CPD Training – Penmann’s industry leading air handling expertise

Penmann - air handling presentation to team at Protolan

Our Sales and Marketing Director, John Kirwin, recently presented to the team at Protolan on the fundamentals of air handling systems, their design and installation, which are so crucial for the Food and Drink industry. This forms a part of his ongoing CPD training.

CPD is vital to knowledge sharing, personal development and improvement. Preparing this presentation reinforced the fact that we are industry leaders with a depth of expertise and technical excellence in air handling that runs at the heart of everything we do at Penmann.

Quick Synopsis:

Air Handling: Why do we have or need it?

1.            To protect product and processes

  • Positive pressure to prevent ingress of contamination
  • Maintain the low temp chill chain to protect product
  • Maintain product conditions i.e. moisture levels
  • Remove internal contamination

2.            Protect personnel and building fabric

  • Provide acceptable working conditions
  • Remove corrosive elements to protect fabric e.g. steam
  • Prevent condensation and cross contamination risks
  • Remove internal contamination i.e. Covid 19
  • Fresh air for operatives

So many highly successful solution examples to illustrate Penmann’s expertise too. Can we work together going forward? Contact us if you’d like a presentation, individually or as a team.

Testimonials

“This project was my first experience of working with Penmann and I found them to be extremely knowledgeable and flexible, particularly at design stage. The project delivery was very good with great attention to detail paid to the design, overseen by an exceptional project management team. The build quality was excellent. We would certainly use Penmann again on future projects”.

James Clayton, Engineering Services Manager, Hotel Chocolat

We have worked with Penmann on projects across all our UK sites. Their attention to detail is evident throughout each project.

The phrase ‘Turnkey Solution’ is used extensively in projects, but never has it been better suited than for describing a project by Penmann.

Tom Mitson, Lantmännen Unibake

We are very happy with the cooling tunnels designed and supplied by Penmann. All projects have been undertaken in an extremely efficient manner and have been delivered on time and on budget, and we have been particularly pleased with the performance of the tunnels.

Stephen Graves Factory Engineering Manager, Müller Dairy

We found Penmann to have an excellent understanding not only of air conditioning and refrigeration but also of the production process and the logistics that surround it. All timescales were achieved and the systems are working well. I would have no hesitation in recommending Penmann to others.
