Talk to us today WE CREATE WHAT YOU NEED TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS Talk to us about our real-time pathogen testing with new GENE-UP® PCR technology. www.foodtechnology.co.nz 41 Fast detection of Salmonella, Listeria spp. and Listeria monocytogenes - in just one day Dual detection using FRET technology and Melt analysis Less false positive screen results Most PCR tests use only fluorescence to conclude a positive result, however the GENE-UP® method incorporates a dual detection strategy i.e. Fluorescent markers combined with highly specific melting point analysis. Melting point analysis is a reference temperature specific to the target organism DNA, and this innovative dual detection approach means less false positive results. Choose the test that you can trust. GENE-UP® is IANZ accredited and approved under MPI Recognised Laboratory Programme for export testing.

Our leading-edge service, design, selection, procurement and installation is what sets us apart. FT430 Apollo Projects has recently completed an upgrade to the Panhead Brewery in Upper Hutt, owned by Lion Group. The expansion has increased capacity from 1.8 million litres per year to four million litres to meet the growing demand for quality craft beer. Apollo has led the design and build, which included the expansion and relocation of the brewhouse, bottling line and kegging line. The capacity increase was catered for with 18 new fermenting tanks, a new chiller, new fluid transfer lines, a 20 tonne CO2 storage vessel, a new CIP system and all associated services including water, air and co2 lines driven by a new boiler. Amazingly, all this occurred while Panhead continued to brew. The ability to achieve upgrades of this scale without interrupting production is the reason Lion Group involved Apollo Projects in this expansion. Apollo has considerable design and construction experience with cleanroom environments and food and beverage processing. A large part of Apollo’s work in this sector is upgrades or refurbishments of exisiting production facilities, and the company understands operation requirements and works closely with the client to design a facility that meets their needs…all without compromising the cashflow. Apollo, as main contractor, then completes the construction. “It is this skill that is at the heart of Apollo’s success,” the company says. “When engaged early in the design process, Apollo can add value through innovative design solutions and staged construction that allows for the integration of new plant machinery without compromising existing production.”
