The first of its kind to address the ancillary equipment that allows processing lines in food production to operate, this book offers a comprehensive look at food plant operations. With clear, easy-to-understand language, this book details the bits and pieces that keep systems running and explains how they fit within the bigger picture. Each engineering system is discussed, with a focus on lean principles, sustainability, and the balancing of resources, environmental impact, and conservation of natural resources. There is also a focus on communication within a manufacturing plant. A website with student and teacher materials is included, upon purchase.
