Food & Drinks Contingency Solutions
Planning a Head, will enable you to avoid Disasters to your Food and Drinks Production.
Process Cooling actually accelerates production in Food & Beverage manufacturing. The soft drinks Industry requires cooling in fizzy drink manufacture. The fizz is carbon dioxide, which gets injected prior to packaging, if the solution were not cooled prior to this the CO2 would simply “boil off” and frothing would occur rendering the product unsuitable for sale.

Precise cooling is often a key factor in meeting strict industry standards for the storage, processing and distribution of both alcoholic and soft drinks around the world
You should aim to cool foods to below 8 °C before placing into the fridge for storage. Putting foods that are above this temperature into the chiller or freezer raise the storage temperature inside, meaning surrounding foods also warm up. Increasing the likelihood of potential harmful bacteria and enabling it to multiply. This is especially relevant, where food is blanched before freezing.
The process of “maturation” of beef is between 10 and 30 days. Following slaughter animals remain in cold storage. The cooling process needed to commercialize the meat is increased progressively from the second day of the animal’s death up to 30 days where butchery usually takes place

We’d love to hear from you.
An industrial chiller is a refrigeration device used to lower the temperature of drinks and beverages during the manufacture process by removing heat and transferring it, normally to atmosphere outside the building
Winery chillers, like beverage manufacturing chillers produce low-temperature fluids suited for applications between -6 and +4*C The most common types of chillers used in wineries are known as glycol chillers.
The process of manufacturing food requires vast amounts of cooling, from room temperature control in meat butchery, to safe storage and distribution to the consumer, both Air cooled chillers and water-cooled chillers with water cooling tower provide this solution to the sector.
Moisture carryover from cooling coils refers to the entrainment of water into the air delivery, because of high coil face velocity combined with dirty coil surfaces.

Working with food processing factories and distributers, we have cooled milk, provided cool air in biscuit cooling tunnels. Our temporary Chillers have been used to cool air handlers’ coils providing chilled air into raw meat stores and blast chillers. We’ve cooled down glass from an eye watering 560*C where it begins to relax, by contract we’ve even cooled salad ensuring the extra crunch in the supermarket! Fruit and vegetables that’ve been chilled last much longer on the shelf and make up just a small selection of the projects and services we offer.

Emergency hire requires an immediate response, when a critical operation is interrupted due to a chiller breakdown. Manufacturing and process chillers are vital to the life blood of production uptime so here at Rapid we mould our company function and supply chain to aid that necessity when you face it., HVAC requirement will undoubtedly vary but emergency chiller hire is proven to minimise downtime keeping your operation moving and limiting the impact following a disaster or serious breakdown.
In an emergency, you need a fast and expert service hopefully you have a contingency plan outlining the fastest and safest way to recover. Regardless if you don’t, our team of specialist can survey your site, arrange a quote and if possible same day delivery.
Here at Rapid we acknowledge that a breakdown constitutes an emergency, and these often take place out of hours, we should still be able to deliver, install and commission although we can’t always instead promise our best endeavour.
With our years of experience, we have responded to many emergencies rental enquiries across the UK and served many different sectors including industrial, manufacturing, petrochemical and pharmaceutical, we’ve even supported data centre managers in maintaining critical temperatures in data centres where HVAC applications have let them down. We understand downtime is critical and often very costly and promise to partner with you to provide the best hire solution for your business in the fastest possible time.
Challenge your management systems – heavy industrial sites often have varied shutdown procedures and contingency plan standardising your approach to the challenge of shutting down and restarting safely a must if you are to achieve shutdown excellence – ie stable, predictable processes to drive improvement, efficiency and resilience.
Manage your critical path – we always find that evaluating critical path tasks for improvement opportunities never fail to deliver value. This includes ensuring near critical path tasks are identified and communicated within your workgroups, so they understand how close they are to moving on to the critical path if delays occur and what action to take if you are not available.
Engage senior management in decisions that may offer improvements and seek engagement from suppliers familiar with recovery following an emergency shutdown – it’s essential senior management are across the development process and have visibility of progress and the benefits of hire applications and their part in ordering enabling works that can dramatically reduce the amount of time to install and commission a temporary chiller or boiler.
Dedicated discipline – a great management framework will always fail if there is a lack of discipline around process compliance. Particularly due to the intensity noted earlier, shutdowns demand discipline to ensure initiation, planning and scheduling are delivered to the required standards at the required times.
Embed business improvement techniques – from advanced work scoping to quick changeover techniques, there is plenty of gain to be found in applying known, proven improvement techniques.
Track process, not just readiness – shutdowns generally measure readiness, but we highly recommend visually tracking all process milestones – the end-to-end process. This includes the effective close-out and capture of learnings for ongoing improvement.
Use your data – shutdown development generates huge volumes of data. Don’t miss the opportunity to use that data to ensure performance hurdles are managed and, more broadly, to predict the likelihood of success.
Ultimately be prepared financially too, as a business you will need to pay for the services rendered in an emergency and the permanent solution there after so its important to ensure that the project to restore and protect you after a serious breakdown should always be known.
