Carometec, a leader in manufacturing sanitation equipment, which assists small to large food plants in meeting quality-assurance standards around the world, recently introduced a new industrial knife cleaning machine. Safety gloves can also be hygienically cleaned in this machine, as an added bonus. In keeping with its commitment of manufacturing only the highest-quality sanitation equipment on the market, Carometec offers this new state-of-the-art sanitation device that not only provides extreme cleaning techniques, but saves plant owners money.
A pilgrim-step process is used inside this innovative industrial knife cleaning machine in which a series of repeating water jets clean and sanitize knives that are held in place by secure knife holders.In the field evaluating a Capello header A special system of rotating nozzles ensures the highest level of commercial cleaning while also preventing food borne illnesses.
Because rotating nozzles are employed within this machine, tough-to-reach locations, such as knife shafts, or particularly dirty safety gloves, can receive a thorough cleaning and sanitization. Laterally-arranged power spray rotors, along with extremely powerful nozzles, target problem areas on knives and safety gloves. The result is the finest in industrial cleaning in a minimum of time, which involves savings to the food plant customer.
This long lasting and ruggedly-built machinery was engineered not only to give customers a long life with a minimum of maintenance, but also a completely automated and contemporary industrial knife cleaning experience. Skilled workers using the knives and safety gloves aren’t involved with their cleaning, thereby saving valuable time spent on the plant’s production. Ultimately, the food plant’s financial bottom line receives a boost with more efficient food plant operations.
“Carometec and ITEC are known for their high quality industrial sanitation equipment and now we have added our Cleaning and Sterilizing Machine for Knives and Safety Gloves,” said Jeb Supple of Carometec. “We are very excited about this new product.”

In the field evaluating a Capello header
I looked at all the headers out there,” said Kellen Huber, owner of Tri Star Farm Services in Emerald Park, Saskatchewan. “I decided this one is best suited for our conditions.” He made those comments on the edge of a field as his dealership was demonstrating the Capello corn header in a test plot near Regina.
When looking to add a line of corn headers to his short-line dealership, Huber says he took a close look at what was available from all the aftermarket header manufacturers selling into the North American market. After investigating the options, Huber Believes the Italian brand, Capello, offers a blend of features that makes it ideally suited to growing conditions in Western Canada.
One of the most notable of those is the way the Capello header cuts stalks. The mower-style rotating knives under the table are mounted farther forward than those on other brands that offer cutters — and not all do. This knife position ensures the stalks have already been fed into the paired knife rollers on the header but are still standing up straight when cut, which helps minimize shelling.
“That’s better for the short corn stalks we have up here,” explains Huber. “It cuts them before the stalks get pushed forward. It’s a patented design.”
With shorter stalks, the ears hang lower to the ground than on taller stands common to areas with longer growing seasons. If a header pushes shorter plants forward before cutting them, some ears could go under the table, increasing harvesting losses. The rotating knives also create a more consistent stubble height.
To help prevent damage, each row unit on the header is protected by a slip clutch, which will allow that section to stop independently of the others without damaging the main drive components. On each side of the unit are totally enclosed chain drives, which keeps them lubricated and protected from the elements to increase component life. Headers larger than 12 rows get sealed gear boxes instead of chain drives.

A cut above
Paul Henicke doesn’t have time for knives that just hang on the wall and look good.
“I know a lot of knife makers who make these really fancy knives, knives that cost $1,300, $5,000 — even more,” Henicke said. “But those knives just sit on a shelf. I only want to make knives that people can use.
“That’s the thing about building a knife,” he added. “You’ve got to be able to pick it up and feel like you’ve got some control of it. You’ve got to be able to work with it, or else, what use is it?”
Henicke, who moved to Cleburne with his wife, Marie, when they retired, said he has been creating custom, handmade knives for years. He started after he left the Army and went to work in a machine shop.
“When you’re a machinist, somebody comes in to the shop with a drawing and says, ‘Make this right here.’ If you can’t do it, if you can’t look at that drawing and know how to make what they have drawn there, then you’re not a machinist,” Henicke said. “But if you can look at that drawing, if you can see it in your head and make it with your hands, then you can make whatever you want.”
And what Henicke wants to make is the kind of knives “that the everyday kind of person wants and uses.”
Henicke said he worked in the machine shop for about three years, learning the machinist trade. Then he worked for Bell Helicopter for about 15 years — although not all in one stretch.
“I got laid off from Bell twice,” he said. After the second lay-off, he turned his attention elsewhere, opening his own gasoline delivery company “back when the oil and gas industry was booming.”
“Looking back now, I can’t say we didn’t do pretty good for ourselves for awhile,” Henicke said. “But it’s not the same anymore. The big players have put all the small companies like ours out of business. There’s no way a mom-and-pop operation like ours was could make it now. We got out just in time.”

