This consisted of large quantities of light wall stainless steel food grade piping, heat exchangers and exact temperature control, pumps and CIP systems, thousands of flow and temperature instruments, epoxy coatings, and mass power distribution from 15kv to low voltage. This project was designed and built by Gracon subsidiary, Dahlgren Industrial.
