CATTS on show

 
After discussions with Keith Thornhill, head of Food and Beverage for Siemens, Keith put ZECK in touch with Professor Martin Howarth at the Sheffield Hallam University and they introduced his team to the new CATTS system and how it is a world-beating, energy saving solution for the problems in food manufacturing and process heating.
​
Impressed by ZECK's technology, NCEFE have agreed for ZECK to install their system in their pilot plant so that the industry can examine the system in action.  A chocolate recirculation system will be installed consisting of a small tank, 7 x process pipes 7 x CATTS systems and ancillary MicroLimpet units. The control will be via  Siemens touch screen and PLC.
​
Our Meson Automation partner has collaborated with ZECK to write the front-end software and commission the system for the demonstration.
