STAY ON TOP OF INCREASING DEMANDS IN THE FOOD & BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

Electrical cables in the food and beverage industry are constantly exposed to a variety of abusive environments, such as constant washdowns, harsh chemicals, abrasion, heat, cold, flexing, constant motion and impact.

Global specialist distributor and worldwide exporter, Thorne & Derrick International (T&D), recently featured a TPC Wire & Cable contributed article about heat tracing electrical cables for frost protection of water pipework.

Consequences of frost damaged water services can go from inconvenient to catastrophic in an instant.

Engineer and inventor, Nikola Tesla, contributed tremendously to the development of the alternating current (AC) electrical system and the rotating magnetic field. Determined to carry out his forward-thinking vision of AC, Tesla was an inspiration across many industries in the name of science who dared to challenge other technological advancements of his time, such as Thomas Edison's direct current (DC) electrical powerhouses.

To modernize your plant, revamping and debottlenecking (increasing capacity) restores competitiveness and allows your facility to fulfill demanding market requirements regardless of industry. Pinpointing and removing existing bottlenecks will help to achieve optimal results between your investment costs and plant output, thus increasing the quality, quantity and safety of your products. 

Electrical grids require constant updates in order to support the policy goals of the energy industry. Those necessary updates to modernize the power grid include conventional updates as well as advanced digital information and telecommunication technologies.

Mary Gannon, Senior Editor at Design World, recently spoke with the experts at TPC for expert insight into which industries are making the most impact on electrical cable designs.

Medium voltage cable provides a reliable power source in the event of unpredictable power outage situations, power distribution to isolated areas and any application ranging from 5kV up to 35Kv. To ensure that your cable lasts, choose a durable medium voltage cable with excellent flexibility. In addition to flexibility, the cable you choose should include a variety of benefits that will reduce downtime and keep your facility running smoothly.

Custom engineered electrical cable is designed to reduce downtime, increase plant efficiency and solve a specific problem that commodity cable may not solve. Supplying a variety of details, such as the application and environment of the cable, ensures that it will be built specifically to solve your particular problem.

Steel products play an essential and important role in modern life. The manufacture of steel delivers the many goods and services we all know very well—access to reliable and affordable energy, improved agricultural practices, telecommunications, clean water, better transportation networks and healthcare.
