EXCELLENCE
Springhill Farms is a vegetable grower based in the Vale of Evesham, UK. Part of
the business on-site activity is to receive vegetables from the field and prepare and
pack them for clients. This includes washing the produce to ensure it’s clean and
suitable for consumption.
High suspended solids in the their existing cleaning processes meant that cleaning
nozzles were regularly getting blocked, reducing productivity on site. The challenge
was to find a more efficient, economic, and environmentally sustainable way to
wash the produce and ensure that the machinery didn’t clog up with dirt.
Siltbuster looked to see how efficient our equipment would be in reducing the
suspended solids within the water, without using chemicals which might affect the
fresh produce. A sample was tested at our in-house laboratory, with positive results,
and a HB50M lamella settlement clarifier unit was connected to the washing plant
for a trial period.
Both companies worked closely together and the trial was a success. The positive
impact on reducing the suspended solids in the water, meant Springhill Farm could
start looking at recycling the clean water efficiently through their plant after the
final filtration. They were so impressed with the quality of the solution we provided
that they brought in a second unit, with complete confidence.
By working closely with Springhill Farms, Siltbuster was able to understand their
requirements and work with them to provide a successful outcome which saves
money, time and reduces environmental impact.
