Biscuit output improvements
29 October, 2009 | Supplied by: SPX FLOW TECHNOLOGY AUSTRALIA PTY LTD
Baker Perkins claims that the output of existing biscuit lines can be boosted by between 15 and 25% by installing their Angled World Wirecut. Productivity is increased by laying down the biscuits at an angle to create ‘nested’ patterns that improve utilisation of the baking surface: the increase in yield depends on cookie size.

Offered in packaged and OEM configurations, these sensors are able to fulfil a variety of installation requirements.
Powdered food hoses
29 October, 2009
Trelleborg Industrial Hose has launched a compound for food hoses that prevents the accelerated wear usually associated with static dissipation when transferring powdered foodstuffs. Following extensive laboratory tests and in applications with end-users, the company can offer a white food-grade compound that is conductive enough to dissipate static electrical charges, according to ISO 8031, while meeting the requirements of FDA 21 CFR 177.2600. Critical tests with sugar have given good results, proving the service life of the hose is increased tenfold when compared to a non-conductive white food-grade hose.
