No Matter How You Slice It Most industries have multiple options when it comes to cutting machinery. Between lasers, EDM (Electrical Discharge Machinery), plasma cutters, and water jet cutters we are spoiled for choice. Each cutting method has pros and cons and all have evolved into efficient and useful industrial tools. In the last 90 […]
Wide World of Lasers
What Can Lasers Do? In today’s modern age, a more appropriate question would be “what can’t lasers do?” When Theodore Maiman built and demonstrated the first functioning laser in 1960, he prophetically predicted that “a laser is a solution seeking a problem.”
Guide to Ultra Low Temperature Chillers
Ultra low temperature process chilling is a highly specialized branch of refrigeration that has a myriad of industrial uses. From aerospace to food service, many industries benefit from pushing the chilling envelope lower and lower. Let’s explore the world of ultra low temperature process cooling.
Ultra Low Temperature Process Cooling
Our modern lives, as we know them, would be very different without process cooling. Many of the products we use, buy, wear, and eat, rely heavily on precise temperature control at different stages of their manufacturing and transportation processes. But what do manufacturers do when their products require exposure to extreme temperature environments? Let’s take a closer look at ultra low-temperature process cooling, who needs it, and why.
Cooling in Food Processing
As food products make their way from farm to table, they travel a path that is fraught with danger. As they are processed, packaged, distributed, and sold they are susceptible to spoilage, pathogen growth, and other contamination. Let’s follow food’s journey and find out what systems are in place to make sure it safely reaches our plates.
