Aurora, Ontario packaging equipment provider offers single solution system for vegetable and fruit packaging needs.

Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) November 29, 2013

CAM Packaging Systems in Aurora, Ontario now offers a single solution packaging system for vegetable and fruit packaging needs. The automatic side sealer has the ability to both shrink wrap and flow wrap produce. The food packaging equipment provides a wide variety of packaging styles, specifically targeting the needs of the food manufacturing industry.

This automatic side sealer from CAM Packaging Systems is most noted for its continuous reliability in producing high-quality packaging day-in and day-out. The non-stop, side sealing machine has a sealing bar and offers the ultimate flexibility and film saving features.

“Not only will this machine ensure a solid return on investment but it will also be viewed as an irreplaceable integrated component to your packaging system,” says Gareth Kennedy, owner of CAM Packaging Systems. “It will save you the cost of two pieces of equipment- it’s one purchase with a dual purpose.”

The film dispenser unit and the film wind unit are located in the front of the machine for easy access to replace film wrap. This machine can handle any type of film including Polyolefin, Polyethylene, Polypropylene and barrier films, making it highly customizable and equally versatile in the face of high changeovers. Thanks to continuous side sealing, there are no set limits in products’ length.

The machine has three belts to achieve considerable film saving and can pack any products of any length including irregular shapes like squash, by using automatic product length calculation. CAM packaging equipment can be equipped with various infeed and outfeed conveyors as well as additional accessories to form a complete production line.

The system completes standard wrapping and bagging and can use a bagging system that creates bags with a Euro-hole or handle system to hang or carry the product easily. Additional features include the use of a modified atmosphere system (MAP) to pack in protected atmosphere with barrier film to increase shelf-life of produce.

“The jump to fully automatic packaging equipment like this side sealer is a worthwhile investment,” says Kennedy. “It will ensure more accurate feeding, filling, sealing and packaging creating less room for human error which in turn, will increase output.”

For a design that maintains reliable and consistent packaging outcomes, CAM Packaging System’s automatic side sealer is the perfect addition to any food manufacturing and packaging line.

Colorado Sheriffs Cannot Sue State Over Gun Control Laws As Elected Officials: Judge

$

A federal judge in Denver dismissed part of the lawsuit dozens of Colorado sheriffs filed against the state in May arguing that the gun control laws passed this year were unconstitutional.

In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Marcia Krieger granted much of the state's motion to dismiss the suit and said that the 55 Colorado sheriffs who were listed as plaintiffs had no legal standing in their official capacity.

"A political subdivision of a state may not sue its parent state under certain provisions of the United States Constitution," Krieger wrote in the ruling. "If individual sheriffs wish to protect individual rights or interests they may do so. In the Second Amended Complaint, however, the Sheriffs have confused their individual rights and interests with those of the county sheriff’s office."

The sheriffs, who represent the rural parts of Colorado's 64 counties, will have until Dec. 11 to rejoin the lawsuit in their individual capacities.

Krieger's ruling however does not stop the suit since there are 21 other plaintiffs -- including individuals and gun groups -- who do have legal standing, so the court still has to consider whether limiting ammunition magazines to 15 rounds and requiring universal background checks in Colorado is constitutional.

“We are pleased that the court recognized that many of the plaintiffs had no standing to bring this case and that our interpretation of the law is proper," Carolyn Tyler, a spokeswoman with the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, which is representing the state in the lawsuit, told The Associated Press.

The laws in question took effect on July 1 and were part of a group of gun control bills that were voted on in response to the mass shootings in an Aurora movie theater and Connecticut's Sandy Hook Elementary School. The laws also prompted the successful recalls of two Democratic state senators in September, and the resignation of a third last week.

AURORA, Colo (PRWEB) December 03, 2013

American Sentinel University’s new e-book, ‘Are You Prepared to Identify and Prevent the Three Infections That Make Up Two-Thirds of All Health Care Associated Infections?’ helps nurses build the clinical skills to minimize the occurrence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). This e-book serves as a health care professional’s go-to resource for basic intervention methods and prevention measures for a successful nursing career. It is available for download at http://ppc.americansentinel.edu/hai-ebook.

Hospitals are meant to be places of healing, yet every year an estimated 1.7 million Americans will develop a hospital-acquired infection while hospitalized – and 99,000 patients will die from one, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. The Center for Disease Control recognizes the important role that nurses play in minimizing the occurrence of HAIs and have included nursing-specific interventions in their guidelines.

“Our e-book was created to serve as a guide about the HAI risk factors and basic prevention measures that every nurse should know to help prevent more than 65 percent of hospital-acquired infections,” says Judy Burckhardt, Ph.D., MAEd, MSN, RN, dean, nursing programs at American Sentinel University. “Nurses can use their clinical knowledge to recognize conditions that might cause a complication or breakdown in care and to select an appropriate intervention.”

Dr. Burckhardt says the e-book helps nurses prepare for potential problems before they occur, which supports their patient-advocacy role. These methods build the foundation for nurses to grow their leadership skills.

Minimizing Occurrence of Infections
‘Are You Prepared to Identify and Prevent the Three Infections that Make Up Two-Thirds of all Health Care Associated Infections?’ is a must read for nurses who want to learn how to use an evidence-based approach to prevent these events from happening. These measures will help patients and save health care facilities an upsurge in costs. The e-book profiles risk factors and prevention techniques for the three most common infection threats in health care facilities today:

-Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI)

-Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP)

-Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI)
