barriers and Kingspan Can Help You Conquer the “Cold Chain” Challenge

The necessity to maintain the proper temperature in cold storage systems proves to be a challenge for some. Kingspan’s “cold chain” solutions include cold storage panel systems for walls, roofs and Hercules Insulated Doors.

The diverse product line offers a highly efficient perimeter for temperature extremes. Kingspan insulated panel systems can be applied to atmospheric controlled environments where hygienic control is of utmost importance. The use of Kingspan cold storage wall panels, cold storage roof panels, and Hercules Doors are designed to fit the needs of any thermally controlled building envelope.

Sound Barriers Builds in Souris, PEI

Souris PEIIt’s not all potatoes, lobsters and Anne of Green Gables in P.E.I.

With a population of just over 140,000 (about the same as Barrie ON), PEI wouldn’t be the first place you have in mind as a hockey hotbed. But, with 27 rinks servicing this tiny island province, hockey is clearly on the mind of most of the people.

PEI has produced about 30 NHL players.

Most hockey fans know about Brad Richards and Adam McQuaid, Steve Ott and Darryl Boyce, but that’s just the tip of the hockey stick.

Rick Vaive was a three-time 50-goal scorer who amassed 441 goals in a 12-year career spent largely with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was a product of the Charlottetown minor hockey system. His son Justin is trying to follow in Dad’s footsteps with the Anaheim Ducks.

Other PEI NHL notables include:

Mark Flood, Adam McQuaid, Darryl Boyce, Drew MacIntyre, Nathan McIver, Jason MacDonald, Steve Ott, Brad Richards, Tyler Larter, Shane MacEachern, Kent Paynter, Gerard Gallant, John Chabot, Dave Cameron, John Hughes, Garth MacGuigan, Maynard Schurman, Bob MacMillan, Gary Simmons, Al Macadam, Bob Stewart, Billy MacMillan, Errol Thompson, Bob Whitlock, Wes Trainor, Hickey Nicholson, Charles Cahill and Paddy Nolan.

Behind the Food Processing Door

All foods need to be handled, prepared and stored properly to prevent the growth of harmful microorganisms that can cause illness. Preventing cross-contamination at animal production and food processing facilities is another key aspect in reducing the risk of environmental contamination. Production, storage and shipping areas of processing facilities should be kept isolated from each other much as possible.

Cold storage doors come in a wide variety of styles to suit your specific needs.

There is also the added benefit of reduced energy costs with automatic doors between cold and ambient temperature areas.
