Master-tech.ro furnizorul de cântare

Într-o societate de consum, nevoia de cântare variate este stringentă. Cu ajutorul cântarelor de bucătărie realizăm rețete noi, ținem direct sub control hrana pe care o consumăm și în mod indirect greutatea. Sedentarismul și greșelile alimentare au determinat creșterea obezității la nivel mondial, din păcate și național,  așa se explică faptul că în fiecare familie există un cântar de baie.

Micii și marii producători au ca obiectiv distribuirea mărfurilor și ca să nu fie înșelați trec la categoria mijloacelor fixe de producție cântarele. Cel mai sigur este cântarul tău, nu cel al clientului. Cel mai cinstit este cântarul cumpărat de la Master-tech.ro, fiindcă distribuitorul își educă perment clienții explicându-le încă de la cumpărare că instrumentele trebuie supuse verificării metrologice în laboratoare de specialitate autorizate, anual.

Deținătorii unor Ferme de legume, livezi sau ferme zootehnice trebuie să-și completeze investiția neapărat cu cântar auto din motive economice. Mulți cumpărători renunță în momentul în care observă că marfa este cântărită improvizat: în cantități mici, care presupun eforturi supraomenești și pierdere de timp și cu cântare care înșeală.

Vă imaginați ce înseamnă să cântărești pe rând mii de lăzi pline cu mere sau pere, fructe perisabile, care ar fi puse dintr-un loc în altul și s-ar bate. La ce stres și efort ar fi supuși angajații.

Nu întotdeauna clienții vin la fermă cu camioanele să-și cumpere fructe și legume proaspete. Uneori ei vin cu mașinile proprii, de aceea și un cântar electronic 300 kg ar fi la fel de util. Motostivuitorul s-ar putea opri la marginea platformei industriale de cântărire și ar lăsa ușor lăzile pe cântar. Clientul ar constata direct greutatea și ar achita-o fericit. În timp ce cântarul auto ar fi așezat afară, ca autocamioanele să aibă spațiu de întors și de desfășurarea, clienții care cumpără în cantități mici, ar fi serviți în halele de producție, evitându-se aglomerația, dar și cozile inutile.

Și vițelul pentru botez sau nuntă poate fi luat direct de la fermă. Deși clientul nu suportă să vadă sacrificarea animalului pe viu, dorește în schimb să vadă ce mănâncă sau ce oferă invitaților săi.

Vițelul cel gras nesesită un cântar 500 kg care prins de o suprafață solidă permite jupuirea animalului, scoaterea intestinelor, curățarea și porționarea adecvată a cărnii.

Unul dintre meritele deosebite ale dispozitivului este durata mare a afișajului. Un sfert de oră, clientul poate citi afișajul greutății mărfii pe care o cumpără. Caracterele de 30 mm, cu LED roșu sunt vizibile și nu dau naștere confuziilor. Faptul că sunt utilizate numai în interior este un avantaj. Carnea este procesată în condiții igienice și poate fi spălată din abundențăde sânge în hale.

Și în construcții cântarele sunt necesare. Cele autorelocabile pentru ciment, tablă și prefabricate în cantități foarte mari, cele electronice de 300-500kg pentru reparațiile realizate în gospodăriile individuale.

Magazinul personalizează ofertele, indiferent de opțiunea clientului și este recomandat de cele 170 de cântare auto relocabile din țară. Termenul de garanție al produselor de  doi ani, este generos, iar experiența de 15 ani în domeniile cântărire și metrologie ar trebui să vă determine să cumpărați cântare de pe Master-Tech. Cifra de afaceri este în creștere, în anul 2012 acesta fiind de 500 000 de euro.

Beer Soap Opera

We opened WTB in 2005 with the idea we would sell 24 oz PBR cans. They come from a different brewery than the 12 oz cans.

So we couldn't get the 24 oz cans for most of the season and then we got them in.. and finished 2005 with them.

In 2006, we switched to 100% keg beer. PBR was at that point NOT legally available in Queens. You could get it in Brooklyn and Manhattan but NOT Queens.. Yes, NYS alcohol laws are so very interesting...

So in 2006, we switched to Schaefer beer. It's made by the same company that makes PBR and it's a personal favorite. We (the Water Taxi) also stops at the Schaefer landing area (south side Williamsburg) in Brooklyn... so it seemed like a good fit.

