Allpax Products provides an energy and sustainability room retort audit program for petfood manufacturers. The company says its audit service identifies improvements for lowering energy costs, minimizing water waste, enhancing productivity and assures conformance to US Food and Drug Administration guidelines. The audit examines the overall consumption of steam, the process for venting steam, the amount of water consumed in cooling, and the overall effectiveness of manual and automated controls. Auditors also evaluate potential safety hazards from corrosion as well as the wear on hard-to-replace parts such as hinges, handles and baskets.
