Valve supplier SPX Flow has released a series of step-by-step video guides to help customers maintain its products.

The APV Delta RUF check valve maintenance videos walk the viewer through every stage of valve disassembly, seal removal and replacement, and reassembly.

The APV Delta RUF check valve is used where the prevention of backflow of product is critical to the production process.

The non-return valve offers high operational assurance in a compact design and is widely used across the brewery, dairy, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Designed for easy maintenance, the valve has robust bearings and profile seals that eliminate any gaps through which product could leak.

The videos explain the tools and processes needed to ensure correct maintenance without damaging the valve.

These procedures are vital to ensuring continued operational safety and longevity of the valve, according to the company.

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
