5 ways to improve food processing efficiency with Testo thermal imaging cameras

The food and drink processing industry is the fourth highest industrial energy user in the UK, according to The Carbon Trust. In 2010, it consumed nearly 37TWh, which is enough energy to power 125,000 homes for nearly 15 years and up to 3 times as much energy per square foot as the average commercial building. With this in mind, the importance of successfully managing the energy efficiency and running costs of any food processing facility becomes immediately obvious. This coupled with the continuous production pressures of the industry means that an emphasis must be put on keeping production machines running at optimum capacity. Maintenance downtime costs almost every production line at least 5% of its productive capacity, and many lose up to 20%. Maximising efficiency and minimising downtime then, is a clear challenge faced by any production team
