Tomato Sauce Capacity Expansion

Abarmore — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 19:14:07 +0000

C&I was able to double production capacity with this plant expansion project. We provided detailed design engineering for the project as well as updating all files and P&IDs and performing a laser scan to set the basis for next steps. The laser scan allowed us to layout and modify the new equipment so that it would fit alongside existing equipment. We also set up the facility with the flexibility to switch piping to feed one line (old process) or two lines (new process) depending on their needs.

Our associates made tank modifications, installed new hot hold tank and hot kettle with metal detector, and implemented new fillers, packaging equipment, hot water set, pumps, modified product heater and hold tube. This plant is unique as it resides inside a partner’s plant, requiring interfacing and coordinating with their team as well as our client’s.

New Coffee Creamer Production Line

Abarmore — Tue, 16 Nov 2021 18:56:43 +0000

C&I provided definition and detailed design engineering to assist in the installation of a new coffee creamer production line within the existing facility. Our team was able to think creatively to optimize existing equipment and come in with new ideas on repurposing old systems for new processes. We also conducted a study on the cream system modifications so that the turbulence and higher velocities would not churn the cream into butter during the process.

Scope included design of the following:

Powder handling system
Liquefier for powder addition
Liquid/paste ingredient batching systems
Dust collection system
Batching tank liquid cooler
CIP supply pump to clean batching tanks
Automatic mix proof valve manifold
Modifications to existing batching tanks
Recommissioning of existing sugar storage/supply system
