Custom Food Processing Line Manufacturers

When to consider a custom food processing line

Standard off-the-shelf food processing lines suit the majority of common food production applications. Custom or bespoke lines are warranted when: the product is unique and standard equipment cannot achieve the required characteristics; the production process is proprietary and the buyer does not wish to use standard equipment shared with competitors; available floor space is highly constrained and standard layout is not viable; the raw material requires non-standard handling (extreme viscosity, unusual fragility, non-standard particle size, or hygroscopic properties); automation or integration requirements exceed the standard offering of available suppliers; the regulatory or food safety design standard is more stringent than standard commercial equipment (for example, ultra-high hygiene pharmaceutical-grade food equipment); or the scale is non-standard (very small for a speciality product or very large requiring modular construction). Custom food processing equipment typically carries a premium over standard solutions in both capital cost and lead time.
