About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Tote Systems Introduces Powder Blender Solution for Safer and More Efficient Bulk Handling

By: Get News
Designed for food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and nutraceutical industries, the new system streamlines powder processing by reducing contamination risks and minimizing downtime in high-demand environments.

Tote Systems, a long-standing leader among IBC Tote Manufacturers, has announced the release of its latest Powder Blender designed for industrial-scale powder mixing and handling. Built to meet the growing needs of industries that demand precision, safety, and compliance, the blender integrates seamlessly with existing Bulk Handling Systems to improve processing efficiency and product quality.

Powder blending remains a critical stage in material processing, particularly in industries where batch consistency and contamination control are essential. Traditional blending often requires multiple transfer steps between containers and equipment, creating opportunities for errors, segregation, and contamination. Tote Systems’ container-based Powder Blender solves this challenge by allowing mixing to occur directly within Industrial Tote Bins, eliminating unnecessary transfers while reducing time and labor requirements.

The closed-loop design of the blender maintains product integrity from start to finish. By keeping materials contained in one stainless steel tote throughout the blending cycle, the system minimizes cleaning, reduces validation time, and supports compliance with FDA and cGMP protocols. These features make the solution particularly valuable for manufacturers working with high-value powders or regulated products where safety and efficiency cannot be compromised.

The Powder Blender is engineered with safety and performance in mind. It includes programmable blending speeds ranging from 2 to 20 RPM, Allen Bradley PLC controls, and optional remote operation panels. Operators benefit from features such as safety interlocks, gate lockouts, and NEMA 4x electrical enclosures, ensuring both ease of use and workplace safety. The durable stainless-steel construction undergoes chemical cleaning and passivation, reinforcing reliability in demanding environments.

Industries such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food production, and chemicals stand to gain the most from this technology. By eliminating multiple transfers and extra handling, manufacturers can significantly reduce downtime while maintaining high blend uniformity. The solution also minimizes the risk of segregation, a common issue in powder processing, leading to more consistent and repeatable results across batches.

The launch of the Powder Blender underscores Tote Systems’ continued commitment to designing bulk handling equipment that adapts to modern production needs. With decades of experience serving global manufacturers, the company has established itself as a trusted provider of Industrial Tote Bins, blenders, bin lifts, and discharge stations. Each product is developed to integrate with automated systems, supporting efficient and contamination-free processing at scale.

Tote Systems began its journey in 1946 when its founder designed one of the first bulk handling containers to replace heavy bagged flour. Since then, the company has grown into a recognized manufacturer of stainless steel industrial totes and material handling equipment, serving industries worldwide. Today, Tote Systems remains dedicated to advancing Bulk Handling Systems with innovative solutions that help manufacturers improve material flow, reduce risks, and maintain compliance across regulated environments.
