Soft Drink Production – South Africa
High-sensitivity measurements across multiple process points identified contamination hotspots missed by traditional HPC testing — root cause found within 1 day, ending recurring plant shutdowns.
The Challenge
Recurring microbiological contamination forced regular plant shutdowns, yet the root cause remained undetected using conventional testing methods. This resulted in repeated production losses and ongoing process instability.
The Solution
ColiMinder provides rapid, high-sensitivity measurements across multiple process points, delivering results within 15 minutes. This enabled fast identification of contamination hotspots that were showing a non-detect in traditional HPC testing.
Benefits
- Root cause identified within 1 day
- Reduced downtime
- Real-time process feedback
- Increased production safety
