On hold for high/low/high solids

Last night I ran soy in ESL for the first time since my very first day.

My very first day, I did not realize how much it sucks to run soy in ESL.

There is no agitation in the steritanks. For milk that just went through a homogenizer, this is no big deal. For soy? Disaster. I don't know why these customers stay with us when half of every run gets put on hold because it's settling out in the tank and the solids bounce around like crazy.

And that's not even taking in to account the bloaters. I put my samples away and had four leakers within twenty minutes. The hot room is going to be a mess of rotten soy. Lovely.
