Canteens and Restaurants
How can I completely prevent flies from coming into the dining area in my canteen or restaurant. I have already installed an insectocutor but it’s not helped so far.
Ps. The doors are not left opened. It’s only opened when people are coming in.

Hemp Seed Cake Processing
Hello Everyone,
I am an aspiring entrepreneur and would like to venture into the possibilities of processing Hemp seed cake (Cannabis sativa). I have a few questions;
i) Is it possible to produce extruded products from hemp seed cake by adding it to durum wheat dough ? (This question arises because hemp seeds have high amounts of oil which might not be suitable for the extrusion process.)
ii) Is there any way to reduce the oil content?
iii) What other technology do you see to be suitable for hemp seed cake processing (in light of new product development)?
Thanking in Anticipation.

Bag Seal Inspection
The Q Seal Flow Wrap system checks the seal integrity of food bags packed on a vertical form fill machine. It detects food residue and greases in the seal area. Folded, burnt or missing seals are reliably detected. A top quality seal area does not only prevent food spoilage and prolong shelf life, but also ensures the aesthetics of the product.

Suggestion about Almond roasting on salt
Hi, I am trying to roast almond on a pan on salt (no oil added) and found to be cracking at high temperature (above 140oC) though texture found to be good after 20min roasting. If maintain 120oC, it takes an hour to roast though no sign of cracking. Appreciate if anyone guide / suggest me about optimum roasting condition.
Thx, Shameem
