Personnel
Protection
Not only is food
safety important in
a food processing
environment – so is
the safety of the personnel who
work in these areas. Employees
are subject to the risk of
electrical shock from exposed
wiring and trips and falls from
cables and cords on the oor.
Injury due to working alongside
harsh chemicals and in extreme
temperatures are also a concern.
Commitment to personnel
safety requires the right types of
electrical components to protect
against hazards.
Process
Automation
Improving food
processing
capabilities and
efciencies can
help lower production costs
while improving overall
productivity. To achieve this, all
electrical, instrumentation and
automation components must
work together efciently and
effectively within the process
automation. Automating food
and beverage processing
requires equipment exibility
and the ability to recongure
quickly and efciently.
Harsh
Locations
Food processing
plants can be
classied as
hazardous by
the National Electrical Code
because of the way materials
are handled, processed,
and stored. Explosion and
re are possible due to the
presence of ammable gases,
vapors, and dust. To protect
food processing facilities and
employees, high-performance
solutions are needed to
prevent and contain possible
explosion.
