Aftermarket Daily News Tuesday, October 30, 2018 1 8 AIRCAT VIBROTHERM DRIVE Impact Wrench Series Designed for Professionals Florida Pneumatic Mfg. Corporation is introducing its new AIRCAT ® VIBROTHERM DRIVE™ Impact Wrench Series at SEMA 2018. Florida Pneumatic Corp., established in 1968, is a leading manufacturer and supplier of pneumatic power tools mar- keted under its AIRCAT, Universal Tool ® , Jiffy ® and Florida Pneumatic ® brands. Florida Pneumatic offers more than 500 tools covering the needs of automotive technicians, heavy-duty fleet and truck service workshops, aircraft manufacturers and general heavy indus- trial users. For decades, pneumatic impact wrench mechanisms and motor designs have followed design concepts that main- ly date back to the 1970s and earlier. Similarly, external styling designs of the various brands in the market have remained rather traditional. Over the past year, by way of innova- tion in engineering and technology, and investments into new manufacturing processes, Florida Pneumatic has devel- oped truly new impact wrench hammer mechanisms, motors and drives. Added to that, the "triple injec- tion-three color" housing-handle molding process delivers new external styling that represents "the state of the art." Carrying the trusted AIRCAT brand name, Florida Pneumatic's new VIBROTHERM DRIVE impact wrench series is protected with four U.S./global patents as well as the new VIBROTH- ERM DRIVE registered trademark. AIRCAT's VIBROTHERM DRIVE series of tools deliver high torque, low vibration, low noise, low weight, shorter length, longer working life and unmatched styling designs and operating comfort/con- venience. Florida Pneumatic- AIRCAT backs-up VIBROTHERM DRIVE with a three-year warranty. VIBROTHERM DRIVE is being pre- miered at the AIRCAT booth #10167 locat- ed in the tool and equipment section of the North Hall at SEMA 2018 and will be available from the leading tool and equip- ment distributors in mid-October 2018.

Improving Facility Safety and Efficiency by Switching to Task-based Wipers By Maryellen Anastasio, Marketing Manager, North American Industry, Essity Attention to detail makes all the differ- ence when it comes to the automotive industry. Improving safety, efficiency and productivity can make a significant impact on a facility's use of time and money. For automotive technicians, using products designed for the task-at-hand is crucial. Even for a seemingly basic task like wiping, cleaning or polishing a sur- face, using products designed for the task can save time and energy, improve safety and hygiene, and even save money. Rental towels and rags, on the other hand, can be used for several unrelated tasks – and pose many risks as a result. For example, it is common to find leftover grease, solvents and even metal shavings on rental towels or buttons or sequins on rags, which can damage vehicles and ultimately tarnish business as a result. Rags arrive at your facility in a disorganized heap looking more like a laundry pile than cleaning tools. Identifying the right product for the task is more important than you thought! Try a better performing solution with Tork task-based disposable wipers, such as the Tork Industrial Cleaning Cloth. Tork disposable wipers provide end-users with a fresh, clean and hygienic wiper every time – free from any impurities or residue. In fact, research proves that using a disposable cleaning cloth requires up to 20 percent less effort, up to 23 percent less time and up to 40 percent less solvent to complete a task compared with rags and rental cloths (Panel test conducted by Swerea Research Institute, Sweden, 2014). Tork wipers also take up to 80 percent less space than rags or rental shop towels, resulting in savings on transportation, storage and disposal costs. Disposable wiper packaging can also help create a more efficient, clean and organized workplace. Rental towels and rags usually are clumped together in large boxes or bins that take up space and are difficult to place in easy to access locations. Wiper dis- pensers, on the other hand, can easily be mounted in a conven- ient location, and many options are portable. Dispensers and pro- tective poly packaging also pro- tect the wipers from contamina- tion/over spray. One-at-a-time dispensing allows for technicians to only take what they need, which in turn minimizes waste. Tork wipers can help your facility achieve its goals when it comes to improving productivity, efficiency and hygiene while also cutting costs. Above all, you'll show both customers and employees that your business goes the extra mile and cares about the details.

New Beverages from Body Surf Body Surf Brands, Inc., founded in 2017 and located in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, is committed to helping people journey through a more productive life with healthy hydration. It is estimated that up to 70 percent of people live in a state of chronic dehydration and are unaware of their condition. After 24 years in the beverage industry, Founder Jerry Wilson embarked on a two-year effort to create, produce and market a different kind of beverage. Certified USDA Organic, tasty and low-calorie (≤ 15 calories/16 ounce bottle), Body Surf Organic Infused Water was introduced to the market in December 2017. The prod- uct is currently available in four unique flavor infusions: Cucumber+Mint, Blueberry+Lavender, Strawberry+Mint and Mango+Yuzu. Since its launch, natural foods mar- kets, convenience stores, restaurants, hospitality venues and many other chan- nels have selected Body Surf as an addi- tion to their beverage offering. In less than six months, the company is into its third production run and is now distrib- uted by Champion Brands, Inc., across the Northeast Florida territory. The com- pany is focused on building consumer, customer and distributor value while expanding across the United States. The tagline, says Wilson, who also calls him- self "Chief Hydration Officer," is "Whatever Your Journey, Surf Well Hydrated!" He adds that they hope to share the taste of Body Surf with thou- sands of leaders and engage in dialogue about the potential for this unique brand. Body Surf Organic Infused Water is gourmet water with a fresh and appealing taste. Additionally, it is marketed to be a higher volume, single-serve infused water that delivers great value to direct cus- tomers and their consumers. USDA Organic yet shelf stable, Body Surf brings a "best used by date" of 12 months from the date of production. The beverages can be stored in an ambient storage room prior to chilling while being merchandised in the grocery section at room temperature. The company believes Body Surf's retail customers will find these delicious beverages to be a welcome and prosper- ous product to offer to their consumers. The taste is very refreshing. The contain- ers are BPA free. Simply stated, the prod- uct checks all the boxes for retailers. Body Surf seeks consumers from healthy, active lifestyles as well as any individual looking for a healthy, change- of-pace beverage. The products have per- formed well in chilled grab-and-go occa- sions, meals, afternoon beverage breaks, and they are terrific as "skinny mixers" in an evening cocktail offering. Body Surf is proud to be a beverage that is not only parent-approved but actually enjoyed by children. Wilson concludes, "We are very proud of the positive reaction we have had from our customers and their con- sumers. Although Body Surf was designed with and for the Millennial pop- ulation, we have seen our user base range from younger children to baby boomers. This is a great hydration option for any- one seeking gourmet water without the fuss of hand making an infused drink." For more information, go to www.drink bodysurf.com or call 904.602.9930.
