The most common challenges we face in the manufacturing industry are to reduce downtime and reduce MRO spend. So, where do we start?

In the past few years, food manufacturers and regulators have become more and more vigilant for environmental pathogens with issues triggering swab-a-thons and, in the worst-case scenario, product recalls. A robust sanitation system can help protect your plant and your consumers.

When deciding between fluid-driven and electromechanical linear actuators, close consideration of long-term benefits to the intended end user can help original equipment manufacturer (OEM) system designers maximize both product value and return on investment (ROI).

Properly functioning cooling tubes are critical to keeping transformers from overheating. Transformers are especially susceptible to overheating because as they step up or step down voltage levels between circuits, energy is lost as heat in the core and windings. That heat can build up damaging insulation and leading to transformer failure.

A safe and easy way to ensure that cooling tubes are effectively dissipating that heat is to inspect them using a thermal camera.

CBT is excited to announce we are now an authorized HOFFMAN On Demand distributor, supplying the product you need when your business demands it.

When the CARES act was passed on March 27^th of this year it opened up the possibility for lighting upgrades to be 100% written off in the year installed, meaning that the federal government would be subsidizing any improvement by the amount of the companies federal tax rate.

Two local food processing plants were experiencing high bearing failure rates due to high temperatures, high pressure, and caustic washdown. We replaced their outdated bearings with the new IP69k rated Food Safe Bearings from CBT partner, ABB Dodge which led to a reduction in downtime and maintenance costs.

Essential services are running at capacity, pushing their systems more than ever before. It is critical to the success of these services that systems and equipment are reliable.
