A simple yet highly cost-effective upgrade to an existing manufacturing line at Holmesterne Foods Brompton-on-Swale raw meat plant has resulted in significant cost savings and efficiency improvements across the business in just a few weeks.

><p><br></p></p></p> <p>A Dolav Tipper, requiring a capital investment of around £3K, has been added to the mincing machine line resulting in increased production capacity of 25%. Prior to the installation raw meat was manually loaded from the Dolav onto the mincer infeed belt. The process, which used to take around 50 minutes to transfer 500 kg of product, now takes just a mere 5 minutes from raising the Dolav, to the minced product emitting at the end of the production line.</p> <p>The benefits of this ingenious automation process are wide reaching with improvements demonstrated across key areas such as Quality Control, inline efficiencies, labour utilisation, yield recovery and waste management.</p> <p>In an environment where transparent and clear management style engages the teams and improves work place culture and motivation, Holmesterne also places an emphasis on Health and Safety issues including employee safety. This change to the manufacturing process demonstrates a duty of care to the personnel who were previously involved in the manual aspects of this job, resulting in diminished potential physical injury and risk of RSI.</p><p><p><img src= More News
