We understand as a consumer that it can get aggravating when you purchase a bottled beverage and the packaging is either defective or the container is not filled properly. It is crucial that beverage and food manufactures implement an inspection system - not only for sanitary reasons, but also for product quality. Once quality is compromised, the manufacturer loses brand reputation.

Ammonia Gas Detection in Food & Beverage Facilities

Alarm and Warning Devices to Notify Personnel Regarding Dangerous Gas Leaks
Ammonia leaks are pretty uncommon, but when one does occur - the results could be lethal. Ammonia gas is very toxic and flammable. Typically ammonia can be detected by smell (a strong and pungent odor), but it is a colorless gas.
The human nose can detect an ammonia leak with exposure between 5-20 ppm. With exposure 25 - 1,000 ppm, employees with have teary eyes, difficulty breathing, and the instinct to flee the area. The time exposed and the amount of ammonia the employee(s) are exposed to, determines various effects on the human body - ranging from a slight smell to teary eyes and unable to breathe, possibly death.

Pasta - A staple in Italian cuisine that can be found in almost every household. It is a food that carries memories and conveys emotions.
Pasta is a noodle that is made from water and flour (eggs and other ingredients can be added for various flavors) – it has a simple composition, but the process requires a lot of love and patience. Pasta is classified under two broad categories: dried and fresh – from there it is classified by various shapes, sizes, flavors and ingredients.

Indication, Warning & Alarm Solutions for Food & Beverage Applications
Posted by Allison Kowalewski on Mar 3, 2016 12:50:47 PM
Robust, field-proven, visual and audible devices for alarm, warning, and indication
Signaling confusion throughout many manufacturing facilities is a big problem. At the plant level, many OEM machines have the proper alarms, but they only emit a couple of tones and optional visual alerts, making it difficult to determine which machine had an event or why the alarm was triggered.
Pfannenberg's visual and acoustic signaling devices can easily be installed on existing systems. Satisfying numerous alarm, warning, and indication requirements, including: machinery operating status, process monitoring, system startup, and building or area evacuation due to fire, toxic gas leak, spills, or intruder alert. With robust construction, up to 80 tones and the ability to withstand severe environments these devices are ideal for the state and federal safety requirements that companies need to obey.

Pfannenberg's Custom Chillers Deliver Liquid Cooling for Chemical Synthesis Reactor
Posted by Marine Vienney on Mar 3, 2016 12:35:00 PM
Pfannenberg fits chiller into confined space within a packaged Ferrator® targeted for water and wastewater treatment in third world countries.
In their quest to develop an affordable Ferrate synthesis system, Ferrate Treatment Technologies, LLC of Orlando turned to Pfannenberg for help with developing a liquid cooling solution for a small, cabinet based system.
While already using Pfannenberg chillers for larger, trailer-based Ferrate synthesis systems, standard packaged chillers were capable of integrating seamlessly within the concept of the self-contained cabinet-based Ferrator system.
