81. The Multiple Uses For Heat Exchangers In Brewing 5/20/2021

    There are numerous uses for heat exchangers in breweries — from cooling, pasteurizing, and fermenting products to efficiently dealing with waste streams such as yeast slurry. Compared to other methods of heating, heat exchangers can be much more energy-efficient, providing both environmental and economic benefits.

82. Design Considerations For Low-Pressure Air Blowers In Wastewater Treatment 5/19/2021

    The basic function of a wastewater treatment (WWT) system is to accelerate the natural process that purifies water. And low-pressure air blowers are used in WWT for two key purposes that help accomplish this goal: aeration and agitation.

83. Depositing - The Future Of Hard Candy 5/3/2021

    Review the basic principles of depositing, the fundamental design aspects that should be considered when engineering a complete depositing solution, and many of the changes seen over the last 50 years.

84. Plant-Based Foods: Meeting The Challenges Of Innovation And Food Safety 4/23/2021

    One of the fastest growing areas of innovation in the food industry is plant-based proteins. Learn about this trend and how product inspection programs can adapt.

85. Harnessing 20 Years Of Evolution In Wastewater Bioprocess Aeration 4/6/2021

    Cost-efficient aeration still remains an underlying challenge. This Q&A article provides a look at how the industry arrived at today’s opportunities and where it’s headed for the future.

86. The Role Of Aeration In Optimal Yeast And Enzyme Production 4/5/2021

    Installing the most appropriate blower equipment in the process can enhance yeast and enzyme production, minimize energy costs, guarantee food safety, and avoid costly failures.

87. Air Quality And Air Treatment In Compressed Air Systems 3/26/2021

    Compressed air quality is mission critical in manufacturing. When determining the right air treatment components for a compressed air system, there is a great deal to keep in mind. In this paper, we discuss compressed air quality and how it impacts operating costs and production. 

88. Over-Sized And Under-Utilized: An Epidemic 3/26/2021

    With over ten thousand air systems audits under our belt, we've seen it all and learned a few things. One of the most common problems we see is that most systems have far more capacity than needed. On average, users operate at 44% of peak capacity. It's so common, we'd say it is an epidemic, and even our own customers are not immune despite our efforts to inoculate with education. This article takes a look at some actual examples of over-sized systems and the costs that resulted. Learn how to properly plan for a compressed air system and what your options are with an existing system.

89. Top 5 Commercial Crushers That Help Manage Waste Production 3/10/2021

    Commercial crushers and lump breakers use impact and force to reduce solids, lumps and chunks in size.

90. An Economical Approach To Acute Packaging Issues 1/19/2021

    With the coronavirus pandemic driving a major shift in consumer habits from restaurant dining to home meals — and the rapid change is causing significant stress on packaging equipment lines. Learn more about how a cost-effective approach to packaging is one that is integrated into an advanced data infrastructure as part of a wider solution to improve quality, safety, sustainability, and asset health.
