This project required a bespoke draining conveyor to be designed and built to firstly replace an aging existing machine, but secondly be able to cope with in a substantial uplift in capacity of the site. The previous conveyor was also supplied by us, a mere 25 years ago, in which time it has processed over 1,300,000 tons of cheddar cheese!
The new conveyor design took elements of the original, but bought it into the 21st century with refreshed technology and an even more robust design making it ready to run for another quarter century.
A premium was placed on serviceability, reliability and cleanliness throughout the design. We worked closely with the customer through the design, build and installation phases to make sure all of their requirements on equipment types, production needs and engineering specifications were met in full.
The removal of the original machine and installation of the new machine took place within a limited shutdown period resulting in the minimal amount of downtime required to replace a core piece of equipment in the cheese process.
