Dairy Plant Expansion
Some of our best success stories have come from plants that wanted to expand. In some cases, these plants had reached capacity and needed some efficiencies added to their line to improve their capacity within their existing footprint.
We also have a lot of clients who are looking to add more co-packing capacity to their processing line. Thanks to our nationwide field experience, we can often help provide suggestions as to which new lines might require the least retooling and offer the greatest margins. Often, the best opportunities are geographically influenced, and we're always happy to provide data to our clients on where we see industry trends headed.
Dairy Processing Facility Sanitation
The processing of raw milk requires a high standard of sanitation. A proper sanitary design will cover both the internal surfaces of the sanitary process line as well as the external environment surrounding the sanitary equipment. Our designers include Clean-In-Place (CIP) sanitation for all piping, pumps, valves, and processing equipment and Clean-Out-of-place (COP) for anything that cannot be cleaned in line.
With a full Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) plan, you can be reassured of a proper clean every time.
This would include looking at dairy process equipment like pumps, valves, and heat exchangers, but (of equal importance) it also includes evaluating the current CIP or cleaning program to ensure that the programming isn't short-changing equipment that COULD with a good program by coupling it with a bad cleaning program. The dairy process equipment and the program have to work together (not against one another) to effectively provide consist of cleaning. If you're chasing counts in an existing plant, this is where we'd start – with a CIP consult in your dairy plant.
When it comes to the ideal milk processing plant layout, we have the track record to help you achieve efficiency without "reinventing the wheel."
