This is usually caused by temporary setpoints adjustments that are made in response to production problems, which are then forgotten, resulting in a loss of products and energy waste. Integrating the spiral freezer controls with the refrigeration and process systems allows the system to automatically update the parameters based on the type of product being produced, saving energy and reducing the amount of waste. VaCom Technologies can assist plants in this endeavor by working with the plant to establish parameters for each product line and then adding spiral freezer controls to the plant control system.
