The Issue
Project Innovation
The purpose of this project is to replace existing inefficient rotary coil hot breaks with high-efficiency vertical hot breaks at the recipient's tomato processing facility. The hot breaks will use waste steam to preserve the tomatoes, reducing the facility's steam needs and consequently natural gas consumption. Natural gas consumption will be measured before and after installation to verify project benefits.
