QUALITY
*** Good Clean runs for all 3 batches.
*** Had some bottles breaking on 1st batch - most likely from employee trying to move too fast and flipping the cases harder by doing so. No issues 2nd and 3rd batches
BATCHING
*** First and 2nd batches were on time as planned. Had issues with scale when loading 3rd batch which put it behind.
PRODUCTION
*** 1st Batch was 290 Gal of Mesa De Vita Mediterranean. Started about 9:05 am and finished about 10:10am. Yielded 4187 bottles
*** 2nd Batch was 290 Gal of Mesa De Vita North African. Started about 10:50am and finished about 11:45am. Yielded 3894 bottles
*** 3rd Batch was 290 Gal of Mesa de Vita Smoky Latin. Started at 2:20pm and finished about 3:25pm. Yielded 4272 bottles
*** Had employees on almost 2 hr lunch between 2nd and 3rd Batches.
*** Had to lubricate air cylinder for #4 piston because it was slow opening slowly and causing splattering. No issues after lubricating and was able to speed line up to 85 BPM at filler.
*** No Major issues - All 3 runs good and clean.
*** Last run we were able to run about hit about 90 BPM at the filler and ran at 102 BPM at the labeler.
*** Reworked the product left in the hose and kettle lines at the end of the last run. Saved about 8 gallons on last batch from product left in the lines after kettle is empty.
MAINTENANCE
*** Had the problem with the likwifier scale today. Need to get that back working properly.
*** The servo motor on the exit of the labeler started acting up but I was able to wiggle it and tighten the tape on it to get it back going. Need to look into securing better than tap and zip tie.

Re: 3-26-21
I gave Colorado scale center a call this afternoon, they should be coming by on Monday to take a look.
Awesome job! Kirsten was super impressed in the product and how perfect the bottles looked.

QUALITY
*** At beginning of run had some bottles tipping over at gripper belts. Had to stop several times to clean conveyors to keep bottles clean.
*** Had some loose caps going down line. Adjusted out.
BATCHING
*** Batch was ready at 10:30
PRODUCTION
*** Ran Angkor lemon grass paste. Started about 11:45am and finished 2:45pm. Yielded 12,492 bottles.
*** I haven't ran this bottle but we were able to set up first thing in morning and was able to get lined out early in the run.
*** Filler ran really well at about 90 BPM. Nice clean fill levels. Had some bottles tipping at the gripper belt going to capper but was able to adjust out.
*** Capper ran well. Some loose caps here and there. Had some missing caps going through. adjusted quills, cap elevator angle for upside down caps, and capper hight for missing caps. Ran really well after that.
*** Ran Cap elevator empty 4 times. New employee over there, needs to get in better habit of checking caps level in elevator hopper more frequently.
*** Couple jam ups at gripper belts going to accumulation conveyor from tipped bottles. Would jam up into the capper. tightened the gripper belt to prevent them from tipping.
*** Had some issues early on with the labeler. Found out it was from tipped bottles. once all the bottles were running how they should, labeler ran great at 96BPM, could go to 102 BPM but didn't need it.
*** I uploaded a video of the filler running and the labeler running to the drive from todays run.
MAINTENANCE
*** No major issues today requiring maintenance support.
THURSDAY PLAN
*** Plan to start running about 10am, Bubba will be in at 6am to help batching again. Should look at a permanent move for him there with Cody and Kaleb leaving.
*** 400 gallon of lemon grass paste again.
*** 800 gallon of Georgia Boys BBQ in 5 Gal Pails (if we get the starch in)

Re: Daily Production Reports
The independent case taper would be really nice so that we could make boxes while running the lines.
by Josh Tomlinson - 07:02 - 17 Feb 2021-
Re: Daily Production Reports
Could we use the box taper on Line 2 while we run line 1? I know it's a temporary solution until both lines are running at the same time, just a thought.TanyaOn Wed, Feb 17, 2021 at 5:03 PM Josh Tomlinson <josht@motherlodecopacking.com> wrote:The independent case taper would be really nice so that we could make boxes while running the lines.

