Among the exhibitors looking forward to the three packed days isTania Carey from Food Processing Equipment (FPE). “We'll have the latest X-Ray technology from SmithsDetection. We've represented Smiths since February 2007. We came into contact with them through our ownefforts to develop a machine for reading the chemical lean (CL) inboxed meat. Smiths Detections overall capabilities certainly don'tjust start and stop with CL analysis. For instance, the SmithsDetection Eagle Carton FA can simultaneously analyse CL, weight andForeign Objects in-line, which offers a meat processor a wholespectrum of benefits.” Tania says the Smiths Detection Technology can be used throughoutthe food industry in so many applications where contaminantdetection is necessary. “We saw the diversity of the Smiths Detection range asadvantageous to our business as more and more we are steppingoutside of what traditionally was our core business (the meatprocessing industry).” Another exhibitor with well-advanced plans for Foodtech Packtech isNewsmith Pacific Systems, says sales manager Graeme Topp. “We're a subsidiary of Newsmith Stainless in the UK whomanufacture industrial washing machines and conveyor systems withsales throughout Europe and the USA and Australasia.
