Growing
Interest for Porous Metal
in Food
and Beverage Operations
FARMINGTON,
CT (October 2006) – Mott
is helping to streamline food and
beverage processing plant production
through the integration of porous
metal products. Working in
conjunction with many major operations,
Mott experts have engineered solutions
that range from sparging to maintain
product freshness, to gas sampling
equipment used to protect sensitive
monitoring equipment in the plant.
Porous metal
components are being used in
a wide variety of plant applications. It is used
in food bulking and debulking,
carbonation, filtration, aeration,
oil hydrogenation, fermentation,
floatation, steam injection and
oxygen stripping. It has
also been used to create dimensional
vacuum molds to create specific ‘shapes’ from
slurries and batters such as cookie,
candy, chicken and fish. Mott’s
porous metal spargers are used
in bagging operations in the snack
food industry by blowing open bags
with nitrogen, preparing them for
filling and keeping out oxygen
to extend the product shelf life. Porous
metal is also used in filtration
systems used in oil hydrogenation
to recover expensive catalysts
(virtually 100%) with a minimum
of product loss.
The applications
are endless and are all aimed
at producing a top quality product
that stays fresher, longer. Not only are there
concerns in the industry about
freshness of products, but environmental
standards for processing plants
are getting more stringent every
year. In plants stacks, porous
metal filters can be used to collect
clean in-process samples from particle-laden
streams, thus eliminating damage
to sensitive monitoring equipment
used to ensure health and safety
of stack emissions.
Mott’s porous metal media
has the distinct advantages of
uniform and high-precision porosity,
strength and durability, more effective
filtration capability, resistance
to corrosion, tolerance of high
temperatures and pressures, and
cleanability. Those are the
reasons Plant Engineers and Process
Development Managers are looking
to Mott to help change dated processing
operations into more efficient
and productive production.
Mott Corporation
has been dedicated to the development,
application and refinement of
porous metal media since 1959.
The Company’s
design teams are continually engineering
porous metal components, sub-assemblies
and finished products for applications
in a wide variety of industries,
including food and beverage, medical,
pharmaceutical, chemical, petrochemical,
instrumentation, environmental,
semiconductor, energy and fuel
cells. And, no other media
offers the level of integrity necessary
for repeated cleaning and re-use
that porous metal provides.
