It is a topic that can critically affect the profitability of food and-
beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturers, from the most basic production-line level on through entire plant efficiencies…even overall corporate performance. As belts are tightened, the operators of these manufacturing facilities have been forced to implement new ways to meet established production quotas while spending less money. For many, the low-hanging fruit in this area has been an increased focus on making their operations more energy-efficient, or “green,” to use the increasingly popular vernacular.
This has meant the incorporation of such things as more efficient light bulbs or a streamlining of operations that reduces the plant’s consumption of electricity, leading to a decrease in its carbon footprint. The ultimate goal in these lean manufacturing operations is to realize current or higher product yields while using fewer resources with the ultimate outcome being a healthier bottom line.
Thanks to innovative fluid-transfer methods, it is possible to accomplish far greater savings than those realized in energy alone in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetic/personal-care industries.
