When building food manufacturing plants, it is vital to understand the product and the process for producing, packaging and storing raw materials, and the end product. This is coupled with mechanical and electrical design complexities, sanitation issues, energy-saving measures, Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) compliance and equipment integration. It is no wonder that many factors need to be weighed, whether you are building a new facility or upgrading an existing plant.
Nearly all food plants have refrigeration and temperature control requirements. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how to meet these needs most efficiently and cost-effectively. This process begins with knowing your options.
