Loma Systems® launch X5 4″ Pipeline X-ray inspection system
Loma Systems, a global leader in inspection technologies for food quality and safety, has introduced a new product into its Pipeline portfolio with the launch of a 4” option. Perfect for inspection of pumped and free-flowing applications, such as large-formed hams and gammons, the product complements Loma’s Pipeline family, which is already available with product pipes of 2.5 and 3”, all offering excellent detection across a wide range of contaminants.
Following customer feedback highlighting the need for a product with 4″ couplings and higher throughput, Loma redesigned the Pipeline’s inlet and outlet manifold to accommodate the increase in diameter. The X-ray section itself is now rectangular, which changes the shape of the contents passing through the system, rather than compressing them. Additionally, the feed to the X-ray section is on a gradual incline to aid flow and reduce back pressure.
With its concentric diameter pipe, small footprint and great detection performance, the new X5 4″ Pipeline includes all of the standard features from the X5 range, but also has upgrades from the previous-generation model including a removable cassette for easy cleaning, integrated safety sensors and an easy-to-use capacitive 8” touchscreen, thereby ensuring the highest levels of regulatory compliance through real-time data collection. Providing easy access to all machine areas and rated to IP69 as standard, the system is designed to be used within a high-care or high-temperature, high-pressure wash-down environment.
Equally adept at inspecting fast, free-flowing products such as jam, chutneys, and even soups or sauces, the X5 Pipeline is the next generation in food contaminant detection and can be used for a variety of applications. Providing peace of mind that no contaminants will pass inspection, the unique X5 detector design offers excellent detection levels of all major contaminants, including bone, ceramic, glass and dense plastics as well as stainless steel, ferrous and nonferrous metals.
The X5 Pipeline can be fitted with ARU (2.5”) and ARL (2.5” or 3”,4”) automatic reject options to reduce waste and increase productivity, and is designed to be compatible with vacuum-filling machine brands such as Handtmann, Vemag and Risco.
“The addition of the new 4” X5 Pipeline shows Loma’s continued commitment to developing new and innovative inspection systems to meet industry needs,” said Loma’s Toby Kemp, director of marketing and innovation. “Listening to customers is key to understanding their pain points, enabling Loma to develop new products that not only create added-value, but also help build on our heritage.”

Sovereign Brands presents its newest extraordinary spirit: VILLON
Sovereign Brands has launched VILLON – an alluring spirit hand-crafted in southwestern France. Created by time-tested, small-batch traditions VILLON is made from an exquisite blend of spirits distilled from French wheat and natural flavours.
VILLON’S incredible palette of aromas has been created to echo the changing seasons – toasted oak evokes winter, vanilla and spice represent autumn; notes of orange blossom bring spring to mind, and summer is represented with delicate peach aromas. Luxuriously complex yet balanced, at 40% ALC/VOL VILLON can be served neat, over ice, or as the foundation of the perfect cocktail.
The spirit is named after François Villon, a medieval poet who lived on the margins of Parisienne society in the 1400’s. Villon wrote about love and sex, money trouble, dirty cops, lewd monks, “the thieving rich,” and the consolations of good food and wine. François Villon was one of the most original and important voices of the Middle Ages, who took his inspiration from the streets, taverns, and bordellos of Paris. He was also a thief and a brawler whose encounters with the law culminated in a drunken quarrel in which he killed a man with his dagger, and was sentenced to banishment. Villon then joined a wandering gang of thieves and was missing, presumed dead by 1463. Francois’s enigmatic story is the inspiration for the new spirit’s name as well as its image and ethos.
When it comes to the look and feel of this exquisite spirit, the devil is in the detail. The custom-made paperless black glass bottle is adorned with an eye-catching tarnished metal serpent-and-dagger motif. The serpent represents mystery, stealth, and cleverness – all qualities of the brand’s namesake. The dagger represents the Middle Ages, Bravery, Revenge, Sacrifice – and quite literally the dagger François Villon carried beneath his cloak. A silkscreened label, embossed details on the rear and bottom of the bottle and a heavyweight embossed silver stopper further elevate the brand’s striking package.
VILLON is owned by Sovereign Brands’ Brett and Brian Berish, creators of Luc Belaire sparkling wines, Bumbu Rums and McQueen and the Violet Fog gin. It is currently rolling out to bars, nightclubs and retailers in the UK. The Alchemist will be among the first bar and restaurant venues to launch, in London.
Villon is available for purchase on Amazon.co.uk and Master of Malt.

