Power protection solutions for the food and beverage industry

With increasing automation in picking processes, stable power is required. The installation of UPS on control equipment can eliminate waste and increase output.

Mixing machines often have high starting torque and often operate at different mixing speeds. This can cause undesired voltage fluctuations within a facility, affecting sensitive equipment connected to the same power supply.

Food safety is of paramount importance, and so sterilization is a key element of nearly all food and beverage processes. Any power events or interruptions that impact the sterilization process can result in lost product. Costs can be significant with the disposal of waste product and the extended time it can take to clean the system prior to recommencing production

Filling machines designed to fill dry mixes, liquid or thin food products can be subject to voltage sags. Eliminating these common power quality problems can help filling machines achieve continuous output and reduce product waste.

Often a highly automated process and the final stage after packaging, Robots are widely used, and they require good quality power for continuous operation.

Increased automation means conveyors of increased speed and complexity. Interruptions are usually caused by voltage fluctuation causing sensors, drives or controls to malfunction. Beside the physical damage to product or tools, it also causes time-outs for cleaning or repair works.

Packing is several fully automated process executed at high speed. They may include product separating, weighting, vacuuming, and freezing. Disruptions to packing results in product loss, poor quality and potential health risks if the packing is compromised

Reliability is often fundamental in heating or boiling processes. Eliminating poor power quality issues that affect the reliability of these processes can help machines achieve continuous output and reduce product waste

Pumps keep your process running consistently by securing the flow of water and other liquids. Power quality and protection can help achieve accurate flow control, efficiency, reliability and food safety.

For many companies in the food and beverage sector, cooling/ refrigeration is key. There are a number of strict health and safety standards that you need to abide by. Poor power quality could affect this application and result in loss or wasted product.
