KOOLTRONIC HELPS PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE

For those of us who eat snack foods and ready-meals and drink soda and energy drinks, it comes as no surprise that the food industry is the largest manufacturing industry in the United States. The business of processing and packaging fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, specialty foods and beverage products is estimated to be over $500 billion.

The food and beverage processing industry involves the use of computer-driven technologies along their filling, labeling, inspection and packing lines. These advanced systems rely on an array of complex electronics to manage automated systems such as AC drives, PLC’s, host computers and other control devices. All of these systems require cooling to maintain peak operating performance.

In food and beverage processing plants, where Government regulated Clean-in-Place procedures require routine high pressure washdowns, these electronic systems need to be housed in NEMA 4/4X rated enclosures. Kooltronic offers a line of NEMA 4/4X air conditioners that are ideal for these situations.

			The Guardian and GuardianX Series indoor/outdoor Air Conditioners are designed specifically for NEMA 4 and 4X enclosure applications that require washdown or are subject to outdoor storm conditions. All Guardian models have a NEMA 4 Rating. The GuardianX, with a NEMA 4X Rating, is offered with a Stainless Steel Shell and Internal Corrosion Protection. With Epoxy-coated condenser coils and tubing, the closed-loop cooling system of the Guardian Series offers added security by providing an operating environment safe from harsh ambient conditions. The Guardian Series consists of seven units with heights from 15 to 60 inches, offering capacities from 1,000 to 26,000 BTU/H. In addition to the list of standard features, these Guardian Series Air Conditioners are also available with a wide range of accessories and options, including short cycle protector, cooling effect detector and heater kit. The features engineered into the Guardian/GuardianX Series make them a tamper-resistant choice for external applications. With all models UL/CUL Listed, the Guardian Series is an excellent choice for telecommunications, wastewater treatment, food and beverage and other challenging applications.
With over 55 years experience, Kooltronic is the industry leader in electronics enclosure cooling. Call your Kooltronic Sales Engineer today to discuss this application in depth.
