UV technology manufacturer Dinies, which has 35 years of experience in the field, will exhibit on stand B014 at AUSPACK 2019 to show off the benefits of ultraviolet sterilisation for food safety.

The UV tunnels Dinies supplies have seen use in industries such as dairy and in particular infant formula: products can be sterilised before entering critical hygiene areas, as well as utensils, cans, and lids. Dinies claims they can also extend the shelf life of fruit and vegetables.

According to Dinies, its UV sanitising tunnel is designed for a 360 degree UV disinfection: the products are transported on a stainless steel grid belt, so the UV lamps below the belt can sanitise the goods from the bottom side.

While other methods of disinfection can adversely impact product quality by destroying vital ingredients, Dinies says its ultraviolet systems maintain product integrity.

CCEP has completed a $39.7m manufacturing upgrade at its Kewdale facility in WA, installing a high-speed can production line that increases capacity by more than 40% and lifts production speeds to 1500 cans per minute.

Nearly 6 in 10 Aussies in food and beverage manufacturing believe their organisation is becoming less productive, despite continued investment in workplace technology, according to Argon & Co.

Every food, drink, personal care and household product made in Australia starts with an investment decision. A company chooses to replace a production line, automate a process or expand a plant. That choice is now made in a global market for capital, and Australia is struggling to compete. The question is simple. Will the next generation of manufacturing investment come here?
