ZUHAITZ EGUNA 2023: "Plant a tree in your life"

 

At Gashor we are committed to social and environmental projects. That is why we have organised a Zuhaitz Eguna for Sunday 19 November. We are once again taking part in the planting of trees of local species with the aim of improving the future of the environment.

We will be planting 250 trees of 6 different native species such as beech, ash, oak… whose role is essential to maintain biological diversity, being the fundamental basis of our biosystems.

Gashor is committed to this cause and we recognise the importance of trees in our well-being.

We will also place nesting boxes for birds, bat guards and insect hotels.

Gashor participates and takes part in the project Inspira STEAM

Inspira STEAM is an innovative project that aims to promote girls’ interest in scientific and technological disciplines.

This programme is based on awareness-raising and guidance activities led mainly by professional women working in the fields of research, science and technology. In this way, young people can see female role models close to them and reflect on the barriers that women face in developing their careers in these fields.

Group mentoring is used to encourage the interest of boys and girls in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) from primary school onwards.

The project is aimed at boys and girls in the 6th grade of primary school and 1st year of ESO. This is an age when young people have a good self-concept of themselves and are confident in their abilities.

Inspira STEAM was created due to the lack of women in science and technology, the gender gap that has historically been present in these disciplines and the lack of interest that has increased among young women in pursuing careers related to science and technology, with a greater number of female university students.

The main keys to Inspira STEAM are:

  1. Facilitating new female referents with science and technology careers.
  2. The discovery of STEAM careers.
  3. Raising awareness of the importance of this social change taking place between men and women.
  4. Gender equality: STEAM programmes for boys and girls seek to encourage the participation of both sexes, promoting an inclusive and equitable environment.
  5. To raise awareness andreflect on existing stereotypes so that they do not condition young people’s decisions.

Gashor demonstrates its social commitment with the participation of two of the workers in the workshops as mentors developing different sessions for the groups of girls and boys.

The importance of Pneumatic conveyors and handling systems to ensure the correct handling of materials

Pneumatic conveyors and handling systems play a crucial role in various industries, especially when it comes to moving bulk materials and powders efficiently and safely

The importance of pneumatic conveyors and handling in the food industry can be understood through several key aspects:

  1. Hygiene and Sanitation: The food industry places a premium on hygiene and sanitation. Pneumatic conveyors can be designed with sanitary features, such as stainless steel construction and easy-to-clean surfaces, to ensure that the transported food products remain uncontaminated during the handling process.
  2. Prevention of Cross-Contamination: Pneumatic conveying systems prevent cross-contamination by isolating different food products during transport. This is crucial for ensuring that allergens, pathogens, or flavors from one product do not mix with another, which is particularly important in facilities producing multiple food products.
  3. Dust Control: Many food products are in powder or granular form and can generate airborne dust. Pneumatic conveyors are effective at controlling dust emissions, reducing the risk of inhalation hazards for workers and maintaining a clean processing environment.
  4. Gently Handling Delicate Products: Pneumatic conveyors can handle delicate food products, such as powders, spices, and fragile ingredients, without damaging them. The gentle conveying action ensures the integrity of the food product, preserving its quality and appearance.
  5. Precise Metering and Dispensing: In food processing, precise metering and dispensing of ingredients are crucial for product consistency. Pneumatic conveyors can accurately deliver ingredients to mixing or blending processes, ensuring that recipes are followed precisely.
  6. Reduction of Manual Labor: Automated pneumatic conveying systems reduce the need for manual labor in material handling, minimizing the risk of human error and contamination. This helps maintain food safety standards and consistency.
  7. Improved Efficiency: Pneumatic conveying systems can transport ingredients and products efficiently within a food processing facility. This efficiency leads to faster production processes, reduced downtime, and increased throughput.
  8. Versatile Handling of Food Products: Pneumatic conveyors can handle a wide variety of food products, including grains, flours, sugars, spices, dairy products, and more. They are versatile tools that can accommodate different types of food materials and processing requirements.
  9. Compliance with Food Safety Regulations: Food safety regulations are stringent, and pneumatic conveyors can be designed to meet or exceed these regulations. Their sanitary construction, easy cleaning features, and prevention of contamination help food manufacturers maintain compliance.
  10. Environmental Considerations: Pneumatic conveying systems can be environmentally friendly. They often require less energy compared to mechanical conveying systems and can be designed for closed-loop systems to reduce material waste and spillage.

In summary, pneumatic conveyors and handling systems play a vital role in the food industry by ensuring the safe, hygienic, and efficient movement of food products throughout the production process. They contribute to food safety, quality control, and compliance with industry regulations, making them essential tools for food manufacturers seeking to produce high-quality and safe products.

At Gashor we are a driving force behind seamless material handling. With cutting-edge pneumatic conveyors and handling solutions, we move your product with precision and speed.
