Product Recovery

The In-Site system provide significantly more detail and information than standard data logging systems. It is the ability to configure parts of the system to 'identify' specific aspects that enable In-Site to be so effective in tracking product recovery.

Having the capability to monitor up to 10 separate analogue signals (e.g. turbidity, brix, conductivity, pH, temperature sensors) and up to 64 digital separate plant signals (recovery valves, drain, pumps, etc.), In-Site can report on all aspects of a Process system or CIP set. Being able to monitor numerous channels simultaneoulsy enables In-Site to 'capture' data across an entire site.

We have experience in tracking product routing in Dairies, Breweries, Juice Plants, Carbonated Drink plants and Food Processing Manufacturers, particular sauces (condiments).

It is the extensive capabilities of the In-Site system and our own experience and expertise in the Food Processing Industries that enable In-Site Control analysts to track product recovery sequences. Our knowledge and understanding enable us to to offer corrective solutions to capture valuable product that would have been discharged to waste/drain.

We not only identify where the plant sequencing is incorrect or in-effective, we can provide a complete service, including a re-write of the product recovery sequence within  the relevant software program to ensure effective product recovery and minimal wastage.

Possible consequences as a result of poor or ineffective Product Recovery sequences

Cost to freight off-site waste product tank contents, particularly if contents are mainly water rather than actual waste product

Foam = overflow, wasting water, heat and chemicals.

CIP systems contaminated with debris (trub, yeast, etc.) from brewery processing plant can cause obstructions within CIP spray balls.

Acidic products, such as pickle, sauces, etc. can reduce site effluent below pH consent level.

Contaminated CIP systems can degrade the detergent solution, possibly impairing its ability to clean properly, this poses a risk to Quality.

Soiled CIP systems may cause plant to be re-cleaned, reducing availability of process plant being 'returned' to production

and of course the Value of the 'lost' Product
