Food Processing Industry

There are dozens of food processing processes that use spray technology. In addition, food plants have extensive cleaning and sanitation requirements and spray technology is usually the preferred solution. With decades of experience in food processing and the industry's most extensive product line, we've helped hundreds of plants improve quality, minimize waste and increase operating efficiency. We can help you too.

Change the Way You Spray to Use Less Water

There are dozens of changes you can make to consume less water without compromising performance in your processing and sanitation operations. Here are just a few:

• Use automated tank washers to clean tanks and vats. Water savings are typically significant – millions of gallons per year
• Replace open hoses with spray guns and reduce water consumption by 50% or more
• Use spray manifolds equipped with nozzles instead of pipes with holes to reduce water use by as much as 50%
• Inspect and replace worn spray nozzles on a regular basis – water waste from even slightly worn nozzles can easily reach hundreds of gallons per hour

New Technical Manual 415, Change the Way You Spray to Maximize Water Conservation, provides more information on these topics and provides dozens of additional suggestions.
