The early detection of fire hazards is one of the greatest challenges in milling operations. Enormous airflows and closed processes mean that smoke or heat often become noticeable only when it is already too late. Saalemühle Alsleben, Germany’s largest family-run milling group, has partnered with REMBE to develop a solution. With the CO.Pilot, an innovative CO detection concept was implemented, based on highly sensitive laser absorption spectroscopy and differential measurements between the inlet and exhaust air. This approach filters out external interference and provides reliable real-time data. The result was a breakthrough: the CO.Pilot detected the very first traces of carbon monoxide - clear indicators of incipient smouldering processes - long before conventional sensors would have reacted. The stable measurement curves made it possible to define safe alarm thresholds, initiate immediate protection measures, and prevent incidents before they could escalate. This success story impressively demonstrates the key strength of the CO.Pilot: combining safety and efficiency in a single solution - protecting equipment, avoiding unplanned downtime, and proving that reliable

Easily map out flows and processes on the workfloor in straight lines with robust ToughStripe floor tape - and the new applicator from Brady. The new ToughStripe Floor Tape Applicator from Brady is engineered to increase precision and reduce labor requirements during industrial floor marking projects. Designed for single-person operation, this tool utilizes a heavy-duty plastic and steel construction to ensure durability in warehouse and manufacturing environments. Precision Meets Ergonomics The applicator features a patent-pending removable cartridge, allowing you to load tape at a comfortable height before snapping it back into place. Its stable three-wheel design and integrated tightening disc ensure professional, jam-free lines every time. Clean and Versatile Forget manual liner removing. The built-in liner rewinder automatically collects spent tape liner as you go. Compatible with tapes from 50mm to 150mm wide, it’s the ultimate tool for 5S lean manufacturing and warehouse safety. Solo Operation Power Optimised for single-person use, allowing one person to do the work of a two- or three-person

Why standardized systems are often the better choice in bulk material handling. In industrial bulk material processing, custom-built solutions are often seen as the gold standard. Complex products, demanding processes and high requirements for efficiency and safety frequently lead to highly individualized machine concepts. However, in practice, one thing becomes clear: a large share of applications follows recurring, well-defined patterns. This is exactly where standardized filling and bagging systems come into play. Standard applications dominate the market Whether powders, granules or free-flowing bulk materials – around 80% of industrial filling tasks operate within clearly defined parameters. Conveying systems, dosing principles and bag or container types are often very similar. For these applications, a fully customized system is usually not required – and often not the most economical choice. Instead, preconfigured and proven systems are gaining importance. All systems follow the same principle: clear configurations, reduced variant
