Taylor Farms Improves the Stability and Efficiency of Its Vegetable Washing System Through Automatic Filtration in Desert Conditions

Taylor Farms

 

Business Partner Name: SOA WATER

At the Taylor Farms plant in Mexicali, which processes and washes fresh vegetables, the high solids content in the raw water—exacerbated by dust and the desert conditions in the area—was causing recurring clogging in the upstream filtration stages.

This had a direct impact on the stability of operations, leading to unplanned shutdowns and increased consumption of supplies, in an environment where production continuity and food safety are critical.

 

 

 

 

 

The Challenge

 

Several key operational needs were identified at the facility:

  • High consumption of water and supplies (microfiltration cartridges).
  • Limitations due to outdoor installation (exposure to the elements).
  • The need to reduce maintenance work.
  • Optimization of the overall performance of the filtration system.

These conditions led to an increase in OPEX and reduced efficiency of the treatment system.

 

The Solution

 

A solution based on AZUD HELIX AUTOMATIC Automatic Filtration System, designed to protect the filtration media and reduce operating consumption.

  • Filtration to 100 microns as a preliminary protective measure.
  • Direct protection of the Katalox filtration media.
  • Reduction of the solids load prior to critical process stages.
  • Designed for outdoor installation.

 

Benefits of the Solution

 

  • Reduction in OPEX associated with consumables (microfiltration cartridges).
  • Increased efficiency of the Katalox filtration media.
  • Longer service life of the downstream filtration system.
  • Reduction in maintenance work.
  • Operational stability under outdoor conditions.
  • Improvement in the overall performance of the water treatment system.
  • Reduction in water consumption associated with cleaning and replacements.
