NEWS LOWERING COSTS AND EMISSIONS


combines the latest technology in boiler design with high efficiency, resulting in low operating costs and reduced emissions that not only meet the latest European environmental legislation, but can exceed it when fitted with Babcock Wanson combustion equipment. Babcock Wanson manufacture the boiler, burner, combustion control systemand boiler controls providing a single point of responsibility and perfectly matched design. Available for steam outputs from 10,000 kg/h to 34,000 kg/h,

PowerPack’s high performance is attributable to the precise match between the combustion head and burner for meticulous control of excess air throughout the modulating range and minimum start/stop cycles. It has also been designed for low electrical consumption, thanks to the very low gas side pressure drop which reduces the electrical consumption of fans, further enhanced by the variable speed combustion air and feedwater drives. Efficiency can be enhanced by up to 103% (on LHV) when a PowerPack boiler is specified in conjunction with a Babcock Wanson economiser and heat recovery system. A further environmental benefit of the PowerPack range is their long


life, thanks to robust construction. Featuring a three-pass design with a flue gas tubular reversing chamber, unique to Babcock Wanson, these new boilers are both highly efficient and very reliable. PowerPack boilers do not require furnace tube tie rods which require regular replacement, and minimises boiler refractory requirements. This design allows high variations of steam demand whilst minimising mechanical stress on the pressure body for a long, reliable operational life. When maintenance is required, PowerPack boilers provide easy


tubeplate and furnace tube access via large, easy use doors on the boiler front and lateral openings. A rear inspection port also provides enhanced access. A two-level platform provides safe access to boiler mountings and ease of maintenance and operation. www.babcock-wanson.com/products/fire-tube-steam- boilers/powerpack/


VYPER VISION ENSURES COMPLETE COMPLIANCE


At PPMA 2025, inspection equipment specialist Fortress Technology debuted a fully automated top and bottom label inspection solution, ensuring complete compliance with retailer food safety and labelling requirements. In 2024, labelling errors accounted for almost a quarter of all UK food


recalls. Addressing this, Vyper Vision from Fortress Technology gives food processors a high-speed, easy-to-integrate vision inspection system. Inspecting label application and placement, use by dates, allergens, ingredients, batch numbers and barcodes, it examines every label on every pack at 200ppm. Adding to its expertise in metal detection, X-ray, checkweighing,


combination systems and digital reporting, Fortress Technology showed how Vyper Vision is optimising quality control on a single end of line inspection machine. By preventing label-related defects reaching the point of sale due to wrong data input, poor quality printing or illegible allergen details and barcodes, Vyper Vision can safeguard consumers and prevent the issuing of costly food safety alerts and recalls. Vyper Vision was demonstrated


on a Raptor Combination metal detector and checkweigher within the same footprint. Providing top and bottom inspection, the system uses advanced optical character recognition (OCR) to detect and reject faulty labels, printing errors and poor quality print in real time. fortresstechnology.com
