Various food industry procedures including cutting and slicing of raw materials and filling beverages, which need to be done systematically, without any contamination. To fulfill these demands, actuators are used at a high speed and with maximum efficiency. An actuator is a device that produces a motion by converting energy and signals going into the system. The motion it produces can be either rotary or implies, linear. Linear actuators, as produce linear actuators can move forward or backward on a set linear plane – a set distance they can travel in either direction before they must stop. linear motion. This means that the name Transducers A transducer can be anything that converts one form of energy to another. transducers that are used in food industries are piezoelectric, but some are magnetostrictive also. Piezoelectric transducers convert cyclic electrical current into physical vibrations, and magnetostrictive devices convert varying magnetic fields into physical vibrations. Piezoelectric Transducer transducer changes (also known as a A piezoelectric is a device that uses the piezoelectric sensor) piezoelectric in to measure effect acceleration, pressure, strain, temperature, or force by converting this energy into an electrical charge. The word piezoelectric is derived from the Greek word piezen, which means to squeeze or press. The piezoelectric effect states that when mechanical stress or forces are applied to a quartz crystal, produces electrical charges on the quartz crystal surface. The rate of charge produced will be proportional to the rate of change of mechanical stress applied to it. Higher will be stress, higher will be voltage. Magnetostrictive Transducer A magnetostrictive transducer makes use of a type of magnetic material in which an applied oscillating magnetic field squeezes the atoms of the material together, creating a periodic change in the length of the material and thus producing a high-frequency mechanical vibration. Magnetostrictive transducers are used primarily in the lower frequency ranges and are common in ultrasonic cleaners and ultrasonic machining application PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.

ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION FOOD INDUSTRY INDUSTRY BUZZ "Self-reliant plate: The government aims to ensure self-sufficiency at the dining table." FrieslandCampina is initiating a trial to speed up the adoption of regenerative agriculture. The food platter, known as thali, is being used as an indicator of food price increases in India, where analysts are closely monitoring thali prices to track inflation. Rising food prices have presented challenges for the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), largely due to the perishable nature of vegetables and their vulnerability to weather fluctuations exacerbated by climate change. Among the items on the thali contributing to high prices are pulses, particularly tur (arhar) dal, which India heavily relies on imports for. In June, government data revealed that pulse prices surged by 21.64% year-on-year, more than double the 9.21% increase observed the previous year. In the financial year 2023-24, India imported all major pulses, such as tur, urad, masoor, chana, and yellow peas, amounting to $3.74 billion due to inadequate domestic production caused by unpredictable rainfall. Currently, the government is striving for self-sufficiency in pulses and has selected 35 new districts to expand tur cultivation and 13 districts for urad cultivation, with the aim of increasing the area under kharif (summer) pulse production. is also growing FrieslandCampina is dedicated to promoting sustainable dairy farming by prioritizing animal health and welfare, as well as climate, soil, water, and nature conservation. The company believes that regenerative agriculture offers a resilient business model for member dairy farmers. There interest and willingness from customers to support regenerative agriculture. Guus van Laarhoven, sustainability manager at FrieslandCampina, stated, "This is why we are fully committed to expediting the progress of regenerative agriculture through the Regenerative Agriculture Pilot." Regenerative agriculture in dairy farming strives to achieve a integrating harmonious relationship between cow and soil, traditional knowledge with modern methods and technologies. These farming practices aim to foster healthy soil, clean water, and diverse natural ecosystems, ultimately promoting a balanced approach between Earth's carrying capacity and food production. cohort of 20 The pilot program assembles a diverse FrieslandCampina member dairy farmers from the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany to participate in a collaborative study.

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi launched subsidized tomatoes at Rs 60 per kg. The 15th edition of Foodpro 2024 will take place at Chennai Trade Centre, Chennai, from August 9 to 11, 2024, under the theme of 'Accelerating Growth Scale for Food Industries'. It provides a great opportunity for stakeholders in the food processing sector to display the latest trends and technologies and discuss the challenges and opportunities for the sector's development. Alongside Foodpro 2024, several other events will be held, including the 4th edition of ‘ColdStoRe India’, the 4th edition of ‘T- Food’, the 2nd edition of ‘Food Packaging Expo’, and ‘Food Expo’ featuring a wide variety of ready-to-eat food products from around the world. Kazhal Vendhan M, manager – trade fairs (SR) at the Confederation of Indian Industry, mentioned that the exhibition is expected to host more than 300 exhibitors and 20,000 business and trade visitors, with both domestic and international pavilions. Additionally, there will be sectoral live demonstrations, conferences, B2B/B2G/B2C meetings, product launches, and a special focus pavilion for banana and millets. The sale of tomatoes at a subsidized rate of Rs 60 per kg was initiated by Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution & New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi recently. NCCF vans will supply the tomatoes at the reduced rate in Delhi, Noida, and Gurgaon. This move was taken to address the increasing prices of tomatoes in the retail market. During the launch ceremony, Joshi mentioned that the Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of India has taken this step to control the rising tomato prices, particularly in major cities like Delhi. He also highlighted the establishment of the Price Stabilisation Fund (PSF) by the current government to stabilize food prices and protect consumers' interests. Joshi stated that when the prices of essential commodities increase, the PSF is utilized to procure these commodities directly from farmers, thus reducing intermediary costs and ensuring availability to consumers. It's worth noting that in this instance, the PSF was not used as the tomatoes were directly procured from mandis. How can plant-based colours enhance attractiveness The demand for packaged food and beverages is increasing in India, but most of them contain artificial colours. This article discusses how colours derived from fruits, vegetables, and plants can enhance consumer acceptance. Vibrant colours are an essential aspect of Indian cuisine, with home cooks and chefs using the naturally rich hues of fruits, vegetables, spices, and herbs to create a compelling visual appeal. However, food colouring ingredients have not been as widely embraced in India as in other regions. This is because consumers in the country have traditionally preferred freshly prepared food and beverages over packaged items. This scenario is beginning to change. Although Indian consumers still prioritize natural and healthy options, the rise in modern, busy lifestyles—especially in major cities and urban areas—is leading to a greater demand for more convenient packaged food and beverage products. Regrettably, a significant portion of the current offerings in the market contain artificial colours. T HE UNION MINISTER FOR FARMERS' WELFARE AND AGRICULTURE ASSESSES KHARIF SEASON READINESS.
