Green initiatives have shown that raising cold-chain temperatures by 3°C from -18°C to -15°C can save the industry money, but how well can equipment in service support the move?

Temperature control from the top of the food chain.

Suboptimal transport conditions and equipment play a significant role in food wastage; upgrading refrigerated equipment with telematics can be a realistic, sustainable part of the solution

The system measures temperature and humidity and provides Bluetooth communication to display and upload data to the cloud.

The company launched a new industrial air curtain.

The Optyma Control AK-RC 251 is designed for safety, protection and ease of installation in walk-in coolers and freezers for upgrades to existing walk-ins as well as new installations.

Nelson Heat Trace Type AXPC100 CM GP is a microprocessor-based combination power connection and digital electronic controller designed for stand-alone pipe mounted electric heat tracing applications. 

ITS and KTS sensors for OEM application offer a selection of sensor types, including thermocouple, RTD, KTY and NTC. 

While not intuitively obvious, some processes lend themselves to having their control systems linked to a building’s control system, climate controls or HVAC. For example, a spiral freezer should be linked with process and environmental controls to save energy and improve the process. Other process applications that can benefit from further integration with environmental controls include drying, baking and other yeast-based processes.
