Control What You Can't Afford To Lose

 

Two of the most frustrating failures in food & beverage plants are overheated control panels that will shut down your line and level problems you don't catch until product is already wasted.

 

Your enclosures are packed with VFDs and controls that hate heat and humidity. You need accurate level monitoring that won't fail when needs change or buildup occurs.

 

This month we will discuss cooling solutions to protect your critical controls, and ultrasonic sensing that works even in the worst of conditions.

 

Here are two blogs to get you started before we dive into specific products:

  • The Secret to Smooth Bottling Lines
  • 5 Signs Your Motor Needs a VFD (and what's it's costing you!)

Level Sensing That Doesn't Touch Your Product

The Autonics UTR series of ultrasonic sensors is popular for food and beverage processing.

  • Reliable Measurement - no-contact measuring in tanks, vats and vessels
  • Harsh Environment? No Problem - accurate in washdown, steam, residue or constantly changing surfaces
  • Can Handle Liquids or Bulk Solids -  water, oils, syrups, food-grade fluids or bulk solids (even beans!)
  • Read: The Secret Sauce of Food Processing

Reliable non-contact level measurement can be yours now.

The Kitchen Is No Place for Overheated Controls

Keeping temperatures cool in commercial bakeries (hello flour dust!) and bottling plants can be surprisingly difficult.

 

High temperatures, washdowns and challenging schedules all take their toll on control panels.

 

The Pfannenberg PWS air-to-water heat exchangers are::

  • Ready for Extreme Conditions

  • Maintenance-Free and Energy Efficient

  • High Cooling Capacity

Speed Dating for Motors

Finding Your Perfect VFD Match

VFDs are everywhere in food and beverage plants. Conveyors, mixers, pumps, blowers, augers, virtually everything with a motor benefits from variable speed control. 

 

Where there are VFDs, there are motors. Food and beverage is full of them; from small conveyors to large compressors and pumps. WEG and Teco are popular because they offer washdown-duty stainless options built for food environments.

 

We recently had some fun with the VFD and motor relationship, read Speed Dating for Motors: Don't Let your VFD Be a Bad Ex.

 

 

Something Powerful

VFDs are everywhere in your plants and equipment. Conveyors, mixers, pumps, blowers, augers ... virtually everything with a motor benefits from variable speed control. 

 

Where there are VFDs, there are motors. WEG and Teco motors are particularly popular because they offer washdown-duty and stainless options for food environments.
