Lantech’s Q-300XT stretch wrapping machine is said to improve operator friendliness with a larger load-placement window for its automatic film cut-and-clamp system. Designed to eliminate fork-driver dismounts, the patented XT film cut-and-clamp system features space-age composite parts and allows a 10-inch offset for most loads, while providing automatic attachment of the film to the load and cutting the film upon completion of the wrap cycle.

Spirax Sarco released the target variable area (TVA) flowmeter, designed for use on saturated steam. Available in DN50, DN80 and DN100 models, it offers a wide flow range turndown of 50:1, making it ideal for applications with large variations in flow rates. The integral electronics unit removes the need for a differential pressure transmitter, impulse lines and additional equipment, while a built-in temperature sensor provides full density compensation and enables power, energy, flow, total flow, pressure and temperature to be displayed on the on-board LCD display. All flow parameters are fully configured on a keypad.

National Starch presents Precisa Cream 10, a starch-based optimized texture system that reduces or replaces milk-fat in dairy products while enhancing creaminess. Precisa Cream 10 was developed using a patent-pending Dial-In texture technology to impart the key textural attributes (mouth-coating, oral viscosity, soft gel structure). It also cuts costs by replacing more expensive ingredients, can be labeled as modified food starch, delivers consumer-preferred texture, is compatible with current processes, can withstand the high temperature and shear profiles typically associated with HTST/UHT processes and maintains product quality throughout its shelf life via stability and syneresis control.
