• A blast chiller / freezer - it can blast chill, blast freeze or individually quick freeze products on a fluidised bed
• A dealcoholisation unit - can be used for detailed assessment of new product quality and process economics
• VolScan 600 - uses lasers to measure the volume and shape of food products, providing dimensional analysis, weight and specific volume of products
• Mainca Bowl Cutter CM-21 - used to cut up fresh and frozen meat, fish, vegetables, fruit and other food to produce a variety of textures as required
• CO2 and dissolved oxygen meter - a quality control tool to measure carbonation levels in-pack (e.g. bottles)
• Farinograph - Farinograph testing assesses the baking quality of flour samples. The computerised data processing enables electronic data storage and offers potential for improved test quality and predictive capability
• Tray sealer - expands our packaging development and testing capability for clients looking at either, or both, the packaging and the product
