Point-of-Use: Beef Feet
Point-of-Use: Beef Feet - Hydro-Thermal Corp. Flow Rate: 0-75 GPM [0-17 m3/hr] Inlet Temperature: 140°F [60°C] Discharge Temperature: 160°F [71°C] Water Pressure: 50 PSIG [3.4 barg] Steam Supply Pressure: 120 PSIG [8.3 barg] This large Midwest beef processing plant needed to maintain precise temperature control at a point-of- use hot water station for beef feet cleaning (a CCP - critical control point). As the final product is for human consumption, beef feet cleaning must reach and maintain proper temperature per USDA requirements. If 160°F [71°C] is not met, this will result in a loss of product, time, and energy. SOLUTIONHydro-Thermal® replaced (3) Emech mixing valves with an H2015 EZ SkidTM system dedicated to the beef feet point-of-use station. By adding this system, the plant
