The Influence of Viscosity on Equipment & Piping Design

Ingredient viscosity is a property that greatly influences equipment design and piping layouts. During the design process, it is important to understand the extent of viscosity changes with temperature, and the impact of the corresponding pressure drop on pipe design and the selection of the process pump. In the most recent issue of Hixson’s From Experience newsletter, we look at how product reformulations and plant layout changes can result in lower production rates, higher product quality issues, and occasionally pump failures.

Three Key Reasons For Utilizing Simulation

Spreadsheet programs are used for data analysis by nearly every organization across the globe. While these programs work well for quick data analysis, they struggle with modeling complex systems. In manufacturing, simulation provides a more advanced solution for developing models that include the various micro-processes making up a larger production line. In the latest issue […]

Understanding Building Automation System (BAS) Communication Protocols

A Building Automation System (BAS) integrates various controls to enhance energy efficiency and reduce operational costs. However, ensuring all equipment works in harmony presents a key challenge: For optimal performance, the devices within a BAS must communicate seamlessly. This communication depends on protocols – standardized methods for exchanging data between devices. In the latest issue […]

Nitrogen vs. Compressed Air for Dry Sprinkler Systems

Many facilities use compressed air for dry sprinkler systems, due to convenience and a lower initial investment. However, compressed air is also a common failure point for these systems, as its use can lead to pinhole leaks. Since these leaks can compromise entire sections of the dry sprinkler system, daily operations must be shut down […]

In the Summer issue of EH&S From Experience, we outlined six signs that you may need install a wastewater pretreatment system…or improve the one you have. After conducting research or discussions with your local sewer department, you may determine that it’s time for a new or upgraded system. If so, the next step is to […]

The Value of Interstitial Spaces

The production areas within a food and beverage plant are the most critical spaces in the facility. In addition to the production equipment itself, these areas require the appropriate design and maintenance to support proper hygiene and sanitation. They are also typically the most utility-intensive spaces as well. In the latest issue of Hixson’s From […]

Propylene Glycol: Too Much of a Good Thing

Throughout the food processing industry, propylene glycol is used in process heat transfer coolant systems when direct cooling with primary refrigerants is not acceptable, and the use of water alone would be at risk of freezing. After system maintenance or repairs, the propylene glycol and water concentration must be replenished in the system. Yet over […]

Six Signs Your Facility May Need a Wastewater Pretreatment System

Wastewater pretreatment is the process of removing pollutants from a facility’s wastewater to bring it from industrial levels of pollution (several thousand mg/L) closer to the more common residential levels of pollution (a couple hundred mg/L). At manufacturing plants, typical methods of wastewater pretreatment include equalization, pH adjustment, or pollution reduction. Of course, not every […]

Staying Safe: A Reminder from OSHA

Does your facility use meat grinders? The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently sent out a reminder to keep your team members’ safe when working with this machinery. OSHA recommends that employees working with this equipment be trained to: Only use a proper plunger when feeding meat into grinders. Operate grinders only when feeding […]

The Essentials of Roof Load Capacity

Since original drawings for older buildings are often lost or discarded over time, many renovation project teams must spend significant time trying to determine whether a roof can sustain additional weight. Yet trying to get more load capacity from an existing roof can be difficult even for more modern facilities where drawings do exist. If […]
