Maintaining Optimal Temperature Control in Machinery and Production Line Facilities
In the manufacturing and processing industry, it’s vital to provide safe and comfortable indoor temperatures to ensure product safety, worker productivity, and operational efficiency, keeping the bottom line protected and guaranteed. By investing in the right portable climate control solutions, executives in the manufacturing and processing industry can be prepared to tackle any challenge related to cooling, heating, or dehumidifying large industrial spaces.
How Does Temperature Control Impact Worker Productivity?
In short, keeping temperatures cool prevents overheated machinery and minimizes worker downtime. In fact, studies show a direct correlation between productivity, absenteeism and temperatures – as temperatures rise, productivity decreases and absenteeism increases, especially in labor-intensive industries like manufacturing and processing. Reduced productivity and absenteeism leads to decreased output, but this can be prevented by using portable cooling solutions and implementing other climate control measures.
A quarterly report from the National Weather Service shows a majority of the U.S. will experience above-normal heat from the end of summer through the fall. Large swaths of the Great Plains and the West will experience below-normal rainfall, while much of the Southeast and East Coast will experience above-normal rainfall. These precipitation changes, in combination with increased heat, will lead to more drought or more humidity.
With weather trends pointing to warmer, hotter temperatures and a drier climate, labor-intensive industries must take steps now to protect worker productivity and ensure a positive manufacturing and processing output.
Assess Temperature Control Needs for Your Facility
When it comes to evaluating needs for industrial climate control, it’s important to take careful steps to consider all factors that are contributing to temperature changes. Here are a few key factors to consider:
- Machinery Heat Output: Different types of equipment may or may not produce heat, contributing to worker downtime. Heat-causing machinery, like injection molders or industrial ovens, require intense cooling to maintain safe, productive operating conditions.
- Plant Floor Plan: The floor plan and layout of the facility will determine the most effective temperature control strategies. Take into account ceiling height, room size, and equipment positioning to determine the best solution.
- Weather Impacts: External temperatures can affect internal climate conditions, especially in facilities with large exterior doors or poor insulation. Regularly assess seasonal weather conditions to ensure the facility’s climate control system can handle peak temperatures and rainfall.
Select the Right HVAC Solutions
There’s a variety of HVAC solutions on the market, but there are specific units that are primed to handle industrial applications.
Portable Air Conditioners
Air conditioners and spot coolers are designed for quick and easy setup, allowing industries to respond swiftly to changing climate control needs without extensive downtime. Because these portable units consume less energy than full HVAC systems, it’s also a cost-effective solution for temporary moments of intense heat. With built-in wheels and compact designs of various cooling outputs, these units are equipped to tackle various cooling challenges throughout the facility.
Evaporative Coolers
Designed to handle the rigorous demands of industrial settings, evaporative coolers provide powerful airflow to maintain comfortable working conditions even in vast, high-heat environments. These units use the combined power of water and moving air flow to provide cooling and circulation in hard-to-cool areas. With energy-efficient motors, aerodynamic blade designs, and smart water use, evaporative coolers maximize airflow while minimizing energy consumption.
