Sealants & air system efficiency : how to Improve Energy Efficiency in Food Frozen and processing field

23/11/2012

 

Most food manufacturing and processing operations utilize pneumatic controls and systems. Leakage is the major cause of inefficiency in compressed air systems. A typical system under constant operation with only a ¼-in. leak can cost an average of $8,300 per year in wasted energy consumption.

 

Thread sealants seal air lines while allowing for post-assembly adjustments. A quality sealant can withstand temperatures to 400°F and seal at operating pressures up to 10,000 psi without cracking or shrinking. This is a simple, inexpensive way to save thousands of dollars in energy costs each year.

 

While food processors can't control rising global energy costs, they can take control over their in-plant operating efficiencies and, consequently, reduce energy consumption by equipment and systems.
