Citrus Processing Maintenance Pain Points

Florida's Natural processes 11 million pounds of citrus daily at Lake Wales, storing NFC juice in refrigerated tanks before Umatilla packaging. Legacy systems struggle with high-volume extraction, refrigeration, and compliance for B2B foodservice delivery.

Juice Extractor Breakdowns

High-speed extractors handling 11M lbs/day face frequent wear from citrus pulp and acids, causing production halts. Manual logging delays repairs in your Lake Wales plant. Unplanned downtime risks spoilage in refrigerated NFC tanks.

  • **Mobilize** work orders instantly from mobile devices
  • **Automate** PM schedules for extractor fleets
  • **Predict** failures with asset usage tracking

Refrigerated Tank Failures

On-site refrigerated tanks storing not-from-concentrate juice are prone to compressor issues in Florida heat. Paper-based checks miss early leaks or temp fluctuations. This threatens product quality for Umatilla transfer.

  • **Automate** temperature sensor alerts
  • **Predict** refrigeration cycle wear
  • **Track** tank compliance history digitally

Citrus Conveyor Jams

Conveyors moving millions of pounds of fruit daily clog with debris, halting Lake Wales throughput. Spreadsheet tracking fails to prioritize urgent fixes. Delays cascade to packaging deadlines.

  • **Mobilize** technician teams to jam sites
  • **Automate** cleaning PM reminders
  • **Predict** belt tension degradation

Pasteurization Line Downtime

Pasteurizers for B2B juice must maintain exact temps, but valve failures disrupt Umatilla runs. Legacy logs bury root causes amid 880-employee operations. FDA audits expose gaps.

  • **Automate** valve inspection workflows
  • **Track** pasteurization run data
  • **Predict** seal wear from cycles

Bottling Filler Malfunctions

Umatilla packaging fillers jam under high-volume citrus demands for hospitality clients. Manual parts inventory leads to extended stops. Co-op growers expect reliable output.

  • **Mobilize** parts inventory lookups
  • **Automate** filler calibration schedules
  • **Predict** nozzle clog patterns

NFC Storage Pump Leaks

Pumps transferring refrigerated NFC juice leak under constant pressure, risking contamination. No centralized history slows diagnostics at your two plants. Compliance suffers.

  • **Track** pump runtime analytics
  • **Automate** leak detection inspections
  • **Predict** seal replacement needs
