PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Vestal’s Process and Mechanical Engineers worked with an international pulled soft candy manufacturer to improve productivity on one of its factories. A system and operation audit identified the root cause of the issues related to the quality, consistency and productivity of the manufacturing process, including sequence analysis and the study of raw materials, velocity, viscosity and temperatures. Vestal’s Engineer’s documented assumed flow velocities, viscosity, temperatures and develop a list of recommendations for equipment and automation upgrades, process improvements to meet the owner’s objectives. This study ultimately prepared the factory for property improvements and allocation.
