Jacek Henzel - Nowa technologia produkcji keczupu

Nowa technologia produkcji keczupu

Transformacja cyfrowa

“W procesie tworzenia  technologii produkcji keczupu o podwyższonych walorach odżywczych Łukasiewicz – Instytut Technologii Eksploatacji wykonał dla nas szereg badań. Na co dzień nie zastanawiamy się, że gdzieś w laboratoriach całe zespoły fizyków i technologów wyznaczają np. zależność lepkości dynamicznej od szybkości ścinania keczupu. Ja w każdym razie przy grillu zawsze ciepło myślę o naukowcach”.

How did Lukasiewicz help?:

  • Badał kinetykę zmian właściwości fizykochemicznych nowego produktu w symulowanych warunkach przechowalniczych
  • Badał stabilność mikrobiologiczną nowego produktu w symulowanych warunkach przechowalniczych

Komponenty dla technologii średniej podczerwieni

Transformacja cyfrowa

“VIGO System od lat współpracuje z instytutami Sieci Badawczej Łukasiewicz. Zrealizowaliśmy wspólnie wiele projektów B+R, dzięki którym tworzymy dziś światowej klasy komponenty średniej podczerwieni  (lasery, detektory, prowadnice falowe tzw. waveguide). Wymiana wiedzy eksperckiej oraz usługi świadczone przez Łukasiewicza są zawsze na najwyższym poziomie”

How did Lukasiewicz help?:

  • Dostarczył maski do fotolitografii umożliwiające processing warstw półprzewodnikowych i późniejsze tworzenie detektora podczerwieni
  • Przeprowadził testy i pomiary warstw epitaksjalnych oraz prototypów nowych produktów

Monitorowanie parametrów wytopu szkła

Transformacja cyfrowa

“Współpraca technologiczna Trend Glass z  z Łukasiewicz – Instytutem Technologii Eksploatacji pozwoliła podwyższyć efektywność produkcji i jakość wyrobów ze szkła. Cenimy sobie wsparcie technologiczne pozyskane od fachowców z Instytutu oraz ich wkład w proces wzrostu spółki w obszarze producentów i dystrybutorów szkła gospodarczego, dekoracyjnego oraz użytkowego”.

How did Lukasiewicz help?:

  • Zastosował rozwiązanie obejmujące system monitorowania kluczowych parametrów wytopu szkła i wieloparametrycznej inspekcji optycznej wyrobów on-line
  • Wdrożył technologię regeneracji oprzyrządowania

Biopreparat przyspieszający kompostowanie

Zrównoważona gospodarka i energia

“Dzięki współpracy z naukowcami z Łukasiewicz – Instytutu Inżynierii Materiałów Polimerowych i Barwników jako pierwsi zajęliśmy się opracowaniem biopreparatu mikrobiologiczno-enzymatycznego przyspieszającego kompostowanie materiałów biodegradowalnych. Dzięki tej współpracy znaleźliśmy również dofinansowanie do badań i nasz pomysł może zostać wdrożony”.

How did Lukasiewicz help?:

  • Dobrał czynniki aktywne produktu
  • Opracował formę i sposób wytwarzania produktu
