Kemco Partners with Cerris Systems to Design Systems for Sanitation in New Pork Processing Facility

Pork processing facility will be largest in the country at time of completion

Clearwater, Fla. – Kemco Systems has partnered with Cerris Systems to design and manufacture two water heater systems for installation in a new pork processing facility in Iowa. One heater system will be used for sanitation, and another will be used for process water in support of what will be the largest pork processing plant in the United States upon completion.

The sanitation water heating system is comprised of two 25MMBTU units with tank and process pumps, operating up to 900 gpm @ 150°F and the process water heating system consists of two 9MMBTU units with tank and process pumps, operating up to 240gpm @ 190˚F. Both systems heaters are mounted on top of the hot water tanks in a gravity setup and will have maintenance access platforms included for easy operator access to the heater combustion components.

Developing water heating systems for a plant that is under construction allows Kemco to design and build its products to fit with customer specifications and meet or exceed gpm requirements without the additional considerations and restrictions that can come with a retrofit or reinstallation at existing facilities.

“It is always a pleasure to provide a custom 68 MMBTU/hr high-efficiency hot water solution to meet a plant’s specific process needs,” said Cody Davis, Regional Sales Manager at Kemco Systems. “We’re also pleased to allow for maintenance access to the system for the many years of life of the equipment after commissioning.”

Kemco Systems has been active in the food processing industry since 1969 with focuses in both food sanitation and wastewater treatment at processing plants. Kemco’s equipment produces the hot water that keeps the processing lines safe and bacteria-free, and proper heater efficiency helps clients in their efforts to be environmentally responsible.

This pork processor is a long-time Kemco customer with hot water systems in use at their production facilities across the country.

“Cerris Systems is proud to partner with Kemco on a project of this scale,” said Bob Blaskovich, Vice President and General Manager of Cerris Systems – Des Moines. “Reliable sanitation and process water systems play a critical role in supporting safe, efficient operations. Through strong collaboration, we’re helping deliver a facility that is built for performance and long-term success from day one.”

Kemco prides itself on finding cost-effective, efficient and long-term solutions for its customers in the food processing industry. Kemco equipment produces the hot water that keeps the processing lines safe and bacteria-free. The company aims to help customers like Cerris Systems be responsible stewards of the environment and good neighbors to nearby communities and local utilities.
