Interroll, one of the world's leading providers of material flow solutions, presents innovative technologies for food-safe automation at IFFA 2025 in Frankfurt. The focus is on the Special Hygienic Conveyor (SHC), which was specifically developed for the strict requirements of packaged food distribution and is based on the successful Modular Conveyor Platform (MCP). (Copyright: INTERROLL Holding GmbH)

With the SHC, Interroll offers a conveyor solution for the temperature range of -5 to 40 degrees Celsius, specifically for packaged food or E2 standard crates. (Copyright: INTERROLL Holding GmbH)

The SHC platform is designed as a plug-and-play system and can be easily connected to existing conveyor systems with a special transition module. This makes the conveyor platform not only ideal for new installations but also for modernization projects, serving as the perfect solution for transporting packaged food.

The ultrasonic sensor can be used to monitor hydrogen tanks, pipelines, or connection pieces. Similar to smoke detectors, they could be distributed throughout a room to form a sensor network. © Fraunhofer IPM

Function principle of ultrasonic sensor: The LED light generates an ultrasonic wave in the gas. If hydrogen enters the housing, a resonance shift occurs. A MEMS microphone detects this resonance shift. © Fraunhofer IPM / How the ultrasonic sensor works: The LED light generates sound waves in the gas. If hydrogen enters the container, the resonance changes. A MEMS microphone registers the shift. © Fraunhofer IPM

Hydrogen can be stored and transported in the form of ammonia (NH3). The laser spectrometer from Fraunhofer IPM measures and evaluates an absorption line of ammonia. The system then displays the result on a screen. © Fraunhofer IPM
