In the world of electrical safety, enclosed breakers play a pivotal role. Imagine a robust fortress protecting your electrical circuits from the chaos of overloads and short circuits. That’s exactly what NOARK’s enclosed breakers do. These circuit breakers are housed within a protective enclosure, designed not just for functionality, but for maximum durability.
By Josiah Haas, President, Bud Industries – Sensitive electronic equipment is vulnerable to relentless attacks from the elements when deployed outdoors. Rain penetrates vulnerable circuits, dust clogs vents, UV radiation degrades plastic components, and temperature fluctuations stress delicate connections. Without adequate protection, expensive electronics that are designed to operate for years can fail within months, resulting in costly replacements, emergency repairs, and critical system downtime. This is where weatherproof enclosures become indispensable.
There are more plant-based food and beverage products on the market than ever before. Whether it’s oat milk or meat alternatives, the appetite for plant-based foods is bigger than it’s ever been, with 6 out of 10 U.S. households purchasing a plant-based food item in 2022. The plant-based food market totaled more than $8 billion in 2022, and industry experts project the popularity and demand for plant-based food products will continue to grow and eclipse $160 billion by 2030. This means food and beverage manufacturers from traditional meat titans like Tyson to meat-free pioneers like Impossible Foods are accelerating their plant-based production to meet demand and lead the charge in the plant-based space.
