Strengthens HACCP processes in food and pharmaceutical industries. FT331 FOREIGN MATTER DETECTION New Zealand’s industrial gas sensing equipment manufacturer Photonic Innovations has partnered with Active Refrigeration to form a first New Zealand-wide distribution agreement…and the company is looking firmly at replicating that in overseas markets. The new deal reflects the companies’ commitments to improve workplace safety in food processing entities in New Zealand. Phonotic Innovations chief executive Dr Ojas Mahapatra says it is the perfect time for the companies to work together before the company eyes Australia and beyond. Photonic Innovations has designed a laser-based gas sensor that solves traditional problems of unreliability, high maintenance costs and false alarms associated with outdated technology. “This New Zealand born-and-bred technology is leading the world,” he says. “There’s no reason why we shouldn't be in the front-of-mind when any food processing/storage operator thinks of ammonia detection.” Mahapatra says ammonia’s popularity as a refrigerant has increased dramatically due to its green credentials. “At the same time, health and safety regulations have also tightened to ensure that companies manage the significant risks that come with ammonia usage. The end result is a strong demand for high quality, reliable and affordable ammonia sensors. There have been quite a few near-death ammonia leaks at food processors in New Zealand recently. Our first and foremost purpose is to ensure that people working in hazardous gas-filled confined spaces safely return to their families at the end of their shift. Our laser-based sensors ensure reliability in ammonia leak detection and always keep an eye on untoward incidents.” Active Refrigeration managing director Craig Duff says his company has a history of promoting and installing natural refrigeration solutions focusing on energy efficiency and sustainability. “We have a strong focus on leading-edge innovation and workplace safety with a nationwide support network,” he says. ”Partnering with like-minded companies such as Photonic Innovations with a paralleled ethos is simply a good fit to support our industry.”