Now, as we approach 2007, we assumed we would be selling Schaefer again. However, PBR is now available in Queens. After much careful thought and deliberation, we have decided once again to switch things up and this year, 2007, we will be selling DRAFT PBR!!

New Tech old sand...

We are trying to work with all of the new tech out there.. but trying to use it to improve the experience at the beach.

We have signed up for both Myspace.com and Dodgeball.com accounts. We expect to use these to SMS/Txt message and/or email folks about weather openings and closings..

We have also used Cafepress to set up a online store. It has logos, photos, and more logos.. If that's your thing, please check it out... Shop for Water Taxi Beach Stuff

Beach Grows in Brooklyn?

Tom Fox CEO of NY Water Taxi has been working on a proposal for a beach in Brooklyn's Red Hook neighborhood. Located at Atlantic Basin it would include a new High School, workspace for artists, historical ships, a new home for the Water Taxi fleet, a park area and a beach.

Beach Soccer

Beach soccer was fun at the end of the season.. We are expecting it will be even more fun in the spring when things warm-up..

Check out this link for a video about Beach Soccer

To sign up for the Beach Soccer for next year, follow this link When they ask which league, sign up for the "Summer Beach" league.

2007 plannig

yes, the Winter hasn't started and yes and we are fast at work planning out the 2007 beach season.

We hope to book a few Weddings in May and June of '06

The major summer weekends (July & August) will be filled with an assortment of DJs spin music from around the region and the world. We expect Saturday nights in the summer to feature our ReBound Party.

There are two easy truism for NYC residents; they love food and they love film. The question is do they love film about food?

We think the answer is YES, especially if they can taste some of the food that's appearing up on the silver screen! We are going to try to host NYC's first annual Food Film Festival.

Because we want to cook some of the food that will be shown, we have to spread out the festival over 3 different weekends. Our current plans are to do two of them in June and the last one in September.

Since we don't know anyone else who knows more about food and flim, the series will be curated by documentary filmmakerGeorge Motz.

So what food will be be cooking? Well, we are not going to try to make every item from every film we show. In fact we are not even going to try to make an item from every film. One weekend we will cook regional American burgers, one weekend we will do southern style BBQ and the 3rd weekend is still up grabs, depending on what movies we can book.

We are working out the details to have Robert Richter run the smoker. He is a NYC based competion BBQer and the Pitmaster and consultant for Hill Country BBQ. He has already guest chef'd at Water Taxi Beach. If we can work out the details he will produce 3 days of lip smacking goodness!

We are Open

It's Sunday Oct 1st. There was a bit of rain this AM, but it's Noon and the Sky is Blue and Sunny.

Sunday

It's been a very eventful weekend. The most interesting part is that the weather man has been wrong in our favor. Don't that we didn't have some rain but not a long and not any yesterday from open to close...

That doesn't mean there still isn't some on the way... Although we are about to open up for Sunday there is still the threat of some mid day thunderstorms… it's also Sunny and 75 degrees warm!

Yesterday we put up the Western and Northern side walls of our Tent.. so we are, more than ever, ready to weather any storm...

Yesterday was small fry compared to our more "busy" Saturday’s in the "heat' of the summer… but it was notable. We had many people who came after 10pm to hear and dance to our DJ. Included in that group was Jon and Mark from Pukka; it was nice to see them hang out w/ out having to "spin."

Of course they will be here in a few hours to spin the afternoon and night away!

Sept. 23 we are open

Sept 23rd, Saturday.. Yes, we are open..

23rd and 24th

We have a core crew at the beach today with a weather eye on the horizon... if weather permits we will open. Otherwise, we are painting and cleaning :)

the near–mythical Water Taxi Beach

Just discovered a really nice write up about us and a visit to NYC focused mostly on the outer B's then Manhattan..

"...Then it was Sunday, bright and shining, and the non–dietary goal of my visit was at hand. The MTA's line 7 trundled westwards towards Manhattan but I got off at Long Island City for the walk to the near–mythical Water Taxi Beach. It was everything I'd dreamed – ratlands, etc..."

I'm hoping that ref to ratlands is a good things...
