Consumers are driving more Food and Beverage (F&B) companies to adopt sustainable practices for their entire supply chain, from how the ingredients are grown to the disposal methods of the packaging. The Harvard Business Review reported in 2019 that 71% of consumers are actively buying more environmentally friendly products than they did five years before. And nowhere is that more prevalent than in F&B as consumers correlate their own food choices with environmental sustainability.

Whether you are expanding production at your current facility or building a new brewery, there are critical decisions to be made early in the project which will lay the groundwork for the future. This guide provides many of the considerations which are fundamental to the brewery construction, and which will set you up to succeed.

Automation and controls expert, Doug Cornwell, describes how to implement a Predictive Maintenance System which will significantly reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

The design and construction of a new food and beverage (F&B) processing plant is a complex undertaking. To do the best job possible, everyone involved must work to create the most efficient and reliable system while working within the constraints of budgets and timelines. With the pace of change today, versatility and adaptability are crucial features in a new processing system. The same must apply to the physical plant which will be built or renovated to house the process. The goal is to make the most of today’s most suitable technologies, while simultaneously anticipating tomorrow’s in-novations.

There are different design considerations for building a plant-based processing plant. Many plant-based foods—especially plant-based proteins—have substantially more ingredients than other foods. The material handling characteristics of those ingredients can vary widely from free flowing, to difficult, to cohesive. This whitepaper addresses what to do before building a new processing plant (or refurbishing an existing plant) and the unique challenges associated with processing plant-based foods.

Sonoma County has since attracted some of the best brewers in the industry and today, hundreds of thousands of tourists travel across the world to taste beer in wine country.

Every safety manager knows workplace safety is not something that happens by chance – it’s a serious commitment. This whitepaper outlines the criteria necessary for selecting a confined space rescue service and the insurance requirements. It also contains a confined space rescue permit plan template
