The Foodpro 2017 show has sold all of its exhibition space more than three months before the four-day event’s opening.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the food manufacturing and packaging event, which celebrates innovation in the industry.

Among the exhibitors heading to foodpro is Unitherm Systems which will be presenting its recently patented process technology at foodpro: a process for producing precooked bacon slices in a spiral oven.

Munters will be launching its new ML/MX range – a flexible system that allows food-manufacturers to solve humidity and temperature control requirements with the new range of dehumidifiers.

MX2P

Gelita will be launching its newest collagen peptide study on BODYBALANCE at foodpro. This unique collagen protein is said to aid as a food supplement to increase lean body mass and muscle strength – all while decreasing fat mass.

Other new technologies and products will be on show from other exhibitors, which include Vemag, Multivac, Select Equipment, Inspection Systems, Devro, Sealed Air, Globus Group, Columbit, Visy Technology System, Heat and Control, and Matthews Australasia.

The ACCC has instituted court proceedings against Clorox Australia, owner of GLAD-branded kitchen and garbage bags, over alleged false claims that bags were partly made of recycled 'ocean plastic'.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
