Disposable/reusable VR Protective Boots & Shoe Covers are for use where liquids and fluids are present and foot, ankle and lower-leg protection is desirable. Perfect for minimizing the potential for cross contamination, VR Protective Boots and Shoe Covers provide impervious protection against biological and chemical contaminates, with elastic tops for added splash protection. VR Boots provide knee-high foot and lower-leg coverage, with VR Shoe Covers providing full coverage of foot and work shoe. VR, the new-age odorless and non-toxic impervious material, is challenging the dominance of vinyl and traditional apron materials in food processing plants across the country.  VR combines high-tech plastic resins with modern extrusion techniques to produce a longer wearing, more comfortable, crack-resistant lightweight boot and shoe cover. —PolyConversions Inc., 505 Condit Drive, Rantoul, Ill., 61866, phone: (888) 893-3330, Web site: www.polyconversions.com

Nelson-Jameson now provides an even wider selection of color-coded products selected specifically for the food industry. More than just brushes, the company brings together hundreds of items to give plants a total program that allows complete-zone color coding to help prevent cross contamination. Both food processors and regulators agree that by using brushes, pails and other sanitary tools that are assigned — by color — to a particular area or task, the risk of bacterial migration can be greatly reduced. A complete color-coded system helps sanitation programs by assuring plant tools stay in the areas they are meant to be used, doing the jobs they are meant to do. A new 20-page mini-catalog features Nelson-Jameson’s complete line of color-coded products. — Nelson-Jameson Inc., 2400 E. Fifth St., P.O.

American Conveyor’s all-stainless deunitizer eliminates the need for employees to “drag” stacks of empty crates onto floor conveyors on the way to the washer or stacks of full crates of product on the way to load-out onto an in-floor conveyor after being dropped nearby by a clamp truck. Employing a deunitizer allows the clamp truck to simply drop blocks of stacks that need to be put into a single column on one end of the deunitizer and single stacks of crates exit on the conveyor at the opposite end. The deunitizer has a demonstrated history of paying for itself in less than six months, not including the cost of reduced worker’s comp claims or the shortening of product handling times by a factor five. — American Conveyor Corp., 1819 Flushing Ave., Ridgewood, N.Y., 11385, phone: (718) 386-0480, fax: (718) 456-1233, e-mail: info@americanconveyor.net, Web site: www.americanconveyor.net

By ensuring valves and actuators are only operated by authorized individuals, the Anti-Tamper Lock (ATL) from Smith Flow Control secures companies’ assets by reducing the risk of human error or deliberate tampering. The way the ATL works is very simple. The standard condition of the device in service is locked (key-free), with the handwheel free-rotating (the standard unit is available in two sizes to suit all lever and handwheel operated valves). Operation involves three simple steps: first, a coded key is inserted, engaging the drive; second, the valve is operated to the desired position; and finally, the key is removed and the valve is locked in the desired position. For safety applications, the ATL’s housing is supplied in stainless steel coated with yellow polyester resin, while for security applications, locks are manufactured from hardened steel, with a protective security skirt. — Smith Flow Control, 21 Kenton Lands Road, Erlanger, Ky., 41018, phone: (859) 578-2395, fax: (859)-341-2302, e-mail: sales@smithflow.com, Web site: Web: www.smithflowcontrol.com
