Built for Citrus Processing Realities

Your Tampa operations handle bulk juice extraction for hospitality and food sectors amid greening disease pressures and weather volatility. Without detected CMMS, reactive maintenance disrupts high-volume lines supplying restaurants and processors.

Juice Extractors & Reamers

High-speed extractors face pulp buildup and blade wear from Valencia and Hamlin oranges, causing yield losses. Greening-impacted fruit accelerates failures during peak season. Manual logs fail to predict breakdowns in your bulk processing runs.

  • Digitize extractor PM schedules
  • Track blade wear with mobile alerts
  • Log pulp residue for yield analytics

Evaporators & Condensers

Thermal evaporators struggle with scaling from Florida's variable citrus Brix levels, risking concentrate quality. Bulk runs for hospitality demand 24/7 uptime. Paper checklists can't flag efficiency drops early.

  • Automate evaporator clean-in-place
  • Monitor condenser temps remotely
  • Generate Brix compliance reports

Pasteurizers & HTST Systems

HTST pasteurizers for packaged juices face tube fouling and sensor drift, threatening food safety for restaurant supply. Tampa heat stresses cooling systems. Spreadsheets delay audit readiness.

  • Schedule HTST valve inspections
  • Alert on pasteurization deviations
  • Streamline FDA audit trails

Bulk Storage Tanks

Large tanks for not-from-concentrate juice risk contamination from Florida humidity and hurricane-season leaks. Bulk exports to processors halt on seal failures. No centralized asset history slows root cause analysis.

  • Track tank seal inspections
  • Log temperature excursions
  • Prioritize hurricane prep work

Filling & Aseptic Lines

Aseptic fillers for hospitality pouches jam on pulp variability, cutting throughput. Mid-market scale demands zero defects. Reactive repairs cascade to shipping delays.

  • Mobilize filler line checklists
  • Capture jam frequency data
  • Assign parts to pouch runs

Pulp & Peel Processing

Pulp separators and peel dryers overload during heavy crop inlets, wasting co-products. Weather-hit yields strain equipment. Manual PMs miss synergies with juice lines.

  • Optimize pulp screen rotations
  • Monitor dryer belt tensions
  • Link to extractor maintenance

From Citrus Downtime to Predictive Uptime

UpKeep's AI-powered maintenance platform transforms Florida Citrus Juices' Tampa operations from reactive fixes to predictive precision. Mobile-first work orders cut unplanned stops by 37% across extractors and fillers, while asset intelligence ensures compliance for bulk hospitality supply.
