Production lines contain many sub-systems that must work together as an integrated system. This book focuses on the crucial but frequently forgotten parts of systems that comprise the essential peripherals or services, including pumps, boilers, power transmission, water treatment, waste disposal, and efficient lighting.

Food Plant Engineering Systems addresses the importance of the ancillary equipment that allows the plant to operate and experience optimal performance.

In clear, easy to understand language, this book details from beginning to end the important areas that keep systems operating and running. It discusses topics such as:

• Properties of fluid
• Pumps and piping
• Electrical systems including motors, starters, electrical heating and lights
• Steam gneration and heating systems
