Here's what Some of our customers are saying

Tod Harter

The Morning Star Company

"I am a Food Technologist for The Morning Star Company; the World’s largest tomato processor, operating three facilities. Coming from a 5th generation California food and agriculture family, I have firsthand experience of our food processing industry’s intense harvesting and processing demands. During the summer the three tomato processing factories that I have the privilege to work at produce tomato products 24-hours a day for 80 to 100 consecutive days processing over 3,000,000-tons of fresh vine-ripened mechanically harvested tomatoes. 

Tomatoes transported from the farms are accompanied by MOT: Material Other than Tomatoes.  At the factories the harvested tomatoes are unloaded into large water flumes that are essential in the removal of the MOT to produce wholesome and safe tomato products meeting customers’ specifications. The priority is that the MOT must be removed in an environmentally friendly and cost effective manner. To accomplish this, the flume systems use evaporated water from the concentration of tomatoes as the primary source of water to conserve on ground water and energy. A key to the success for ground water and energy conservation is the treatment of the flumes using chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide when added to the flumes controls bio film, mold, yeast and prevents hydrogen sulfide bacteria activity. Due to the intense harvesting and processing demands, the three tomato facilities rely on a supplier that can provide 24/7 onsite generation of chlorine dioxide using the best available technology to treat the massive flumes.

The supplier that The Morning Star Company relies on is Western Pride/Moore Purity. Not only does Western Pride/Moore Purity provide 24/7 generation of chlorine dioxide they also have an exceptional reputation in the field as problem solvers.  Western Pride/Moore Purity custom built chlorine dioxide generators utilize Supervisory Control and Data Acquisitions (SCADA) allowing us to monitor usage and costs. We also turn to them for other areas in our plant such as continuous sanitation of the food contact equipment, inspection and transportation conveyance. Using Western Pride/Moore Purity continuous sanitation technology has maximized the runtime of the facilities’ food production processes.

As a Food Technologist I recommend Western Pride/Moore Purity to be a great resource to Morning Star Packing Company and our food industry."

The system Moore Purity/Western Pride designed, engineered and installed, worked flawlessly from the beginning and saved our company more than $100k in the first year."
