Microwave-Assisted Aseptic Process Takes Top Edison Prize
2015-04-24 21:58:00| Food Processing
Two suppliers of food processing equipmentone in a nascent stage, the other already impacting North American productionare recipients of Edison Awards, which recognize excellence in new-product innovation. The award was created in 1987 by the American Marketing Association and is now overseen by the Edison Universe organization. Top honors in the applied technology-food processing & preparation category went to Aseptia Technology, a Raleigh, N.C., firm with roots in North Carolina State Universitys Department of Food, Bioprocessing & Nutrition Sciences. Aseptia owns and operates Wright Foods, a contract manufacturer applying the aseptic technology to commercially available shelf-stable foods. Aseptia also is working with the Department of Defenses Combat Feeding Directorate. For the past 20 years, the military has worked with food companies and their equipment suppliers to develop alternatives to retort in the preparation of Meals Ready-to-Eat (MREs). Hiperbaric S.A. received the categorys bronze award for its high pressure processing (HPP) system. The Edison judges cited HPP pasteurizations ability to naturally extend the shelf life of food with cold pressure as an alternative way to kill bacteria while maintaining the vitamins, nutrients and organoleptic quality of the product. Two years ago, Hiperbaric estimated there were 222 HPP machines in service worldwide, with 56 percent operating in North America. Hiperbaric and Avure Technologies are the fabricators of all of those presses. The number of new installations is accelerating, with juice, coconut water and other beverages accounting for a growing proportion of HPP treatment. Machine sizes are increasing while capital costs are declining, but HPP presses still represent a multi-million-dollar investment, and todays growth is coming from tolling servicess. The silver award went to Nomiku, which produces an immersion circulator for in-home sous vide cooking. While that machine is a kitchen appliance, highly automated industrial systems using hot-water immersion cooking are being commissioned, with a large co-manufacturing system operated by Sugarcreek Packing Co. set to begin operating near Indianapolis in July. Edison Awards were presented in 15 categories at a ceremony April 23 that drew 350 guests to the Capitale in New York. Candidates are self-nominating, and a steering committee reviews entries and selects the finalists. Final selection is based on the votes of 3,000 business and marketing executives and academics who receive ballots.
GALLERY: Top 4 reasons humidity and carbon-dioxide measurement is important
2015-04-24 20:05:40| American School & University
In building-automation applications, reliable humidity measurement is critical to consistent human comfort and productivity and low maintenance. Demand-controlled-ventilation systems can be improved using carbon-dioxide (CO2) instruments to optimize energy efficiency. The right humidity and CO2 instruments can help address and prevent issues related to unreliable control systems, improving human comfort and lowering maintenance costs.

Railroads top trucking's lobbying efforts
2015-04-24 19:53:31| Trucking - Topix.net
In the last two years, the trucking industry has spent over $3.4 million on lobbying, according to data from a analysis of federal lobbying disclosures. At quick glance, that looks small compared to the $7.4 million that the railroad industry has spent on lobbyists to promote its special interests during the same time period October 2012 through September 2014.
