Haver & Boecker Australia is launching Roto-Lock, its new dosing technology for the filling of valve bags in its new machines, which it says eliminates dust and waste.

Martin Mersmann, ANZ sales manager at the company, said Roto-Lock has maintenance-free dosing, clean filling process and longer lasting components, which means higher productivity. He said, “There is no leakage at all, which means no waste and no dust, which all leads to greater profits, due to reduced product loss and reduced downtime."

The new Roto-Lock has no requirement for adjustments or readjustments to the dosing unit once installed, it creates a completely closed filling channel.

It now comes in all new Roto-Packer, Integra and Elementra packing solutions. It can also be retrofitted to existing machines.

Food & Drink Business

Western Australian producer, Brownes Dairy, has been put up for sale according to the Australian Financial Review (AFR), as one of its biggest lenders, China Mengniu Dairy, calls in its $200 million loan. A reduced demand for milk in China and the current positioning of the global market could be driving the decision.

The Central Coast is about to receive a boost to its local food and beverage manufacturing industry, with construction starting on the $17.14 million Food Manufacturing Innovation Hub, funded by the federal government’s National Reconstruction Fund (NFR).

The Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) says Australia is at a “critical crossroads” when it comes to R&D and decades of rhetoric have not delivered material change.
