Complete Support for Your Alternative Specialty Sanitary Design Scale-Up Project

While alternative food or beverage products are unique, our team has collaboratively developed multi-stage scale-up plans and scenarios for a number or manufacturers. We have selected equipment for proof of concept, designed best practice processes from raw ingredient handling to batching, storage, pasteurization kill step, stream processing, piping, and filling to keep your product flowing at the optimum rate, while maximizing your production output potential and minimizing capital investment.

Whether your alternative specialty products are alternative proteins, infused products, or other specialty food and beverages, we have supported our clients’ goals by providing alternative process and utility systems design, what-if scenarios, equipment and pipe sizing, determining specialty technology equipment, budgeting, and project timeline estimation for various stages of the scale-up project.
