Efficient cleaning will make you win time
Johan Roels International Sales Manager Food J-Tec Material Handling J-Tec Material Handling provides process engineering solutions to market leaders in the food industry and chemical industry all over the world. As a process partner we go beyond designing and building installations. For the food industry specifically, the operational cost of the installation is already taken into account at the design stage. First, we examine the actual cleaning time in existing installations. Then we analyse how the process can be optimized and how these optimisations can be processed in new installations. Frequently and for long periods shutting down an installation for cleaning and maintenance purposes is detrimental to a factory`s efficiency. In the food industry, particularly in sectors where contaminations can occur, it is essential to minimize the number of cleanings on the one hand and optimize the cleaning times on the other.

Hense Wägetechnik introduces new economic Solid Flow Meter
Cost-effective ”eco-FlowSlide” complements the flow measurements range for free-fall appli With the ”Eco-FlowSlide” Hense Wägetechnik complements the series ”Baby-FlowSlide”, ”FlowSlide” and ”Maxi FlowSlide” with a flow measurement system, which is made entirely of stainless steel (1.4301 or 1.4721) and is nevertheless priced significantly cheaper than the established standard FlowSlide devices. How is that possible? The standard FlowSlide systems are manufactured with the highest possible precision on 5-axis machining centers. For weight reasons, 12 mm thick plates made of high-quality, seawater resistant aluminium are used. The manufacturing tolerances are below 0.02 mm. Due to the parallelism of the screwed components, no additional seals are required. The product-touching parts of the FlowSlide measuring system consist of polished stainless steel or wear-resistant ”HARDOX 400”. The new system of inexpensive, edged stainless steel sheets, does not quite reach the high measuring accuracy of the standard FlowSlides. This is caused

The task in the laboratory is as follows: „Each laboratory sample is to be prepared with a verifiable procedure which guarantees a complete homogenisation, ground finely and meticulously mixed. “ The regulation allows two means: 1. The nuts in the shell may be peeled and the aflatoxin content is to be determined for the edible share. This might be still feasible for peanuts. With walnuts, filberts or almonds this is very problematic though. 2. The other possibility is to use the nuts „inside the shell“ for the sample preparation.

AZO COMPONENTER® Step Automatic weighing of micro components AZO at the IBA 2018
AZO COMPONENTER® Step Automatic weighing of micro components
AZO at the IBA 2018 Until now, minor and micro components had to be weighed manually, thus entailing risks and potential errors. These grow with the number of components and batches, and with the required weighing and metering accuracy. This has an adverse effect on product safety and quality overall. Manual operations may under certain circumstances require a large number of staff and demands a high degree of concentration from them during weighing processes. They are to some extent exposed to relatively high amounts of dust. Occasionally automatic dosing units are also employed, which meter the ingredients onto a weigh belt feeder. However these require substantial outlay for cleaning; neither can they prevent cross-contamination. In order to resolve the problems described above, AZO is expanding its already extensive portfolio for automation of minor and micro quantities with the AZO COMPONENTER® Step. This system makes it possible to weigh minor and micro components automatically
