Patent ID: 8577492

Claim:
A process comprising: comparing a low microbial wash (LMW) timing threshold for a low microbial (LM) bulk flour vessel against a next scheduled transport period for the LM bulk flour vessel, wherein the LM bulk flour vessel is located on a transportation vehicle, the LMW timing threshold being a maximum recommended amount of time between LM washes for the LM bulk flour vessel; receiving an indication that the low microbial wash (LMW) timing threshold will be exceeded during the next scheduled transport period; in response to the indication, causing a LMW process to be performed, wherein the LMW process includes: removing vessel accessibility components from the LM bulk flour vessel, subjecting the vessel accessibility components to a sanitary solution bath, securing spinners to hopper openings of the LM bulk flour vessel, and actuating the spinners by forcing sanitary solution through the spinners to cause dispersion of the sanitary solution within the interior of the LM bulk flour vessel; updating a LMW record for the LM bulk flour vessel to indicate a completion date of the LMW process.
