SUMMARY:Poultry house air filtration: Success is measured by flock health and performance
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nFlock health starts with the air birds breathe. Join this exclusive webinar on poultry house air filtration to learn how air quality directly influences performance\, consistency\, and day-to-day outcomes inside the house. Todd Heisterkamp and Perry Hartmann\, Parker agricultural air filtration experts\, share field-tested insights from commercial poultry operations\, with practical guidance\, proven use cases\, and clear criteria for selecting filtration systems aligned with production goals. Gain a stronger understanding of how filtration improves air quality by removing dust\, odors\, and airborne debris\, and why lower particulate exposure reduces respiratory stress across the flock. Attendees will also learn how limiting airborne contaminants reduces disease pressure while supporting safer\, more comfortable working conditions for crews and stronger overall house performance. Give your operation practical insight to protect flock health and strengthen performance where air quality matters most. \nThis webinar will broadcast at 9:00 AM CST (Chicago) / 3:00 PM GMT (London) / 11:00 PM CST (Beijing). \nWHAT YOU’LL LEARN: \n\nHow air filtration connects directly to flock performance. See how air quality influences respiratory health\, feed efficiency\, and livability\, which directly impacts production outcomes.\nHow to evaluate filtration systems for poultry houses. Learn which performance factors matter most\, including airflow\, system reliability\, and fit within existing house designs.\nHow producers apply filtration in real operations. See real-world examples of how filtration decisions support biosecurity and long-term flock health.\n\nThis webinar is sponsored by Parker HVAC Filtration and presented by WATTPoultry.

SUMMARY:Don't Compromise Energy Efficiency for the Sake of Air Quality
DESCRIPTION:Register for the webinar here \nFrom Kaeser Compressors: \nCompressed air quality has a major impact on productivity in food processing applications and may also be a factor for food safety. It’s generally well understood that filtering and drying compressed air is vital to the proper function of pneumatic tools and equipment. Clean\, dry air increases equipment life and reduces downtime. On the other hand\, over-treating compressed air results in unnecessary pressure drop and higher energy costs. Strategies for properly selecting and correctly sizing compressed air dryers\, piping\, and filters are essential for reducing scrap and optimizing product costs. \nCompressed air experts Neil Mehltretter and Werner Rauer cover best practices for air treatment\, including:  \n• Determining air quality needed for an application \n• Understanding how component selection impacts energy efficiency \n• Building an effective and efficient compressed air system \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Centralized Production Kitchens & Their Equipment Needs
DESCRIPTION:DC Norris North America President\, Dick Smith aims to help food businesses explore centralized production kitchens as a creative way to offset rising labor costs and continuing labor shortages. The free event takes place on 04/30/21 at 11:00 am EST. \nTRAVERSE CITY\, Mich. – April 26\, 2021 – PRLog — The global COVID 19 pandemic\, coupled with rising labor costs has left foodservice\, restaurant groups\, hospitality businesses\, and food manufacturers seeking creative solutions to build sustainable business futures. Many are turning to centralized production kitchens as an efficient way to overcome these challenges and are seeing a variety of additional benefits from increased operational efficiency to improved finished product quality and consistency. \nCentral production kitchens suit many foodservice businesses\, hospitality groups and multi-unit restaurants by providing a central location for the commercial production of meal components and/or completed dishes. Those finished products are then distributed to and served at other locations. \nDick Smith\, President of DC Norris North America remarked “As part of DC Norris’ 50th Anniversary celebration\, we’ve been rolling out new processing machinery that is ideally suited to central production kitchens. Businesses that hadn’t previously considered centralized production kitchens are now seeking them out as a way to overcome some of the labor challenges they’re facing. There’s a lot of planning involved and a lot of business owners are filled with questions. This Q&A style Zoom meetup to discuss the topic is a great way for those business owners to get some answers\, discuss the topic with peers around the country\, and begin deciding whether or not this seems like a suitable option to pursue.” \nThe Zoom meetup is on 04/30/21 at 11:00am EST. There is no fee for attending but registration is required. Owners and operations team members are encouraged to attend.