*** Frozen blocks of vegetables put us behind today, planned start was 11am, actual start was a little before 2pm
*** Busted seal on liqwifier today loosing several gallons of product.
QUALITY
*** No quality issues
PRODUCTION
*** 800 Gallon batch of Sweetgreen hot sauce in gallon. Started 2pm and finished 4:30pm. Yielded 758 gallons
*** Handfilling with no major issues.
*** Made about 3500 boxes today with case taper. Much better and faster process than hand taping each box.
NEXT PRODUCTION DAY
*** *(2) 400 gallon batches little miss BBQ in 5 gallon pails
*** Have them heated at same time to adjust consistency

Re: 1-16-20
I do agree. Hand taping is inconsistent also. We do have that other 3m taper in the back if we wanna set up a independent box taping machines? Let me know.Frozen block crusher + 2On Feb 16, 2021, at 5:14 PM, Josh Tomlinson <josht@motherlodecopacking.com> wrote:

BATCHING
*** 1st Batch heated by 6:30am and approved before 7am
*** 2nd and 3rd batches were ready to run before production was ready (Great Job Batching)
*** 1st batch is in the kettle for tomorrow
*** 2nd batch is in Likwifier for tomorrow
***3rd batch will be weighed and loaded tomorrow morning
QUALITY
*** Had a couple instances of loose caps but were able to tighten them without issue
*** 1st and 2nd Batches had some dirty rails and capper conveyors from overfills and bottles falling at filler transition - I was stressing keeping the rails and conveyors clean in that area and they were doing a good job of keeping clean when they did get dirty
*** Fill levels were a bit inconsistent at faster speeds, none too low that we couldn't pack but not the best quality
PRODUCTION
*** 1st Batch started at 7:05am and Finished at 10:22am. Yielded 7710 bottles
*** 2nd Batch started at 10:45am and finished at 1:50pm. Yielded 7752 bottles
*** 3rd Batch started at 2:15pm and finished at 5:35pm. Yielded 7812 bottles. This was our best run of the day
*** 1st and 2nd runs had some inconsistent fill levels made many adjustments to timing of pistons and nozzles. Would get better and then get inconsistent again. We will change out the piston O-rings in the morning to help with this.
*** Had a lot of bottles tipping at the transition from filler to capper on 1st and 2nd runs.
*** Drive sprocket stripped on filler conveyor at the start of the 3rd run. After it was replaced we were able to lower the transition plate more and didn't have any more bottles tipping
*** On the 1st and 2nd Batch we had the non-operator side of the capper gripper belts fall out of place. Mechanics repositioned and tightened down.
*** Had multiple jam ups at the capper exit. This is from the bottles turning slightly as they exit the capper and then hitting the rails. The bottles turning is caused by the curve of the flask on the gripper belt. I put in a work order to have the rails extended into the capper further so that the rails can catch the bottles as they are turning and straighten them out instead of the bottles turning and ultimately jamming into the rails.
*** Had numerous jams at the gripper belt going into the steam tunnel. After I was able to watch it for a minute this was caused by the gripper belt being about an inch higher than the rail tipping the bottle over the edge of the rail causing the top of the bottle to hit the side of the steam tunnel and jam up. I raised the rail to be even with the gripper belt and this corrected the problem.
*** Had some slack in the accumulation conveyor rails going into the 3rd run allowing bottles to turn sideways. Tightened down the rails and didn't see it more.
*** Labeler ran well throughout the day. Need to train more on timing. Operators tend to run until the labeler stops itself. We have a timer at the labeler for them to set so that they can check on the labels before it stops. Had a far better yield and cleaner run at the labeler on the 3rd run with me baby sitting it. If we use the timer correctly, we will see significant improvement at the labeler
MAINTENANCE
*** Other than the work order that I mentioned above, we need to find a way to fortify and make the gripper belts a little more sturdy. They tend to move around easily and there is a lot of flex in them as we discussed in the management meeting today.
*** Overall a good day. We got (3) 800 gallon batches completed with change overs and line cleaned in less than 12 hrs today. It was a long hard day for everyone, especially our operators. Please when you see them, thank them, shake their hand, and let them know they busted their ass to get everything done today.
NEXT DAY PRODUCTION
*** Changing out piston O-rings starting at 5:30am
*** Production will plan on starting by 7am
*** Three 800 gallon batches of Rufus Teague Sweet Honey
*** Another long day but very capable day the last batch ran really smooth after the drive sprocket was changed.

*** Overall a good day. We got (3) 800 gallon batches completed with change overs and line cleaned in less than 12 hrs today. It was a long hard day for everyone, especially our operators. Please when you see them, thank them, shake their hand, and let them know they busted their ass to get everything done today.
NEXT DAY PRODUCTION
*** Changing out piston O-rings starting at 5:30am
*** Production will plan on starting by 7am
*** Three 800 gallon batches of Rufus Teague Sweet Honey
*** Another long day but very capable day the last batch ran really smooth after the drive sprocket was changed.Sent by MOTHERLODE CO-PACKING, LLC using Odoo.

Re: Daily Production Reports
We were able to do 1050 gallons into a small bottles in less than 7 hrs of run time. I think an 800 of woozy's is feasible in an 8 hr day.
