Food produce providers now need to take the entire process of harvesting to processing to storage to transport all into consideration as the retail food trends of "farm to plate" are now ingrained within not only consumers mind sets, supermarkets, but also pop culture and fast food options.

T'was the month before Christmas...

We've all heard the tale before. 

T'was the month before Christmas, all the machines are stirring,
With production increasing, and stock levels surging.
But summer was coming, and the machines got too hot,
It fizzled and slowed, production was stopped! 
But have no fear, no need to get nervous,
Now is the time to give it a service. 
If you can't afford downtime, and need it to work,
Then pick up the phone, you need to  call Heuch!

All cool rooms and freezers use evaporators or coolers to help regulate temperature inside the room. 

When people and equipment enter and exit a room they let varying amounts of ambient air into the space which needs to be brought back down to the regulated temperature. This air generally contains a significantly higher level of water vapour than the room. The water vapour or moisture in the air is naturally drawn to the coldest element in the room which just happens to be the fin and tube surfaces within the evaporator.
