Ecolab received a 2015 Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Food Expo Innovation Award for the development of DrySan Duo, an innovative EPA-registered technology providing the first no-rinse cleaner and sanitizer for dry- or low-moisture processing environments.

Air treatment solutions company Munters AB announced this week it signed an agreement to HB Group, an international company that specializes in customized hygienic climate control systems for the food and dairy industries.

 Held June 11-12 in Evanston, IL, the conference was sponsored by GE and Industrial Network Systems. 

Ecolab, Inc.—global water, energy and hygiene technology provider—has acquired controlling interest in Jianghai Environmental Protection Co. Ltd., an industrial water treatment company headquartered in Changzhou, China.

 Capable of delivering up to 43,200 pieces per hour, the new line surpasses an industry average of 36,000 for this segment. 

Power and automation technology corporation ABB says it will start producing robots in the US, a move the company says makes it the first global industrial robotics company to fully commit and invest in a North American robotics manufacturing footprint.

 The awards recognize facilities that improve sustainability efforts in food, beverage or consumer product manufacturing operations. 

 The new module allows a single unit to collect up to 2,500 data points from five local and five remote controllers.
