Introduction
Food processing plants rely on continuous electricity and mechanical functions to maintain the quality of products, the proper hygiene of the food, appropriate storage conditions, and adherence to delivery schedules. Food processing plants typically contain food processing lines, refrigeration systems (units), boilers, packaging machinery, control panels, programmable logic controllers (PLC's), sensors, conveyor systems, cold storage rooms, water treatment systems, and fire/safety systems.
Lightning strikes and power surges can cause damage to critical components of food processing plants, thereby interrupting production, compromising production safety, as well as creating production delays. In environments where food is processed, even the shortest time of not operating will negatively impact product quality, storage temperature, batch production, as well as meeting delivery commitments. Effective lightning protection systems can help reduce these risks by implementing appropriate lightning protection measures, surge protection measures, earthing and grounding systems.
