HK Instrument Systems’ HK-1 is a microwave-based measuring system that measures total solids during ultra filtration and other filtration processes. By continuously monitoring the total solids of raw milk or whey, the producer can have better control over the total solids, eliminate hand samples, completely automate UF methods, produce a less variable product and improve efficiencies upstream.

Buchi introduces the NIRMaster, the newest addition to its portfolio of NIRSolutions. This instrument is the first stand-alone FT-NIR spectrometer that has been specifically designed with hygiene in mind for the food and feed industries. The NIRMaster is available in food-grade polymer and stainless-steel housings (both in protection class IP54 and IP65). Further, its unique polarization interferometer provides the instrument with high sensitivity, ensuring accurate and reliable results, as well as a level of robustness not typically found in instruments with other interferometer designs. Plus, its internal laser reference eliminates the need for frequent, expensive instrument standardizations, saving users time and money.

Bosch Packaging introduces its intelligent transport system (ITS), a product infeed unit for horizontal flow wrappers. ITS balances out product flow irregularities, creates defined spaces and synchronizes product and film speeds. The system also ensures careful product transport of sensitive and non-accumulable food and confectionery products. It achieves output levels of up to 1,400 products per minute, and is powered by linear motors, in which more than 30 rotors are moved independently.

Neogen’s newly validated BetaStar Plus test (AOAC-RI 021107) detects dairy antibiotic residues in the beta-lactam group (penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, cephapirin, ceftiofur and cloxacillin), at or below FDA regulatory levels. BetaStar Plus is an extremely simple dipstick test that requires only minimal training and equipment to produce consistently accurate results. It is also one of the fastest dairy antibiotic residue tests available, and can be used on the farm, tanker or in the laboratory. In just five minutes, BetaStar Plus gives clear results, with one line of detection specifically for ceftiofur. The test can be used with Neogen’s AccuScan III reader for accurate record keeping and data analysis.

Polypack built a new wrap-around case packer to complement its existing line of shrink-wrap equipment. When compared to traditional RSC cases, the new case packer offers up to 30% savings on corrugate and uses die-cut corrugate blanks and forms by first loading the product onto the blanks. The end result is a tightly packed case that offers superior support for thin chipboard cases. The new case packer also features multi-layer packaging capability, servo-controlled gantry product loading system, automatic changeover adjustments and processes up to 20 cases per minute.
