A new fast-acting door enables pads, delivered by roller beds and selected by forklift truck, to move swiftly from the dirty area to the washroom for processing. Safety and hygiene have also been enhanced with new wails and flooring, safety markings and the creation of special demarcation zones to facilitate safe handling of the products during delivery, processing and despatch. In addition, the purchase of a new Euro V vehicle will bring environmental benefits, with cleaner emissions and a greater load bearing capability that reduces the number of trips required per delivery.
