Food Processor Fortifies Critical Compressor Reliability with Emerson's 6500 ATG Protection and Prediction

“When we realized that our online protection system was obsolete, and it was harder and harder to get parts and/or service for it, we were extremely worried. That was when we were introduced to Emerson’s AMS 6500 ATG. we would recommend Emerson’s AMS 6500 ATG as the vibration prediction/protection system for other highly critical machines
throughout our company.”

Learn how Ingomar Packing Company, a premium supplier of industrial tomato products, replaced its obsolete protection system with Emerson’s AMS 6500 ATG for a critical compressor at its California (U.S.A.) processing facility.
