SUMMARY:Improve pet food dryer efficiency without more heat
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nPet food dryers are often treated like “big metal boxes\,” where the mystery of what’s happening inside can hide major opportunities to improve performance\, product quality\, and profitability. Join us for an exclusive webinar with Jim Mullinax\, Process Engineer at Bühler\, as he explores common factors that can negatively impact dryer efficiency\, consistency\, and final product quality. Many of these issues\, from maintenance gaps to operational variables\, are easy to overlook but can lead to costly problems such as inconsistent final moisture\, uneven moisture distribution\, kibble breakage\, increased energy use\, and unplanned downtime. Learn practical steps you can take now using existing tools and data to improve performance\, reduce energy use\, and enhance consistency. See how a deeper analysis of moisture and process data can unlock further optimization and cost savings. \nThis webinar will broadcast at 10:00 AM CDT (Chicago) / 4:00 PM BST (London) / 11:00 PM CST (Beijing). \nWHAT YOU’LL LEARN: \n\nIdentify common maintenance and operational issues that can lead to inconsistent final moisture\, uneven distribution\, reduced product quality\, kibble breakage\, energy inefficiency\, and unplanned downtime.\nApply simple operating adjustments that can improve dryer performance immediately.\nUnderstand what happens inside the dryer and how it impacts drying results and product quality.\nUse process data to uncover deeper opportunities for energy recovery\, optimization\, and cost savings.\n\nThis webinar is sponsored by Bühler and presented by Petfood Industry.

SUMMARY:Integrating Heating and Cooling in Food Production
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAs utility costs continue to rise and companies are pressured to reduce energy use\, waste heat is an increasingly valuable — and often untapped — resource. Recovering and reusing waste heat establishes on-site energy circularity that increases overall facility efficiency\, significantly lowers operational costs and supports decarbonization/sustainability efforts. Industrial heat pumps make it possible for food and beverage companies to recover heat from ammonia refrigeration systems and reuse the thermal energy for production processes like pasteurization\, sanitation and space heating – resulting in cost savings that can quickly pay back upfront investment. \nJoin this session to learn how industrial heat pumps work\, see in-the-field results and determine the scope of your facility’s opportunity. \nAttendees will learn: \n\nHow industrial heat pumps turn waste heat into cost savings.\nWhat makes a facility a strong candidate for ammonia refrigeration heat recovery.\nHow a cheese producer cut annual carbon emissions by 13 million pounds while achieving equipment ROI within a year and a half.\nHow to design a heat pump system that maximizes energy savings and accelerates return on investment.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Impact of Pathogenic Spores on Milk Safety: From Farm to Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nSpore-forming pathogens present a persistent and complex challenge in dairy production\, with significant implications for product safety. These microorganisms\, particularly species of Clostridium and Bacillus\, are highly resilient in spore form\, capable of surviving pasteurization and other heat treatments\, and are commonly introduced through farm environments such as soil\, silage\, water\, and bedding. \nThis webinar will provide a focused exploration of spore-forming pathogens in the dairy supply chain\, beginning at the farm level and extending through processing and finished products. We will examine the primary sources and transmission pathways of spores\, and how on-farm practices directly influence downstream risks\, and mitigation strategies at the farm and processing levels. \nThe session will also cover current and emerging detection methods\, risk monitoring approaches\, and targeted mitigation strategies. By connecting farm management practices with manufacturing outcomes\, this webinar aims to equip dairy professionals with practical\, actionable strategies to mitigate risk\, improve milk quality\, and enhance product performance. \nLearning Objectives: By the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the major spore-forming pathogens relevant to dairy production (e.g.\, Clostridium spp.\, Bacillus spp.)\, including their biological characteristics and resistance mechanisms.\nExplain the primary on-farm sources and transmission pathways of spore contamination\, including the role of silage quality\, hygiene practices\, bedding materials\, and environmental exposure.\nAnalyze the impact of spore-forming pathogens on dairy processing and finished products\, including their role in dairy safety and quality.\nEvaluate current detection\, enumeration\, and monitoring methods for spore-formers\, including their advantages\, limitations\, and appropriate applications across the supply chain.\nApply targeted and integrated control strategies to reduce spore loads\, linking on-farm interventions (e.g.\, feed and hygiene management) with processing controls (e.g.\, clarification\, filtration\, thermal strategies\, etc).
