CASING LINKER
Reiser's Vemag LPG208 high-speed length portioning machine increases sausage production without adding labor. The natural casing linker features 2 rotating linking horns that reduce casing change times. As the casing on the first horn is stuffed and linked, the operator simultaneously loads another casing onto the second horn.

FLOW METER SYSTEM
Featuring a bearingless design with only 2 moving parts, Flow Technology's DC-F/ IM ingredient measurement positive displacement flow meter system measures high-viscosity fluids in food applications where batch repeatability is desired, and high-pressure and pulsating flow streams are involved. It measures flow rates as low as 0.001gpm. The DC-F sanitary PD flow meter employs 316 stainless steel construction, advanced thermoplastic impellers and a non-intrusive pickoff sensor. The meter offers repeatability of +/-0.05% of rate and up to 1,000:1 turndown; it can measure viscosities up to 1,000,000 cP+. CIP-compatible, the meter can also be opened inline for inspection and physical maintenance. It is available for 1/8- to 2-in. line sizes.
