Abstract
Methods and apparatus for improving water usage in food processing are provided. One example food processing system generally includes a wash tank for containing at least a portion of first wash water and a water sprayer configured to spray a quantity of second wash water on a food product being removed from the wash tank, wherein at least a portion of the quantity of the second wash water sprayed by the water sprayer enters the wash tank and becomes the first wash water. One example method for managing wash water in such a food processing system generally includes determining a usable quantity (and/or quality) of the first wash water in the wash tank and automatically controlling a flow rate of the second wash water for supplying to the water sprayer based on the determined usable quantity (and/or quality) of the first wash water.
