Model QIF 600L HPP Press Scales New Productivity Heights

VÄSTERÅS, Sweden, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — With the debut of the QIF 600L High Pressure Processing (HPP) system, Quintus Technologies once again raises the bar in high pressure processing. The new press model, launching today, offers an impressive 600-litre cycle capacity, the largest in the industry. Its generous 18.5 inches (47 cm) pressure vessel diameter improves load efficiency and accommodates more packages per cycle. Equipped with up to 12 intensifiers, the scalable system can process 9,140 lbs. (4,150 kg.) per hour to meet the most demanding production needs.

“As the array of food and beverage products that benefit from high pressure processing continues to grow, so does the demand for HPP capacity—and productivity,” says Ed Williams, General Manager – Americas, Quintus Technologies

High Pressure Processing is recognized globally as the premium, non-thermal minimal-processing technique to produce safer, preservative-free refrigerated foods and beverages. By using ultra-high pressure instead of heat or chemicals, HPP inactivates foodborne pathogens to ensure product safety while maintaining freshness, taste, and nutritional value.

“As the array of food and beverage products that benefit from high pressure processing continues to grow, so does the demand for HPP capacity—and productivity,” says Ed Williams, General Manager – Americas, Quintus Technologies. “Our new QIF 600L responds to these needs, increasing throughput per cycle and boosting overall production capacity while lowering per unit costs.”

A multitude of advanced features to maximize system availability make the press an efficient, cost-effective solution in high-volume environments. All components that require regular maintenance or inspection are easily accessible. An integrated condition monitoring system uses AI algorithms to predict the need for maintenance of vital components, reducing the risk of unplanned stops. “SmartPress,” easy-to-use cloud-based press management software, provides extensive support for the press operation and maintenance as well as a fast, direct line to Quintus support and guaranteed access to spare and wear parts.

“These high-performing solutions reflect Quintus’s leadership role in high pressure for nearly three-quarters of a century,” Mr. Williams comments. “Our groundbreaking achievements include the development of the first commercially viable HPP system for food and beverage applications in 1995. Our wire wound pressure vessel design is widely acknowledged to be the safest, most reliable, and durable pressure containment system ever invented.”

Quintus press offerings are accompanied by the industry’s best-in-class HPP service program, Quintus® Care, a customized service solution that ensures operational reliability, maximum performance, controlled annual costs, and long-term partnership. Application support is available at the company’s HPP Application Centers in the U.S., Sweden, and China, where food science experts help processors reduce delays in bringing new HPP products to market. The menu of services spans the entire HPP development process, from optimized product formulations and packaging, in-house pathogen validation, and shelf-life studies to assistance with HACCP implementation and regulatory compliance and optimizing processing parameters for maximum ROI.

“As the originator of HPP technology, we are proud to see our presses play a part in helping industry address global safety and sustainability challenges such as food waste, product recalls, and related foodborne illnesses,” states Johan Hjärne, CEO of Quintus Technologies. “With the addition of the scalable QIF 600L, we now have a gamut of state-of-the-art, high-performance press models that give processors of all sizes a competitive edge.”

Depending on intensifier configuration, the QIF 600L press scales from 6,860 lbs. to 9,140 lbs. (3,110 kg. to 4,150 kg.) per hour.

Visit the Quintus HPP team at Pack Expo in Chicago, IL, Nov. 3-6, 2024, in the Processing Zone, Booth LU-7566.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
