Danfoss Power Solutions has announced the launch of its Vickers by Danfoss Variable Speed Drive (VSD) solutions, featuring induction motor and servo motor VSD solutions, offering a broad range of power, dynamics, and control options.

Frozen food production lines move fast, with ready meals, bags of vegetables or rows of patties passing through inspection technology in seconds, locked in sub-zero temperatures. From the outside, everything appears consistent, however within each frozen product, density varies, ingredients overlap and physical contaminants can be hidden. This is where x-ray inspection truly excels in meeting demanding inspection challenges, as Mettler-Toledo market manager Adam Green explains.

Inductive heating is rapidly gaining importance in food processing and food-related packaging systems. The technology enables reproducible temperatures and short response times while meeting high hygiene standards. Kendrion consistently applies this proven principle to food and packaging machinery, with scalable systems for inductive heating and industrial surface heating.

Fortress Technology explores how hygienic design choices align with the "sanitation first" priorities identified by processors in the PMMI 2025 Food Safety and Sanitation Trends report.

KNF announces the introduction of four new diaphragm pump features for Flow, Pressure, and Vacuum Control as well as Versatile Dosing. The company says these solutions set a new benchmark for precision, reliability, and adaptability.

norelem is extending its product range with new spring hinges made of stainless steel, offering a robust solution for moving flaps, doors or covers independently to a specified position, or for returning them.

Steam powers a wide range of modern industrial processes, and getting steam control right is critical, not just for application performance, but also for efficiency, maintenance and safety requirements. Specialist training on steam system design and management ensures that engineering teams can optimise their systems and develop tailored solutions, as Kieran Bennett, technical sales engineer at Burkert, explains.

OMRON has introduced the VHV5 Inline Verifier, a high-speed barcode verification system designed to verify 1D, 2D, and Direct Part Mark (DPM) codes directly on the production line.

We asked the experts at Applied Pumps for their top three things to look for when choosing food grade pumps.

To monitor filtration systems, many large industrial breweries use special turbidity meters that offer higher measurement accuracy using a two-angle method with 90deg and 25deg/11deg, but they represent a significant cost factor. For small and medium-sized breweries, Andersen-Negele says its ITM-4DW four-beam turbidity sensor with 90deg and 180deg measurement angles offers an equally good solution for many applications.
