Vision can be deployed in a number of different ways on a food processing line to tell if food is safe to eat and meets the quality standards demanded by retailers. Now the kind of hyperspectral technology that NASA has used to study planets and plant life is being applied to the food that ends up on household plates.
SAMSON and InfraServ Wiesbaden Join Forces to Develop Digital Information System for Biological Water Treatment Plant in Industrial Park
The world’s first calibration facility for LNG flowmeters, the LNG Research & Calibration Laboratory, which has been developed by the Netherlands-based metrological institute VSL in collaboration with international partners, is now in operation at the Port of Rotterdam. Together with partners, Endress+Hauser supplied the laboratory with flow, temperature and pressure instruments for LNG measurements.
Restrictions relating to the pandemic are currently affecting all economic sectors and no one knows how long this will last. But one thing is certain: production processes must continue or restart, and interrupted new projects must be resumed as soon as possible.
How specifying geared motors in stainless steel design or specialised finishes can help reduce HACCP risk factors.
A rotary lobe, a multi screw and a progressing cavity pump – on a floating production and storage unit on the high seas, optimally solve a range of pumping tasks with displacement pumps from a single source.
Evolving pump impeller technology helps wastewater companies in the ongoing battle against blockages.
When vandals damaged the CHP control panels at EDL’s Wellingborough landfill site, rendering the engines unusable, the timing could not have been worse. One week before Easter 2020, the coronavirus pandemic was sweeping the UK.
Smart universal marshalling can minimise costly downtime, simplify operations and deliver better TCO, says Roger Highton, MTL Product Line Manager, Eaton.

Precision weighing and quality control inspection technology is an important element in any processing operation. Reducing giveaway and ensuring food safety both remain significant contributors to profitability.
The highly accurate measurement of various products with specific characteristics, often under harsh conditions, is an enormous challenge for process instrumentation – while meeting the requirements of safety-related approvals.
As a measurement technique, guided wave radar is established: the equipment is robust, the technology is mature, and the primary application niches have emerged. The problem - until now - was that the instrumentation was notoriously difficult to install.
