Takeaway:
Discover how LuminUltra’s BugCount® Guardian helped a prominent beverage production and bottling facility in North America realize the potential for over $200,000 in recovered revenue.
What’s inside:
A brewing facility in North America operates a large, state-of-the-art beverage production and bottling plant. The plant utilizes tunnel-style pasteurizers for microbial control of canned beverages ensuring product stability and safety. Elevated microbial levels in the pasteurizer can cause inefficient pasteurization leading to unscheduled production shut-downs, boil-outs or odors on the finished cans that cost production time and lost revenue.
A trial was initiated with LuminUltra’s BugCount® Guardian, an online ATP analyzer, which automates the sample collection, testing and reporting of microbiological levels in the pasteurizer.
On three occasions the Guardian data trend demonstrated a consistent increase in ATP; this ATP trend led to swift remedial action through biocide additions which brought the microbial contamination event under control with no loss in production.
