Introducing a touch oftemperature-monitoring technology at critical junctures, however, can improve food quality –and help independently owned establishments be compliant with the latest food safetyregulations.The UK-based Comark Instruments has recently introduced the new HACCP Touch, an easyand cost-effective system for caterers, hoteliers and restauranteurs to collect, record and storedaily temperatures of critical items as they are received, stored, prepped, cooked and held – orat any other point along the way. The tamper-proof HACCP Touch even captures corrective actions that are taken when food temperatures are found to be outside of approved safezones. Reports are available from an accompanying software solution that is both user-friendly and customisable.Users interface with the device through an easy-to-navigate touch screen. It measures temperatures that range as low as -73°C and up to 537°C with anaccuracy of 0.5°C. It is also water resistant and highly durable to withstand commercial-grade environments.Tel: +44(0) 844 815 6599 Web: www.comarkinstruments.com Email: sales@comarkinstruments.com Biochip Array Technology from Randox FoodRandox Food Diagnostics offer industry trusted tools for the screening of antimicrobials,growth promoting hormones and drugs of abuse in animals and produce, as well as mycotoxindetection.

It is now busyarranging meetings demonstrations withall of the people that took time to comeon the stand and speak to the sales guysand understand the myriad of benefitsthat Fiber Film can deliver. For any who were unable to attend theevent, or those who didn’t get to see thePackaging Innovations stand, theCompany were undertaking livedemonstrations to showcase the manybenefits of using Fiber Film reinforcedstretch film against the most popularstandard UK stretch film specifications.The most popular comparison showed23mu 250% stretch film vs Fiber Film. Itmanaged to prove over and over againthat to wrap the same pallet,Fiber Film was 36.6% cheaperand held the pallet 18% tighterwhen compared to standardtraditional stretch film. Whether applied by hand ormachines, Fiber Film delivers avariety of benefits which are ofthe upmost concern toresponsible buyers. Theseinclude: significantly reduce theamount of film you use to wrapeach pallet; significantly reducethe cost to wrap each pallet; increase theload stability, and a reduction in downtime due to breakages.There are no other films that canachieve the same weight and costreduction whilst at the same time actuallyimproving the stability of the load. Another increasingly important KPI forthe modern business is the weight ofpackaging they consume for eachoperation. On average, PackagingInnovations will remove 55% of yourLDPE consumption from your stretchwrapping operation when you change toFiber Film. So you will be 55% greenerand as a little bonus pay 55% lesspackaging waste tax each year.

With capacities up to 1,000 kg/h,the system allows plant operators torecover the CO2 from the biogasstream, minimizing the plant’s overallCO2 footprint. The recovered CO2 canbe used in a variety of applicationsincluding as gaseous fertilizer ingreenhouses, or be sold to a third party. Pentair Haffmans has also partnered with amajor industrial gas company and can assist plant operators in getting into contact. During the CO2 recovery process, all impurities – including the environmentally-harmful methane slip – are removed from the CO2 and sent back to the biogasupgrading system. This results in a significantly higher methane yield. The portion ofgreenhouse gases released to the atmosphere is reduced to almost zero, which makesthis technology a future-proof investment.Tel: +31 77 323 2300 Web: www.haffmans.nl Email: info@haffmans.nl Stand: E501www.fdiforum.netvisit:44-45_Layout 1 27/05/2016 12:41 Page 221 JuneN8 AgricultureLaunchUniversity Place, ManchesterThis event offers the opportunity toexplore new projects and solutionspertaining to the major food security,agritech and consumer health issuesacross the supply chain.
