With the expandable bung/cam locking system, the Rack-it-Teer makes the wine racking process faster and uses less purging gas. It allows for the filling and emptying of 10 or more barrels to each bottle of purging gas used, assuming gas is used to fill or empty the wine barrel.
MECO seals are custom-designed and manufactured to each application, and can retrofit most process equipment. The seals incorporate up to 6 mm of shaft run-out capacity into its seal designs. Seals are available either un-split or fully split, to permit installation without removal of drive or bearings.
The Unity Scientific range of SpectraStar NIR analysers are suitable for lab locations and at manufacturing lines and will deliver the user time and cost savings in quality control efforts.
FoodLab analysers use fast and accurate methods to measure the oxidisation status of edible oils/fats, essential oils and determine the parameters required to establish whether dairy products, edible mashes, eggs, dried fruit, tomatoes etc have been produced and preserved correctly.
SBC Bottling and Canning S.p.a. of Italy has developed a Unique Hot Fill Technology, which is available via HBM Packaging Technologies. The equipment is specifically designed for products such as juices, isotonics and sport drinks, teas and soups.
Tennant’s electrically-activated water system electrically charges plain tap water, making it behave like a powerful detergent without any added chemicals.
MECO offers custom shaft seals for slow-turning bulk process equipment. Because no standard seals will work properly in every application, MECO engineers specify the design and construction materials for each seal according to actual shaft diameter, speed, clearance, process chemistry, temperature, pressure variation, thermal shaft growth, etc.
The robag3 ttx, also known as the the 'twin configuration', combines two VFFS machines in a compact footprint, lowers utility costs and waste while providing high-performance packaging.
Spray Nozzle Engineering has released the Strahman M-70 Automatic Water Saver Spray Nozzle for use in the cleaning and washdown process in the food, beverage and dairy industries.