'Tonight Show' calls politician's hog castration quip
Comedian Jimmy Fallon tried to play Iowa Republican Joni Ernst's new campaign advertisement on The Tonight Show Tuesday night, but couldn't make it past her first line."Hi, I'm Joni Ernst. I grew up castrating hogs on an Iowa farm," she says in the debut TV ad of her U.S. Senate campaign, which was released online Tuesday morning.
As Fallon's audience starts to laugh at the gruesome thought and Ernst's obvious pride in her knife-wielding skills, Fallon says, "Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Do you want to do one more take? ... I don't know what she's running for, but just give her the job!"
Ernst, a 43-year-old state senator from the southwest Iowa town of Red Oak, wants to replace retiring Democratic U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin. She's one of five GOP candidates who are struggling to gain a foothold in the race. A recent Des Moines Register Iowa Poll showed none has made much of an impression in GOP circles, as the June 3 primary vote approaches.In the ad, Ernst vowed to use her hog-castrating savvy to "make 'em squeal" in Washington.The full quote goes: "I grew up castrating hogs on an Iowa farm. So when I get to Washington, I'll know how to cut pork. Washington's full of big spenders.Table Place Setting as a 3D Carving Let's make 'em squeal."
On Monday, statistician Nate Silver wrote on his fivethirtyeight website that Iowa Democrats have a 75 percent probability of holding onto Harkin's seat. Silver accurately predicted the outcome in every state in the 2012 presidential race.U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley of Waterloo is the lone Democrat seeking the Iowa seat.
On the GOP side, Ernst is competing against a wealthy former Texas utilities company executive, Mark Jacobs, who began spending money for radio, network TV and cable TV ads before Christmas. Despite that advertising, the Register's poll a month ago found that 67 percent of voting-age Republicans in Iowa were still unsure who Jacobs is. Three other competitors - Des Moines lawyer Matt Whitaker, a former U.S. attorney; Sam Clovis, a Sioux City-area conservative radio talk show host and college professor; and Ames car dealership manager Scott Schaben - have not yet done any advertising, which is key to boosting voters' familiarity with a candidate.

Table Place Setting as a 3D Carving
Ernst's "squeal" ad begins airing on cable TV in the Des Moines area this week, on Thursday at the latest, campaign aides told The Des Moines Register. The ad buy will expand in coming weeks, they said.
In the ad, which features some pigs snoozing in wooden pens, Ernst says: "My parents taught us to live within our means. It's time to force Washington to do the same - to cut wasteful spending, repeal Obamacare, and balance the budget."
In a news release, the campaign said Ernst supports a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution; repealing "Bruce Braley's Obamacare" and replacing it with "common-sense, market-driven solutions"; lowering taxes "on hardworking families and small businesses"; and ultimately scrapping the current tax code and replacing it "with a pro-growth tax system that is fairer, flatter and simpler."
I am on a quest to find CAM programs that are easy enough to use in our schools’ early grades. My goal is to prepare students at all levels so they can take on those industry jobs in the future.Therefore, while trying to wind up my articles on HSMWorks, I decided to try something unique to ensure HSMWorks is the right choice for students.
I designed a place setting with SolidWorks and created the toolpaths to cut it out. I opted for this configuration for the challenge of getting the tool paths properly set up.
To ensure I would have a thickness suitable for the cuts, I Gorilla Glued two scrap pieces of Medium Density Fiberboard MDF together. This gave me 1.5 inches or 3.8 cm to play with.
MDF wood is a composite of sawdust particles and glue. It is formed under pressure and cut into various sizes and thicknesses.

Better tools against terror
New threats call for new tools. Today, the European Commission is calling on all EU countries to strengthen their efforts against violent extremism and terrorism. Programmes helping people to leave extremist movements should be provided all over Europe. And the EU must cooperate better, by creating a European knowledge hub in this field.
Why is this such a pressing issue? To get an idea of what we are up against, take the ‘Inspire’ publication as an example. On the surface, it looks like any monthly magazine. It has glossy layout, long interviews, big photos and picture montages. But that is where the similarities end. The photos show determined, masked men with automatic weapons, the devastation of cities, and knives covered in blood. Among the articles are instructions for how to make a bomb in your own kitchen. Interested readers can also read about how to carry out attacks without access to firearms. No gun? Then run people over with your car instead. The latest issue features a full-page photo of Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, smiling widely into the camera against an edited backdrop of fluffy clouds and doves of peace.
Inspire is an English language, al Qaeda-sponsored magazine published a few times a year. It is one of many new propaganda instruments wielded by violent groups to recruit new members. Although it is probably produced in Yemen, it is but a few clicks of a mouse away for those who wish to indulge in terrorist fantasies and read glowing reports about the purportedly honourable life of suicide bombers. ‘Inspire’ has already paid off for al-Qaeda in a tragic way; it is believed that the two perpetrators of the Boston attacks built their pressure-cooker bombs - which claimed the lives of three people and maimed 264 others - with the help of designs published in the first issue of Inspire.
Today, people at risk of being lured into embracing extremist views can be drawn into groups where these views are reinforced. At the same time, they may remain isolated, and commit violent attacks on their own. The problem of extremism is not limited to one ideology or religion. Anders Behring Breivik justified his horrific attacks with a fascist ideology which he embraced in the privacy of his own home. He is a prime example of a lone wolf who prepares deadly attacks secretly, without appearing on the radar of the authorities.
Today, we are presenting the results of this work. Several actions have emerged from the efforts of the network; actions that, if implemented, would contribute to significantly strengthen Europe’s defences against violent extremism. The European Commission is now presenting ten recommendations that EU Member States should carry out as soon as possible. These recommendations are about better cooperation between authorities and others, and doing more locally in order to reach people earlier on in the path to extremism, and to support those who want to leave violent groups. Some EU countries have done much more in this field than others.
