18 Jul Cable Trays Solutions for The Food Industry
As a food company, we have a comprehensive understanding of the role we play in the food supply chain’s processes. This concept encompasses the various stages of transportation, reception, storage, processing, and preservation.
The primary sources of raw materials in this industry are derived from plants (agricultural), animals (livestock), and fungi (related to mushrooms).
The progress of this industry has been significantly influenced by advancements in food science and technology. The increase in food production has been accompanied by a continuous improvement in the monitoring and enforcement of hygiene and food regulations. This is particularly notable in countries striving to standardize and regulate their processes and products.
At Invention Steel, we have adapted to these emerging industry trends to offer our customers more efficient services. Our Solutions:
- Clean and Processing Areas
The facilities in processing areas must be constructed with a strong emphasis on hygiene to ensure food safety and eliminate the risk of contamination. Additionally, easy cleaning and disinfection procedures should be in place, as they contribute to the overall maintenance and longevity of the installation.
Choosing the right materials for cable trays is essential to ensure thorough cleaning and resistance to contact with both food and cleaning agents. It’s important to note that facilities that are difficult to clean will require more intensive methods, harsher chemicals, or longer cleaning cycles, all of which result in increased costs.
- Extreme Temperature Zones
Extreme temperature zones include areas with very low temperatures, where ambient temperatures can drop below -25°C and remain low for extended periods. These areas include freezing chambers and cold rooms. It’s crucial to ensure that the electrical equipment used in these locations is designed to withstand the operating temperatures without deteriorating.
Cable trays in UAE should be capable of withstanding the stresses that come with exposure to varying temperatures, especially in cold storage areas, where they must endure air circulation from the warmest to the coldest sections of the installation without losing their integrity.
- Underground Storage Areas
Underground storage facilities are susceptible to high humidity levels, leading to damp floors, ceilings, and walls, which can potentially lead to mold growth and water condensation. To address this, electrical materials, particularly cable management systems, should meet IP protection standards when used for terminals, splices, connections, and systems or devices that require protection against vertical drops and water spray in these environments.
- Outdoor Storage Areas
Outdoor storage areas are subject to various climatic factors such as moisture and sunlight, which can accelerate wear and tear on stored goods. To combat this, the use of cable trays in outdoor installations should meet a minimum corrosion resistance rating of Class 5, with a galvanization process specifically designed to withstand adverse weather conditions for an extended period.
- Production Control Areas
The production control area, often situated adjacent to or separate from the plant, is where all production activities are coordinated. All signals from machinery converge in this area, where they are processed to create the daily schedule that governs the entire factory’s production activities.
Cable trays used in production control areas are indoors with limited exposure to external elements, ensuring the longevity of the product.
Materials Installed with Raw Materials: Materials must exhibit durability, cleanability, and, when necessary, disinfectability, without any breaks and should be resistant to cracking, chipping, scaling, or abrasion, preventing unwanted materials from permeating them. Additionally, the following criteria should be met:
– Corrosion protection
– Non-toxic
– Non-absorbent
– Free from odors, colors, and stains
Materials used in non-food areas should either be inherently corrosion-resistant or treated with coatings or paints to provide corrosion resistance. The surfaces of these materials should also be easy to clean.
Cleaning: Surfaces should be designed to prevent product particles from becoming trapped in minor indentations, making them difficult to remove. Surfaces must be smooth, continuous, or sealed to facilitate cleaning and disinfection as needed.
Countless individuals rely on reputable organizations and skilled professionals to install their cable tray systems. Construction sites, businesses, manufacturers, and even homeowners depend on cable tray systems to deliver power, telecom, IT, and television services.
Engaging with an experienced professional for correct cable tray installation is highly recommended and a worthwhile investment. If you feel comfortable, you can either supply them with the necessary materials or undertake the cable tray installation yourself.
