Every year since 1963, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners. More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs […]

Maintaining a food processing oven requires special tools to ensure the oven is operating at peak performance. Evaluating air flow and speed, finding air leaks, setting dampers, determining static pressures and gas burner settings, and calibrating probes are normal, sometimes every day, maintenance tasks that require specialized tools. Larger food processing companies likely already have […]
Commercial ovens, as with any food processing equipment, can pose serious safety hazards for employees. Burns, pinch points, crush points, cuts, chemical burns, carbon dioxide suffocation, or being trapped in an oven while in the cook cycle are all possible if proper care is not taken when operating a commercial smokehouse, dehydrator, or steam oven […]
A commercial smokehouse or dehydrator is a big investment — one that requires regular checks and maintenance to keep it running efficiently. An oven designed to provide easy access to the components that require regular and preventative maintenance will reduce the time your team needs to upkeep the oven. The less amount of time spent […]
A commercial smokehouse or dehydrator is a big investment — one that requires regular and ongoing maintenance to ensure a long oven life.

Platforms are an integral part of any food and beverage processing facility — providing access to equipment, safety egresses, employee walkways, and increasing manufacturing space. They are the best way to utilize limited space in a facility while optimizing work and traffic flow. Chances are you will need some kind of platform in your facility […]
The way trucks are loaded into a smokehouse or dehydrator greatly affects the creation and strength of the breakpoint — and can have a negative impact on the consistency of the product. Anytime you add an object, like a smokehouse truck, into the flow of air, you change the way that airstream moves. It will […]
Choosing the proper heat source for your product when purchasing a commercial smokehouse or dehydrator can be a daunting task. What are the differences between heat sources? Which works best for what you’re trying to achieve? What heat source is going to be easy to maintain and inexpensive to run? What is the price difference […]
Airflow is the most important feature of any industrial smokehouse or dehydrator. It’s the airflow that is ultimately responsible for creating the breakpoint that in turn cooks product in the oven. The better the airflow, the stronger the breakpoint, and the more consistently product will cook — resulting in better yields, better coloring, and better […]
