Multi-Fill Launch

Multi-Fill have launched a new version of their tried and trusted MPFSC120 volumetric depositor, to better respond to evolving customer needs and the latest industry standards. The new design will ease cleaning and maintenance and has a beneficial impact on safety and efficiency. A leaflet detailing the changes and illustrating the new design can be downloaded from our “Brochures” page . Other depositors in Multi-Fill’s range have been updated in the same way and information on these is also available in the Brochures page. Our new Multi-Fill MPFSC120 demonstrator has just been delivered to our pilot plant in Cheshire and any of our customers who are interested in a trial on their products should contact us to register their interest and arrange a demonstration. We look forward to hearing from you.

STERIFLOW open new pilot plant

STERIFLOW, leading manufacturer of overpressure batch retorts, have announced the opening of a new pilot plant at their factory in Roanne, France, which will be completed at the end of February 2009. The main feature of the new pilot plant will be the SHAKA retort, which can dramatically reduce cycle times for heat processed foods. The benefit of the shorter SHAKA process is improved product quality in terms of taste and texture. Analysis of various foodstuffs processed with the SHAKA retort have also shown that less vitamins are destroyed by the heat process in SHAKA, as compared to processes on static or rotary retorts. STERIFLOW welcome all enquiries for trials on their equipment; SHAKA, rotary or static pilot retorts.
