Food plants

 

TC Ceramic has been utilized in a variety of industrial plants across the globe. TC Ceramic applications, although vary from customer to customer, some of the most used applications for food processing plants are including, but not limited to, the following:

  1. SAFETY - is one of the largest reasons for using TC Ceramic as it adheres directly to most any surface which, if hot, cuts the risk of injury from burning for employees. TC Ceramic can lower surface temperatures to easily comply with OSHA requirements.
  2. HOT PIPE OR BOILERS - Lower the temperature of hot pipe of several hundred degrees to under 150°F or lower with only thousandths (30 to 120 thousandths) of an inch of TC Ceramic thickness depending upon the starting temperature. (Proctor and Gamble has approved TC Ceramic for use in their plants.)
  3. BREWING OR COOKING KETTLES - Large kettles, which previously could not be insulated or were difficult to insulate, can now be insulated simply without having to change anything. The exterior of the kettle can be insulated with a coating of TC Ceramic which helps to provide more consistent cooking/brewing temperatures and lower energy costs. (Suggested thickness of 60 to 120 thousandths of an inch.)
  4. COST SAVINGS - TC Ceramic generally will provide material and labor savings to the customer because:
    1. It is applied directly to the hot surface without having to shut down operations.
    2. It lasts longer that than conventional insulation, thus saving material costs and labor time of not having to re insulate every several years.
    3. It can be applied to all fittings, pipe bends, pipe connections and other hard to insulate situations.
    4. It can be easily reapplied in situations where it has been removed for general maintenance on any surface.
    5. It is more efficient for energy savings on pipe, boilers, heat exchangers, etc.
  5. CORROSION RESISTANT - TC Ceramic, by its nature, is anti-corrosive because it adheres directly to the surface material and no longer allows moisture to attach to the surface, thus cutting out the environment for corrosion. (TC Ceramic is not sold as an anti-corrosive material, but the anti-corrosive benefits are a by product.)
  6. ROOF APPLICATIONS -
    1. A. Cut the solar heat through the roof by as much as 20 to 50 degrees, depending upon multiple variables.
    2. B. By cutting the heat that penetrates the roof, the contraction and expansion of the roof caused by the heat will be reduced, thus reducing roof leakage and the costs of roof maintenance and damage to the roof.
    3. C. By cutting the heat that penetrates the roof, the costs for air conditioning, refrigeration costs and other environmental costs could be reduced, thus providing a more comfortable place for your employees and lower energy costs.
    4. D. TC Ceramic will add very little weight to the roof as it is less than one-tenth of a pound per square foot.
  7. INSULATE DELIVERY VEHICLES - VANS AND TRAILERS:
    1. Cut the solar heat through the roofs of your equipment by as much as an average of 20 to 50 degrees, depending upon multiple variables.
    2. In air conditioned/refrigeration/freezer trailers, the reduction of the heat through the roof will reduce the energy/fuel requirements, thus lowering operating costs and lowering refrigeration/freezer unit maintenance costs. (Tests show a 10% to 25% reduction in reefer fuel consumption and reefer run times.)
    3. By cutting the heat that penetrates the roof, the contraction and expansion of the roof will be reduced, thus reducing roof leakage and the costs of roof maintenance and damage to goods.
    4. By cutting the heat that penetrates the roof, damage or spoilage to heat sensitive products or equipment carried by you or your customers, will be reduced.
    5. Assists in sealing roofs, thus reducing roof leakage, the costs of roof maintenance and water damage to goods.
    6. Insulate the interiors of existing or new trailers with 30 to 40 mil of TC Ceramic on the ceiling and walls or doors to protect temperature sensitive products (hot or cold - in summer or winter) without losing any interior space, but where refrigeration is not justified, but constant temperature is desired.
    7. Insulate the underside of the trailers from excessive road heat with 30 to 40 mil of TC Ceramic, thus cutting down on road heat damage to goods
