APOLLO AUTOMATIONJAMES WARREN · ENGINEERING & PROJECT LEADERSHIPPRJ-A-011 · Food and beverage manufacturer
Owned the full lifecycle of this project, connecting capital planning, engineering, delivery and operating readiness. The centrifuge and transfer-loop work required a coordinated set of process and utility interfaces. Power, motor control, water, air, cleaning, waste handling and batch measurement all affected whether the equipment could be operated and maintained effectively.

Workstream: Wine Clarification and Vinegar Polishing Modernization
The centrifuge and transfer-loop work required a coordinated set of process and utility interfaces. Power, motor control, water, air, cleaning, waste handling and batch measurement all affected whether the equipment could be operated and maintained effectively.
Compared supplier documentation, automation, serviceability and performance, then translated evaluation findings into specifications and procurement planning. Flow measurement, batch control and hard-piped transfer arrangements connected separation performance with repeatable production and cleaning practices.
Evaluated centrifuge and CIP interfaces to reduce cleaning labor and DE/bentonite dependency; future hard-piped transfer loops remained integration scope.

| Measure or outcome | Value or result | Meaning and operating scope |
|---|---|---|
| Centrifuge trial comparison | Approximately $120,000 one-time reduction | Installation-cost reduction with approximately 50% higher separation efficiency in the compared approaches. |
| Recorded outcome | Recorded reduced cleaning labor and elimination of DE or bentonite waste within the documented centrifuge scope. | Winery Centrifuge and CIP Interface Engineering + Vinegar Transfer Centrifuge Loop |
| Recorded outcome | Supplier trials recorded 95% solids removal at 40 GPM and 83% at 50 GPM. These are trial observations. | Winery Centrifuge and CIP Interface Engineering + Vinegar Transfer Centrifuge Loop |
| Recorded outcome | Brew 250 testing recorded approximately 36–40 NTU after nozzle correction against a 20–30 NTU target; AFE approval and purchase-order release were separately authorized. | Winery Centrifuge and CIP Interface Engineering + Vinegar Transfer Centrifuge Loop |
| Recorded outcome | Transfer-loop design and installation planning remain distinct from installed or observed centrifuge work. | Winery Centrifuge and CIP Interface Engineering + Vinegar Transfer Centrifuge Loop |
