Hyperspectral Sorting System for Bacon Bits
Key Technology,+1 877-878-4631
Key Technology has introduce its new, integrated hyperspectral sorting system for chilled bacon bits. The sorter combines near-infrared (NIR) hyperspectral detection with color cameras, and Key's VERYX® BioPrint® analyzes a rich set of data about the materials it is sorting to remove the smallest bone fragments and other difficult-to-detect foreign material and product defects. When integrated with Key's vibratory conveyors, the new bacon bit sorting line improves food safety and product quality while maximizing efficiencies, improving yield, and reducing labor.

High-Throughput Oxygen Permeation Analyzer
AMETEK MOCON, +1 763-493-6370
AMETEK MOCON® has expanded its portfolio of permeation analyzers with the introduction of the new HR model to the OX-TRAN® 2/28 instrument series. In 2020, AMETEK MOCON introduced the 2/28 H, a high-throughput oxygen permeation analyzer featuring a unique four-cell capability, patented COULOX® Sensor, and fully automated temperature and flow controls. For QA/QC labs performing frequent Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) tests, the 2/28 reduces testing time, simplifies workflow, and enables more repeatable results. The 2/28 H was designed for dry testing conditions, with a set relative humidity (RH) of 0 percent. For labs that need to more closely match environmental conditions or previous testing data when conducting OTR analysis, AMETEK MOCON has expanded the OX-TRAN 2/28 to include the 2/28 HR model, which allows precise control of RH for test gas.
Upgraded Environmental Monitoring Platform
Novolyze, +1 301-241-6261
Novolyze has announced the release of advanced predictive data modeling and analytics enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for its Sanitation Complete and environmental monitoring platform (EMP). The latest release enables Novolyze's technology to automatically generate trend charts and digital heat maps using historical and real-time data from multiple data inputs. Enriching existing reporting capabilities, the new trend charts and heat maps provide a visually intuitive and comprehensive view for identifying high-risk areas, outbreak forecasting, and prediction of where and when foodborne pathogens may present during certain process times and seasons.
Traceability System to Manage Production in Real Time
SIMBA Solutions, +1 800-342-3999
Traceability can unlock value in the food industry, both up and down the production and distribution chain. The SIMBA system collects real-time production, traceability, inventory, and shipping information using touch computers and barcoding. The Logistics module within the full SIMBA system manages finished goods inventory, including locations, moves, adds, and shipping to a customer, order, and other fields. The module uses mobile barcode scanners to perform all functions, either in batch mode (for unreliable wireless connections) or using WiFi in real time. SIMBA quickly labels and records product at receiving, thereby reducing data entry, and traces product indefinitely with well-kept records for ease of auditing. Operators can trace fresh food back to the boat or field from which it came, the day it was processed and packed, and everywhere it has been since.
PFAS-Free Pulp Formulations for Food Packaging
Sabert Corporation, +1 800-722-3781
Sabert Corporation has launched the new Pulp Plus and Pulp Max proprietary molded fiber blends without the intentional inclusion of added per- and polyfluoralkyl substances (PFAS). As part of its commitment to eliminating all intentionally added PFAS from its product portfolio by the end of 2023, Sabert's new pulp formulations are designed to assist customers in achieving their sustainability goals. The molded fiber blends utilize fibers embedded with non-fluorine-based additives to enhance product performance and are tested for use with a wide variety of today’s most popular food applications. Pulp Plus and Pulp Max comply with BPI guidelines for compostability and are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as safe for food contact. Pulp Plus has been developed with improved moisture resistance, eliminating "soggy" bottoms that can come with warm and moisture-rich foods. Suited for grab-n-go applications, Pulp Plus can also extend the shelf life in refrigeration for 4–7 days.
Disinfectant for Candida auris and Biofilm
EvaClean, +1866-666-2305
When EvaClean Infection Prevention Solutions introduced PurOne, it was the first disinfectant to be U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered against dry surface biofilm, which, at present, still only a handful of products claim. Now, EPA has approved the updated master label for PurOne to include a soft surface sanitizer claim, shorter dwell times, and an official Candida auris claim, making PurOne among the few products registered as effective against both biofilm and C. auris on List P. Another important upgrade to the new label is considerably faster contact times for over 40 different bacteria, viruses, and fungi, most achieved at lower concentrations.

‘Do Not Refreeze’ Label
SpotSee, +1 800.846.2468
SpotSee has released its ‘Do Not Refreeze’ label to ensure food quality and safety throughout the supply chain and within commercial food environments. Once food has gone through a freeze/thaw cycle, the quality and/or safety of food can be compromised if it is refrozen. After placing the ‘Do Not Refreeze’ label on the packaging, if the temperature drops below –15 °C/5 °F, the text turns dark blue and alerts handlers that the product cannot be frozen again.

Metal-Detectable Safety Knives
MARTOR, +49 212.738.700
The SECUMAX 150 MDP extends MARTOR’s family of metal-detectable safety knives. The knives remain detectable if lost—even the smallest parts—and, therefore, have no long-term adverse impacts on sensitive production processes. Weighing only 31 grams, the SECUMAX 150 MDP is made of plastic that is metal- and X-ray-detectable. The SECUMAX 150 MDP is also safe when cutting. Its concealed blade means that the sharp cutting edge never gets too close to either its user or the packaged goods. The outer blade area, used for scraping off labels and splitting adhesive tape, is also non-sharp.
