  • Did a little research on this thing. Its capacity is 1900 g-tons, meaning that it can take a payload of 1000 kg (one metric ton) and spin it to apply 1900 G’s.

    Is 1 ton it’s weight limit? Dunno.

    Is it limited to 1900 G? Dunno.

    The “compressing space time” statement is just poor journalism. They’re referring to the fact that they can perform accelerated testing because of the higher limits. Basically, a test might take 2 days instead of 10 because it can go harder. Yes, it’s that stupid.
















  • I have to concede that my experience is entirely a way-too-small sampling of the entire industry, so it’s entirely possible you are right here. However, in my experience, the factories that I’ve been to (granted, not ALL of them) have been incredibly clean and well-maintained and follow very strict guidelines for making sure their product is safe. Obviously, the consequences of delivering a product that is not safe are quite dire (noting the Boar’s Head example and the recent ByHeart recall).

    On that note, I never visited the Boar’s Head facility, but one of our customer service reps did and they said it was downright nasty. No wonder they got infected.

    By the way, listeria contamination is probably the WORST thing that happen to a food-producing factory. This bacteria is incredibly dangerous and very, very hard to get rid of once detected. I’ve known factories that decided to relocate rather than try to deal with an outbreak.
