The client’s problem involved poor product quality (the texturing of fats) and a large amount of waste and, therefore, loss.

After analysing the process, we proceeded to remove the tanks and install a new system with a small tank (a launch tank). This made working in a closed loop and minimising material losses possible. We implemented different temperature control points throughout the transformation process, in order to optimise the control of fats and improve temperature management in the four tanks.

In addition to our work on the filling tanks, we improved the valve section with FDA and HEDGE certificates and replaced all the steel parts with stainless steel parts. We created a stainless steel walkway, in order to give the operator greater visibility and improve safety.
