Tarp Manufacturer Focused on the Best Uses for Truck Tarps in the Transportation Industry

Tarps Now® Releases Information focused on Truck Tarps of all Types

St. Joseph, Michigan, USA, 2023-Feb-23 — /EPR INDUSTRIAL NEWS/ — With nearly 39 million trucks registered for business purposes in the United States, The American Truck Association mentions that registered trucks move close to 11 billion tons of freight per year.  Items shipped upon trucks account for over 80% percent of the county’s freight invoicing.  The stated statistics help explain why around 63 percent all tarp industry sales are connected to the transportation sector.  In short, the need to protect truck freight is vital to the industry.

To meet these needs, tarp manufacturer Tarps Now® is pleased to release an informational guide entitled Best Uses for Truck Tarps in the Transportation Industry.  This circular is designed to help explore more information about the materials, features and specific Truck Tarp products available to meet and exceed specific needs.  By example, when selecting a suitable truck tarp, one would consider the type of truck that the covering would be used to protect in one or more uses.  These might include pickups, flatbeds, trailer and semi cargo areas. Additionally, the type of loads being moved, the potential types of weather conditions along the way; and any other challenges that might impact the truck bed size and layout or the dimensions of the freight.

In addition, other tarp accessories function to safeguard the items in route from the rough and damaging elements. These are usually positioned directly on top or just above the freight by safely securing them through the grommets or eyelets and D-rings by fastening with rubber straps, cables, ropes, or chains. The strong fabric utilized in the Truck Tarps will also shield the cargo from the harmful UV rays in sunlight.  These aid in keeping the goods in route or are stored in the yard from getting torn, ripped, scratched, nicked, dented, or other issues. A well secured Truck Cover will also help avert the loads from shifting, thus ensuring that the freight arrives at the targeted destination in the very same condition it departed in.  A list of such materials follows:

Thompson Duke’s vaporizer device filling machines receive CE certification for the European market

PORTLAND, Ore. United States, 2023-Feb-15 — /EPR  INDUSTRIAL NEWS/ — Thompson Duke Industrial, the leader in cannabis oil vaporizer device filling and capping equipment, announced it has achieved CE certification for its cannabis vape cartridge filling equipment in Europe, including its IZR and MCF line of machines. 

“As the cannabis industry continues to evolve on a global scale, we are seeing a critical need for more efficient manufacturing processes around the world,” stated Vlad Valme from Thompson Duke Industrial. â€œIn order to meet this need, specifically across the European market, our team decided to pursue CE certification. Securing this certification validates our machinery, and our compliance with widely accepted product safety standards. It allows us to provide clients in the EU a competitive advantage as the cannabis market grows exponentially in the region.” 

CE certification is a mandatory requirement governing multiple types of products, set in place and regulated by the European Union. Earning this certification allows Thompson Duke Industrial to freely sell and export machinery throughout the European marketplace. 

In order to earn CE certification, manufacturers must have products that meet the regulatory requirements of the European Commission’s health, safety and environmental standards. In addition, manufacturers that sell electrical or electronic products must also be in accordance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) and the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) guidelines. Thompson Duke’s equipment underwent rigorous independent testing to ensure conformity with all relevant EU-wide requirements in order to earn the CE Marking. 

The new certification applies to Thompson Duke’s vaporizer device filling machines, which are already GMP-ready and cETLus/CSA Certified and utilize Festo automation and pneumatic industrial-grade components from Germany.

● IZRC automatic filling machine: designed specifically to streamline large-scale, industrial cartridge filling and capping operations using precisely controlled automation to fill cartridges, pods, capsules, syringes and jars directly in manufacturer packaging. 

● MCF2C semi-automatic filling machine: now with integrated temperature control, this machine is designed to fill almost any oil vaporizer device available on the market using a lightweight and portable benchtop design for quick and easy setup, operation and cleaning. 

Thompson Duke’s CE Certification is the latest in a number of certifications for the company, which also holds cETLus and CSA certifications for its machines. In addition, the company adheres to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines and all its equipment is GMP-ready. Looking ahead, the company plans to earn additional certifications to further expand the accessibility of its machinery around the world.
