Ready Foods keep their cool thanks to viscous solution from HRS

摘要

Ready Foods, a US manufacturer of soups and sauces, has cut the time it takes to chill one of its core products by a third, thanks to a turnkey cooling system from HRS Heat Exchangers. The HRS solution, which is ideal for viscous materials, has enabled Ready Foods to significantly increase production of the meat marinade it supplies to a leading restaurant chain. Based in Denver, Colorado, Ready Foods is a cook and chill company which manufactures soups and sauces for restaurants and the meat industry. After receiving a large order for one of its meat marinades from a leading chain of quick-service Mexican restaurants, the company needed to increase capacity. The existing process of kettle cooking and steaming the marinade, then chilling it in 5lb pouches in a water cooling system for three hours, would not allow Ready Foods to meet the customer's increased demand for 2,000lb totes. So, Marco Antonio Abarca, President and Owner of Ready Foods, and Greg Hefter. Plant Engineer, set out to find an alternative solution that would enable them to decrease the length of time it took to cool the marinade from 200℉ to 38℉ and thereby increase production levels.
