By exposing foods to pressures from 50,000 psi to over 100,000 psi, UHP achieves the effects of pasteurization without heat. Not only are spoilage microorganisms destroyed, the process also destroys harmful pathogens such as E. coli, listeria, and salmonella, thus ensuring a safe product with an extended shelf life. The Company anticipates doubling this total in fiscal 2001 and again in both fiscal 2002 and 2003.
FLOW seeks to position waterjets as the machine technology of the future.
The waterjet has several advantages over competing technologies including, the number of different types of products it can cut, the lack of secondary processing after the cut and the edge quality of the cut. The waterjet is becoming the tool of choice for industrial cutting and cleaning applications. FLOW operates from 6 domestic and 9 international locations, including Canada, China, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, Sweden and the United Kingdom. FLOW has six ISO 9000 certified operations. FLOW has grown through new product development, increased market penetration, development of new applications, and acquisition of new business and product lines.
