Newstar fresh foods improves process control with SmartWash

SmartWash customer NewStar Fresh Foods has dramatically increased process control with the addition of SmartWash Solutions to their wash lines. Maintaining free chlorine at optimum levels is critical for food safety and line efficiency; too much threatens quality, too little compromises food safety. With the integration of SmartWash, NewStar Fresh Foods is able to maintain and monitor critical free chlorine levels with essential reliability. Ken Baseman, NewStar Fresh Foods Vice President of Food Safety and QA, says, "Before SmartWash, and in order to be assured that we would not go below a set point, we had to have that set point dramatically higher than the critical control point. Now I can have my set point three or four parts per million away from my critical control point and still be in control. SmartWash gives us much tighter control in a much narrower range of operation, which increases efficiency while at the same time protecting the quality of the product."



NewStar integrated SmartWash into their wash systems in Spring of 2013 and immediately saw dramatic improvement in process and chemical control. Director of Engineering, Glenn Adler has high praise for SmartWash's monitoring system calling it "safe, repeatable and reliable." SmartWash's Steven Swarts says, "SmartWash was developed to improve food safety, but it is also a powerful tool in process control. If a company can improve line efficiency, that translates to a better bottom line. It's gratifying to help a customer see such dramatic results. It's a win for everyone."

NewStar Fresh Foods has roots steeped in innovation, having built a reputation as the innovators of packaged Spinach (Fresh Choice brand), and pioneered the development of iceless Green Onions. Today, NewStar stands out as the world's largest shipper of iceless Green Onions, and continues to focus on industry leadership in value-added Spinach, Asparagus, and tender leaf products.