Made Smarter has launched a whitepaper to help SME food and beverage manufacturers accelerate their net zero plans.
‘Decarbonisation through Digitalisation: manufacturing made smarter and greener with technology’ is a practical guide to industry’s biggest challenge and opportunity.
The free-to-download document from the government-backed and industry-led technology adoption programme, aims to simplify a complex and fast-evolving topic by demystifying some of the terminology and analysing the latest research.
Crucially, the whitepaper offers insights about how a variety of technologies enable manufacturing and engineering businesses to make things smarter and greener, while powering growth and creating new highly skilled jobs.
The whitepaper showcases makers who have started their decarbonisation journeys with Made Smarter including potato processor Fylde Fresh and Fabulous, based in Preston.
It also signposts manufacturers to other initiatives including, Race to Zero, a campaign led by the United Nations, and the SME Climate Hub, a non-profit global initiative that empowers companies with tips and tools, including its Business Carbon Calculator.
Donna Edwards, Director of Made Smarter’s North West Adoption Programme, said: “Manufacturing is vital to the UK economy and our daily lives. But it also has a colossal impact on our environment.
“The pressure and scrutiny on the sector to be more sustainable is ramping up, and coming from all directions. It is our biggest challenge, but it is also a significant opportunity.
“Decarbonisation is not a distraction. It is an imperative. Talk needs to stop and make way for action and a concerted commitment to change. UK manufacturing must get behind the mantra that the future is decarbonised and digital.
“Made Smarter is committed to help small and medium sized makers get there with vision, technology, leadership and collaboration. Our hope is that our ‘Decarbonisation through Digitalisation’ whitepaper will become a valuable part of any manufacturer’s toolkit to support their net zero journey.”
Over the last four years, Made Smarter has provided impartial, tailored and expert advice to thousands of manufacturers of every size and shape, and from every sector.
Digital transformation workshops offer practical steps towards digitisation and a clear digital roadmap to follow. There is also funding to help SMEs invest in technology and a variety of support to enable businesses to adapt to the green skills and digital leadership a net zero future demands.
Donna Edwards added: “In recent years we’ve seen technology play an incredibly important part in tackling disruptive and emerging challenges. It has helped businesses navigate the Covid-19 pandemic and recover, negotiate supply chain disruption and labour shortages, as well as focus on solutions to mitigate the energy crisis.
“For the climate emergency, digitalisation offers manufacturers a huge opportunity to deliver operational efficiencies, decarbonise heat and power, optimise design and materials, and improve logistics and transport, benefitting their business, their bottom line and the environment. Then there is the reputational gain which helps secure customer loyalty, as well as attract new talent and investment.
“While decarbonisation might feel overwhelming, and it is by no means a simple task, it is vital manufacturers recognise they are not alone. Combating climate change demands collaboration, and that is exactly what Made Smarter is here for.”

