The costs associated with downtime in a food
and beverage plant can be very high. If power is
lost during production, the current production batch
may have to be scrapped. Production batch cycles
can range from only a few minutes to as long as
several days, resulting in expensive loss of man
hours, raw materials and finished goods.
Due to the high cost of downtime, most
food and beverage facilities prefer to use higher
performing materials and products to extend
equipment life, and preventive maintenance is
performed at specific intervals instead of waiting
for equipment failure. To minimize plant downtime,
Thomas & Betts offers you the following solutions:
r Long-lasting electrical systems to extend the plant
lifecycle, reduce your capital expenditures and
increase operational equipment effectiveness (OEE)
r High-performance electrical systems to work
in clean-in-place (CIP) sanitation processes
r Installation training certification to help ensure
plant sustainability
r Qualified technical personnel to assist you in quickly
getting your plant back online
r A deep electrical solution offering to standardize
your electrical system and ensure that you have
the products you need on hand at your local
supplier to minimize downtime
