Corrective action and preventive for action determining the proper disposal of problems by identifying the root cause of problem and taking preventive action against its recurrence. investigative process to prevent (CAPA) is an it Two approach for implementing CAPA is corrective action and preventive action, both of which deals with long term goal of achieving problem free process. Once a problem is detected, before going for long term solution it is important to address immediately. For which comes the problem correction rework, or repair, adjustment and relates to the disposition of an existing nonconformity. involves that Purpose of CAPA is to take appropriate, effective, and comprehensive corrective and/or preventive actions. CAPA helps in identify and investigate existing and potential product and quality problems. It works by collecting and analyzing information based on appropriate statistical methodology as necessary to detect recurring quality problems. CAPA ensures that problems are detected and resolved without its recurrence. It is also linked to various other requirements such as complaint product, acceptance activities, servicing, audits, reports of correction and removal (recall). CAPA is a way to improve the processes by taking a series of actions that eliminate the recurring events and causes of non-conformities. non-conforming files, Corrective Action: Initiation of systematic set of activities as soon as problem is communicated. It involves describing of problem so as to reach the root cause of problem. It is a long term approach which generally comes up after studying which tells more specifically about the root cause of problem. It is important to validate and verify the corrective action. Preventive Action: Preventive action recognizes the value of the information and actions taken during the corrective action function. Once a root cause has been physically described, it is easy to in system, policies, define the problem being procedures or in any other step. PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.

In simpler terms, it is a machine that extracts air the atmosphere and compresses it into a holding chamber. The energy contained in the compressed air can be used for a variety of applications. Pressure gauge, safety valve is used for monitoring & assuring the safe operation. from Components of Air Compressor Cylinder Head: The cylinder head consists of pockets for holding the intake/suction and delivery valves. They also have air cooling fins or water jacket for cooling water passage. There are usually and for network of pipes compressed air delivery to the next successive stage. cooling water Piston and Cylinder wall: The piston moves inside the cylinder wall or the liner, reciprocating up and down. The liner supports and guides the piston, forming a main part of the air compression chamber. Intercooler and After cooler: The intercoolers and the after coolers are usually mounted on the body of the hot compressed air to exchange its heat with the forced circulation water. Some air compressors are cooled by forced circulation of ambient air itself. compressor allowing the Suction Filter: Filter is usually mounted onto the cylinder head allowing to enter compressor unit. filtered air Engine: Air atmospheric increasing its pressure. is air, compressed by pulling its reducing volume in and Storage Tank: Storage tank is used to hold the pressurized air & it releases the air as per requirement. Inlet and Outlet Valve: Inlet valve allows air into the machine to be compressed as the piston pushes upward and keeps the inlet valve shut, which in turn opens the discharge valve which allows the air taken in through the inlet to be compressed.

Valve head helps in sucking the air in from atmosphere due to the movement of piston in cylinder in downward direction 2. While piston moving up, the air get pressurized and air is compressed. 3. This increase in pressure forces the discharge valve to open leading to its movement into the storage tank. 4. Continuous movement of piston in upward and downward direction leads to increased pressure in the tank. 5. Motor shuts down once the pressure reaches the higher limit and starts working when the pressure reaches lower limit, making the cycle continuous. Types and Methods Method of air compression for air compressors are dynamic displacement and positive displacement. a. Reciprocating type-uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. It is of two type Single Stage/Single Acting- Air is drawn in and compressed on one side of the piston. In this case, the downward stroke of the piston draws in the air, and the upward stroke compresses it. Multi-Stage/Double Acting- It has compression chambers on both sides of the piston. On the down stroke, air is drawn in on the top of the piston while air is compressed on the bottom side. On the upstroke, air is drawn into the bottom side while air is compressed on the top side. b. Rotary air compressors: uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver gases at high pressure. It is of two type Root blower compressor: This is a positive displacement lobe pump that pumps fluid with a pair of meshing lobes. It consists of two rotors with lobes rotating in the air-tight casing. The casing has inlet and outlet parts on opposite sides. It is a type of gas Screw Compressor: rotary-type positive- compressor using a displacement mechanism. There are two meshing helical screws, known as rotors, to compress the gas. The meshing rotors force the gas through the compressor, and the gas exits at the end of the screws. c.Dynamic Centrifugal displacement: compressors and axial compressors are employed in such compressors. A rotating part imparts its kinetic energy to the air which is eventually converted into pressure energy. Axial air compressor: To produce large air flow, they have a set of fan blades. The axial compressors are largely used for ventilation and as part of air processing. Radial air compressor: They draw in air to the center of an impeller, and then accelerate it outward toward its perimeter. There it impinges upon a diffuser plate and outlet scroll, where velocity decreases and pressure increases. PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.

Almost all of the 20 percent solids are starch. Because an 8-ounce potato contains only 100 calories, all of that water significantly reduces the number of calories found in the carb. Growing 1 pound of potatoes requires approximately 34 gallons of water. Fact 2 Cucumbers contain approximately 95% water, the highest water content of any food.