Tetra Pak takes carton packages with recycled content to the next level
Tetra Pak has made new advancements in the area of recycled content, expanding its offering of packaging solutions using certified recycled polymers to cover new formats, product categories and geographies.
The expansion is a key milestone in the company’s journey towards a circular portfolio, turning waste into new resources, and reducing the industry’s dependence on virgin, fossil-based materials. It comes at a pivotal moment, aligning with the recently released European Commission’s proposal for the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.
As the industry looks for ways to support the EU Green Deal’s goals on climate, circularity and resilient food systems, beverage cartons with certified recycled polymers are now on supermarket shelves around Europe:
- Emmi, Switzerland’s market leader in dairy, recently introduced the world’s first carton using certified recycled polymers in the packaging material. Its good day Milk Drink, packaged in Tetra Top® 1000 Base carton packages, has been on shelf since late 2022 and reflects Emmi’s ambitious aims towards circularity, including the usage of at least 30% recycled materials in all its packaging by 2027.
- In February 2023, Lactalis Group, a world leading dairy player, revamped its organic ambient liquid cream in Tetra Brik® Aseptic cartons under its Bridélice and Président brands with certified recycled polymers in the packaging material – a first in France. The development supports Lactalis Group’s efforts to foster innovative solutions towards a more circular packaging economy.
Food giants team up to provide climate-neutral transport between Denmark and the UK
Arla, Danish Crown, DFDS and DSV have teamed up in a new partnership to develop a climate-neutral transport corridor between Denmark and the UK. The ambition for the partnership is to transport Arla’s and Danish Crown’s products from farms in Denmark to consumers in the UK with zero impact on the environment.
Every year, Arla and Danish Crown export vast quantities of foods through the port at Esbjerg in Denmark to Immingham on the east coast of England and on to the UK market, and transports have a significant carbon footprint. The two food giants have now teamed up with DFDS and DSV to develop a new transport corridor to achieve climate-neutral food transports from Denmark to the UK (net zero) by 2030.
“The entire agricultural sector is currently undergoing a historic transition, and both Arla and Danish Crown have committed to becoming climate-neutral by 2050. We can only achieve that by joining forces, and DFDS and DVS are of a similar mind. Together, we want to explore and develop the opportunities already available to us today, rather than wait for new technologies,” explains Bo Svane, head of logistics at Arla.
The scope of the transport corridor will gradually be expanded as the use of electric trucks, electric refrigerated trailers and the development of greener fuels are tested, phased in and scaled up, so that new technologies may be employed in transporting Arla’s and Danish Crown’s products by 2030.
“The partnership for the corridor fits hand in glove with our ambition to lead the way in the green transition of the food industry. We’ll be opening a new factory in the UK this autumn, and with the corridor in place by 2030, we’ll be able to offer our British customers food products that have been transported all the way from farms in Denmark to supermarkets in the UK without impacting the environment,” says Lars Feldskou, group CPO of Danish Crown.
Having worked on developing the transport corridor during the past year, the four companies are now ready to launch a number of pilot projects. Specifically, Danish Crown plans to test the use of electric trucks to collect pigs, while DFDS and DSV will conduct a pilot test on the use of electric trucks and electric refrigerated trailers for transporting dairy and meat products to Esbjerg and for distribution in the UK. DFDS and DVS have been operating this freight route for many years, and they share the ambition to improve it and to reduce and gradually remove its climate impact.
“We’re excited to be one of four large companies teaming up for this project, in which we’ll not only promote but actually begin delivering on the green transition. We need to collaborate across the value chain to solve the climate crisis,” says Anders Michael Christensen, vice president, DFDS Logistics.
The first charging points for electric trucks have already been installed at a few locations in Denmark, but many more are needed and with sufficient charging capacity to handle heavy-duty traffic, including at the harbour in Esbjerg and at Danish Crown and Arla locations in Denmark.
“A climate-neutral transport corridor needs not only commercial commitment but also the political will to expand the infrastructure. There’s no snap solution to solving the climate crisis, and that’s precisely why teaming up across sectors like we’re doing now is so important,” says Morten Kjærgaard, vice president, DSV Road.
The companies behind the ambition for a climate-neutral food transport corridor will begin gathering data already next year to measure the partnership’s effects on the climate.

Drinks industry maverick John Paul Dejoria has joined the Bandero Tequila team just as the brand’s hotly anticipated new coffee tequila has officially launched.
Creator of wildly successful brand Café Patron, John Paul is no stranger to taking the global drinks market by storm, and now brings considerable expertise to an authentic and sophisticated blend of coffee tequila from the Guachimotones region of Mexico – Bandero Café.

Bandero is also a family affair as JP is joined by his daughters Alexis and Michaeline in this new venture. Johnathan Kendrick, Co-founder and designer of Bandero Tequila said:
“We are delighted that John Paul DeJoria, the co-founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems, Patron Tequila and John Paul Pet, is joining his daughters Alexis and Michaeline DeJoria in Bandero Tequila.”
Commenting on the quality of the Bandero brand John Paul DeJoria said “Bandero Tequila has everything needed to become one of the finest tequilas in the industry. I believe every home should have a bottle of Bandero!”
Influencers and venues who have sampled the Bandero Café have noted the provenance and substance behind the drink, which comes in small batches of bottles made with 100% recycled glass and featuring a casing that pays homage to the sandals of Jalisco tribes native to the foothills of the Guachimotones. Industry and consumers are invited to ‘Taste the Legacy.’
