Campden BRI is to take a leading role in the newly revamped Foodex exhibition that takes place at the NEC in Birmingham on March 21-24.

Daphne Llewellyn-Davies, business development manager, said: "On March 22, we will have our own event - the Campden BRI Innovation Day. This will bring nine topical presentations from our annual Campden Day, held each June, to visitors so that they can discover just some of the research that has been undertaken and meet the experts involved.

“The topics to be covered will include allergens, antioxidants, high pressure and other novel processing systems, and microbiological shelf life prediction.”

After each presentation there will be an opportunity for questions and Campden BRI will host a stand at the Food and Drink Expo at which it offers up more in-depth discussion.

Meanwhile, Heat sealing specialists Proseal will be launching two new machines at Foodex, demonstrating the company’s ability to offer a tray sealing solution to meet every type of food operation - from small scale production to the requirements of the fastest packing lines.

The T2 is a hand operated tray sealing machine with a manual feed system, which is capable of up to six cycles per minute. It is ideal for trials or development work, small scale production or in food shops and delicatessens.

The new GT3 is Proseal’s flagship top-of-the-range tray sealer. It is capable of sealing in excess of 150 trays per minute and is ideal for fast production lines, such as meat products and fresh fruit.
