Challenge
Карлос руководил высокопроизводительным предприятием по переработке шпината, морковной стружки и свекольных кубиков для розничных сетей Южной Америки. Ручные пузырьковые баки оставляли остатки почвы на листовой зелени, потребление воды было высоким, и операторы тратили часы на очистку фильтров.

Решение
We installed a 12-meter Vortex Vegetable Processing Line with a three-stage water filtration loop, variable-frequency drives, and an air-knife dewatering module.

Results (first 90 days):

• Yield loss down 2.8% (less leaf bruising vs. old agitator tanks)
• Water consumption cut 38% thanks to recirculation and automatic purge control
• Labor on washing section reduced by 4 operators/shift (reallocated to packing)
• Microbial count on finished greens dropped by 1 log on average (verified by third-party lab)
• Changeover time between spinach and carrot lines fell from 35 min to 12 min with CIP-ready tanks

“The vortex wash gave us the clean we wanted without tearing delicate leaves. We finally stopped arguing about water bills.” — Carlos, Plant Director
