Application Notes & Case Studies

41. Durable Solutions For Large Volume Vinegar Clarification And Stabilization 7/29/2021

    High in acid content, vinegar (especially white vinegar) is self-preserving with an almost indefinite shelf life. However, with consumer expectation for a clear product, vinegar is clarified after acetic fermentation to remove suspended solids including Acetobacter and other microorganisms. In this chemically aggressive application, these modules suffer from operational limits that may dramatically reduce service life, therefore increasing operating cost. A solution with exceptional mechanical strength, thermal and chemical stability provided a reliable and durable solution that could withstand long-term exposure to acetic acid.

42. Increasing the Value of Olive Oil With Filtration Technology 7/29/2021

    Every year, an olive oil producer dealt with a significant volume of high wax oils in their production; such oils commanded only a low market price. By implementing a specific type of filtration after settling and decantation, the customer realized excellent filtrate quality, which provided a three to four-fold increase in its commercial value.

43. Spice Is A Variety Of Life 7/29/2021

    The goal of Fuchs Group in Lower Saxony, Germany, with its precious spices and spice mixtures, is to help turn a meal into a genuine culinary event. The company cannot afford any bottlenecks or disruptions in the compressed air supply. When it was time to replace the obsolete compressors from another manufacturer due to increasingly frequent breakdowns and problems, the obvious choice was the Coburg-based system provider KAESER.

44. A Winery Down Under 7/29/2021

    Award winning winemaker Teusner Wines recently invested in two Kaeser SK 25 rotary screw compressors, which are responsible for delivering a reliable and energy efficient supply of compressed air to the pneumatic - grape crushing - presses at their new purpose built winery in the Barossa Valley, South Australia.

    This prominent Napa County vineyard and winery received a prestigious green certification after committing to sustainable and environmentally-friendly technologies, including the installation of a dynamic MBR wastewater treatment system.

46. Using X-ray Inspection To Detect Faulty Popsicle Sticks 7/1/2021

    Broken popsicle sticks generate bad impressions, or can even cause serious injury among consumers. Thus the detection of broken, flaked, bent or cracked stick is a vital challenge of ice manufacturers. This article covers a brilliant story of our X-ray inspection system development team worked together with a Japanese customer who is well-known in the market, on how they could significantly enhance the detection capability of the faulty sticks inside of cartons.

47. Checkweighing Solution For Unstable Products 7/1/2021

    A food processor was having difficulty accurately checkweighing packages of nuts in PET jars in varying sizes. The design of the bottom of the jar was causing the jar to wobble when large speed changes are made at transfer points impact checkweighing accuracy. By installing a checkweigher that could control allow individual speed settings for each conveyor and stored settings for each product they could control the unstable product and allow for weighing accuracy.

48. Timing Adjustment Feature For Accurate Checkweighing 7/1/2021

    Checkweighers need to handle all the dynamic challenges that exist on a typical production line: variable speed products being run with different lengths and weights need to be accurate for each product even if there are outside influences such as heavy machinery moving nearby or fork trucks that can ca use vibration to the checkweigher. Read how SSV series checkweighers use advance signal processing and filtering to provide superior weighing accuracy.

49. The Importance Of Conveyor Mode In Combinaton Food Product Inspection Systems 6/23/2021

    Anritsu’s SSV series checkweighers and combinations systems have been designed to be very flexible with many capabilities built into the standard design. With that flexibility in mind, most settings are controlled by product to handle each product s unique requirement.
