Superior Pump Technologies (SPT) is bringing the Waukesha Cherry-Burrell (SPXFLOW) colloid mill to stand E234 at AUSPACK 2019.

The WCB colloid mill is capable of processing a wide range of product viscosities, according to SPT, with higher-viscosity fluids processed at lower flow rates to stay within pressure limits.

SPT claims that Waukesha colloid mills can provide up to 50 per cent more flow rate with less heat than competing products, and are easy to adjust and disassemble; they can also be adjusted during operation.

The mill’s sanitary design makes it suitable for a number of food and pharmaceutical products, says SPT. Applications include salad dressing; mayonnaise; homogenisation of liquid eggs; tomato-based sauces; and personal care products such as lotions and creams. Flow rates range from 1250 to 6250 litres per hour.

Trial and demonstration units will be available soon, and SPT keeps pumps and spare parts in stock for customer support; the company also designs and builds skids to suit customer requirements.

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?
