New System Creates Flexible Safety Zone Around Process Equipment
Castell’s new QuadCam safety system uses 3-dimensional imaging technology to eliminate the potential for human error or tampering with machine guarding equipment in food processing environments. The 3D detection technology identifies objects and people moving in and around machinery, distinguishing between one or more persons with real-time tracking of all people within its field of view. Machinery cannot be restarted until the entire detection zone is clear of unauthorized objects and people. The highly accurate detection system ignores background objects, avoiding nuisance alarms. The flexible system also allows users to define warning and shutdown zones.

Mooreganics Introduces New Functional Flavors
A flavor contributes just flavor to a product, but A.M. Todd’s new “organic functional flavors” can contribute a wide range of flavors as well as various functional aspects, such as color and nutrients (antioxidants, polyphenols, botanical extracts)—all in a single system. Within A.M. Todd, there are several divisions that offer organic ingredients and flavors, botanical extracts and citrus ingredients. Bringing these together in one functional ingredient eliminates having to source all these ingredients separately and ensures that everything tastes well together. These functional flavors also limit operational overhead and liability and help narrow information and origin trails.

New PEF Pasteurization System Does Not Alter Flavor Of Foods Or Juices
Diversified Technologies now offers a pulsed electric field (PEF) pasteurization system which can achieve >5-log bacteria kill without heat or chemicals with any “pump-able” food product. This system pasteurizes liquefied food product in a chamber by employing brief pulses of very high voltage to achieve >5-log bacteria kill. This FDA-approved system will not alter the flavor or consistency of foods or juices and can be custom engineered to provide up to 10,000 LPH throughput, yet it requires much less energy than conventional pasteurization methods because of pulsing.
