Have enjoyed high growth supplying frozen food retailers with ready meals which include…

Aware that the current production setup is not efficient , particularly transferring cooked product from kettle to cooler and onward for packaging.

Now looking to create a more efficient workflow to reduce cycle time and increase capacity for further growth in volume and product range

We needed to upgrade our production process to create extra capacity within the existing footprint and our current set up was not ideal.

We have known Greaves for 20 years through other projects and believed they would be the best people to help us arrive at the right solution because of their understanding of our processes. They are well respected in food and they have good knowledge of other industries with similar problems.

Overall, Greaves delivered all we expected and more. We now have a much more efficient cooking process with rapidly heating kettles that reduce cooking time. Cooked product is directly transferred to inline coolers that are far quicker and more efficient than our previous vacuum coolers. Cleaning time has been reduced by a new CIP system so the overall process time is ??

Previously we could produce ?? meals a day. Now we have the capability to produce ?? meals a day in the same time.
