Tagging with beta-particles at the focal plane of a recoil separator has been shown to be an effective technique for the study of exotic proton-rich nuclei. This article describes three new pieces of apparatus used to greatly improve the sensitivity of the recoil-beta tagging technique. These include a highly-pixelated double-sided silicon strip detector, a plastic phoswich detector for discriminating high-energy beta-particles, and a charged-particle veto box. The performance of these new detectors is described and characterised, and the resulting improvements are discussed.
