McIlvaine Provides a Coronavirus Solution Bridge Between Suppliers and the Food Processing Industry
Food processors around the world employ millions of workers and generate trillions of dollars in annual sales. The U.S meat packing industry has reported over 10,000 coronavirus cases. At least 170 plants in 29 states have had one or more workers test positive for the coronavirus. Social distancing is not an option as shown by this poultry processing plant.
The initiative to install partitions and to choose masks less efficient than N95 will not be a solution. Instead a whole suite of control technologies with foot sanitizers, fan filter units, laminar air flow, N95 masks and other PPE will be the answer
McIlvaine is acting as a bridge between suppliers and food processors to help them understand their options and make the best decisions for their plants. Daily Alerts, interviews and webinars are part of the McIlvaine program. The daily Alerts have details on specific plant problems and solutions which are cost effective. They can be searched as per the example for “pork” below
