Gain More Control From The Extrusion Cooking Process
The Wenger Back Pressure Valve (BPV) is a cleverly engineered device
- with three valve functions - that can help fine-tune production by controlling
barrel pressure, providing relief of die pressure, and diverting extrudate
to waste when required. The BPV is especially useful during system
start-up and shut-down, but is also used during normal operation to adjust
for variations in material, keeping the extrusion process running efficiently.

Circularly Sustainable Packaging Solutions
The development of the Circular Pouch is one of Peel Plastic Products' biggest
steps in sustainability, to date. The radical combination of advanced
recycled (AR) and post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials can result in
over 50% recycled content used in these pouches, plus its recycle-ready
structure allows for the material to be used and collected for re-use, which
closes the loop. Take a step into the modern world of sustainability with this
innovative solution.

IX-PD Series X-ray Inspection System
Ishida's photon counting dual energy IX-PD series X-ray machine employs
an alternative sensor and accompanying image processing technology, providing
the highest sensitivity and accuracy of low-density and minute foreign
object (e.g., stainless steel wires) contaminant detection. This technology reduces
the rate of erroneous detection by accurately differentiating between
product and foreign objects, and image processing reduces operator oversight
by recognizing physical property differences to detect foreign objects.

Batch Weighing for Pet Food Processes
Coperion K-Tron's batch weigh vacuum receiver combines the operations
of conveying and weighing and is uniquely suited for handling dry pet food
ingredients prior to blending or mixing operations. Whether the application
requires a single ingredient to be delivered to multiple destinations, or multiple
ingredients to be delivered to a single destination, the batch weigh
receiver sequentially accommodates multiple ingredients.
