K-Tron’s material handling and continuous feeding system features ActiFlow, a material flow aid that prevents bridging and rat-holing of cohesive materials in loss-in-weight feeder hoppers. The K2-ML-D5-T35 Quick Change feeder runs in combination with a Model 2410 stainless steel receiver for sanitary pneumatic conveying applications. This fully automated system handles enhanced material-centered applications. The Model T35/S60 quick-change feeder works with applications requiring rapid changeover of materials and fast cleaning. The feeder allows the removal of the entire feed hopper with screws in place and replacement with a second unit. The single-screw feeding elements handle free-flowing powders, granules and other non-flooding materials while the twin screw elements control floodable powders and more difficult, sticky or hard-to-flow materials. The Model 2410 vacuum-sequencing, central powder receiver conveys fine bulk materials, and is available in 2 versions for either general keep-full conveying or loss-in-weight feeder refill applications.

The Food Defense Strategy Exchange (FDSE) is a forum for food defense professionals to interact and share their knowledge and experiences. At the most recent FDSE, a poll of attendees revealed that approximately two-thirds were either re-evaluating their existing food defense plan, or implementing new food defense plans. In this podcast, Don Hsieh, Director of Commercial and Industrial Marketing at Tyco Integrated Security, discusses this topic and other findings from the exchange, and offers some best practices to proactively protect a company’s brand from food adulteration.
