Nansulate Translucent GP insulation and mold resistant coating by Industrial Nanotech was created for insulation of food processing equipment to reduce energy costs. It cleanly insulates with a moisture-, mold- and corrosion-resistant formula that also reduces heat transfer to lower energy demand. This clear coating is water-based, non-toxic, low odor and low voc, and insulates surfaces up to 256°F.

Using water “polishing” techniques from GEA Filtration helps recycle the process water for cleaning purposes, or even to return it to the process, creating a plant self-sufficient in water. The “white water” is collected and treated using reverse osmosis, allowing the solids recovered to be returned to the process.

Gamajet Cleaning Systems releases the Intrepid, a low-flow, full-coverage rinsing machine that offers fast, validated tank rinsing using 80% less water than the standard spray ball at the same pressure. This type of cleaning is ideal for cleaning light liquids and powders. The Intrepid utilizes a unique “direct-drive” design, requiring no gear reduction. The average operating conditions are between 10-80 psi and 5-20 gallons per minute.

Fortress Technology introduced the Stealth metal detector, which offers full backwards compatibility, ensuring spare parts and upgrades are readily available for existing systems. Other features include digital signal processing technology, which provides high-speed precision detection, while ultra-sensitivity levels detect the smallest metal contaminants. Meanwhile, automatic testing and calibration allow for simple operation, and the true auto-balance enables recovery from large metal contaminants to avoid detector “blindness.”

The Klean-In-Place rotary airlock feeder from Meyer & Sons is a special-purpose valve suited for dairy plants. No tools are required to remove the head plate, which is attached to the valve housing with easily unscrewed release handles. The four-slide bar supports, using linear bearings, provide maximum support of the rotor while it’s pulled out, allowing for the valve to be thoroughly cleaned, sanitized and inspected. The unique design incorporates a built-in device that automatically re-establishes the close dimensional tolerances between the rotor and housing and a safety interlock switch.

MasoSine’s sine pump technology is said to produce powerful suction with low shear and no pulsation. Large, open cavities allow the transfer of curd with little damage, producing a higher yield and fat content while reducing fines. Undamaged curd requires less dressing, reduces fines and prevents plugs in the drain table, resulting in less downtime and higher productivity.

Utilizing a proprietary process, Z Trim from Z Trim Ingredients is created from either oat hull or corn bran to create powdered cellulose, yet still deliver smooth mouthfeel, easy dispersability and flavor neutrality. Z Trim enables formulators to replace more costly ingredients such as soybean oil or dairy solids. For example, Z Trim blended with skim milk replaced 30% of the cream cheese in a cheesecake formulation, while maintaining a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and texture. Z Trim also improves the nutrition profile as well, in this instance, cutting out 25% of the fat content.
