Any other food/beverage plant guys here?

admin

Through all my browsing, I've only seen a few (maybe 5 or so) other guys post pictures or mention doing work for food/beverage processing plants. Anyone else involved in this industry? If so where at?

Reply:Nice to meet you! And thanks for checking out my box thread. Post up some pics of your work someone. If you can that is. I know how secretive the plants are.
Reply:2 people in this entire forum? I highly doubt that.

Reply:I worked at a cheese plant for five years, mostly stainless steel tig. Last two years at a fiberglass insulation plant. Much cleaner at the cheese plant other then a getting a occasional cheese or whey bath when taking pipes apart.
Reply:A cheese or a whey bath is part of the fun. Then you stink the rest of the day. It also makes for some good laughs when it " accidentally " happens to the new guy.
