Phil Brown, Sales Director at Fortress Technology Europe explores how one of the most powerful strategies to address inefficiencies is to strengthen inline and end-of-line food safety inspection processes.

Energy costs are an important aspect of operating expenditure in food production, given the range of thermal processes on which the sector relies, argues Ian Holland, Sales Manager at Armstrong Industrial, a division of Armstrong Fluid Technology.

ifm has launched the LMH point level sensor, a robust solution engineered for reliable medium detection in demanding industrial environments. Designed to operate continuously at high temperatures up to 250 degC, the new sensor addresses critical challenges in sectors such as food production, pharmaceuticals, and chemical processing.

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.
