Food manufacturing today is facing a universal problem: a lack of skilled, multi-faceted engineers who are equipment brand-agnostic.
This forces production facilities to lean heavily on equipment manufacturers for implementation advice. As expected, this leads to inflated costs and, often, sub-par performance.
Food is one of life’s most basic needs, and twenty-first-century shoppers want it faster, healthier, tastier, and more eco-friendly than ever before.
DeJong Consulting specializes in helping you reduce waste, increase cleaning effectiveness, repurpose by-products, and increase your overall production, all while maintaining industry standards for food safety and cleanliness.
We work with you to find process efficiencies and equipment improvements to elevate your food processing to the next level. You’ll see your ROI increase, your plant production soar, and the amount of waste you produce dwindle.
We put clients first, no side deals with equipment vendors, no pushing products you don’t need. Just honest, creative problem-solving.
Many food production plants struggle with productivity inefficiencies because of a knowledge gap.
For instance, we came across a plant that regularly discarded two days’ worth of product due to high bacterial counts. The staff believed this was normal and nothing could be done to fix it. However, we knew that it was possible to solve the problem. In another case, a plant required to increase productivity, but their machines were underperforming due to transport inefficiencies. We replaced inefficient conveyors with more efficient ones, which instantly increased production and margins.
The problem with most food production plants is that they tend to stick with business as usual until they are forced to find alternatives.
Unfortunately, by that time, the competition has already taken a considerable chunk of their margins. We are here to help food production plants solve these nagging problems that are killing their plants. You can lean on us as experts to provide outside advice and rethink your plant’s man-hours, redesigns, and alternative solutions.
Our solutions include process consulting, plant design, project management, and equipment installation to support production line installation, product optimization, turnkey solutions, by-product recovery, and so much more.
Through our strong industry partnerships, we can provide customized plant operations and process solutions that fit your plant’s specific needs. At our company, we value sustainability, whether it’s achieved by reducing waste or cutting utility costs.
We work with you to identify process efficiencies and equipment improvements that will take your plant to the next level. You’ll see your return on investment (ROI) increase, your plant production soar, and the amount of waste you produce decrease. We prioritize our clients and never engage in side deals with equipment vendors or push unnecessary products. Our focus is on honest and creative problem-solving.

Moreover, our team excels in optimizing existing plant bottlenecks. By implementing efficient cleaning processes and sanitary designs, we can enhance throughput, reduce waste, and improve overall efficiency.
Why Speed Matters in Food Production
Speed is not just about rushing through tasks; it's about maximizing output while maintaining quality. Faster throughput means greater production per square foot, leading to increased margins and reduced overhead costs. By leveraging speed, food processors can achieve significant economies of scale, minimizing raw material waste and maximizing profitability.
Designing the Future of Food Plants
A well-thought-out facility design is essential for minimizing risks and ensuring efficiency. Our experienced team focuses on mitigating cross-contamination risks, optimizing human traffic flow, and adhering to industry regulations such as PMO
FDA, USDA, and FSMA standards. We understand the importance of automation in boosting productivity and reducing labor costs. By integrating smart automation systems, we create a more consistent and reliable manufacturing process.The Power of Automation
