DKB Food Solutions
The Project Background
MasterMix B.V. produces large quantities of marinades and sauces daily, with a filling temperature of 80 Celsius. These are filled in various packaging options: buckets and jerrycans ranging from 1 kg to 20 kg. To accommodate this growing production, MasterMix B.V. needed to expand its production capacity. A precise and reliable automatic bucket/jerrycan filling line was delivered to achieve this.
The Project Execution
Together with the team from MasterMix B.V., we explored the best solution for further automation and increasing production capacity. A key aspect of the production process is the need for accurate and efficient filling.
Van Rijn B.V. consulted extensively with the client to develop a machine suitable for filling the various types and sizes of packaging with marinades and sauces at a temperature of 80° Celsius. The client also has sauces with and without chunks, and this was thoroughly assessed and tested to ensure efficient, safe, and reliable filling with our hygienic and precise dosing valve.
Finally, a proposal was presented to the client. This proposal shows the expected production capacity and includes a 2D layout drawing showing the most efficient configuration and the final dimensions of the filling line.
After approval, Van Rijn extensively tested the system in its own factory to ensure it could handle the conditions and intensive use.
The system was then installed at the customer’s premises and the operators were extensively trained to commission the machine.
The final result
The production team at MasterMix B.V. can now process large quantities of product with this automatic bucket/jerrycan filling line, significantly improving the efficiency of the production process. These saved man-hours can now be deployed elsewhere to accommodate growth.
What MasterMix B.V. has to say
Speaking: Mr. Bjorn Dokter, why did you choose Van Rijn B.V.? How was the collaboration, etc.?
We found the collaboration with Van Rijn to be a pleasant experience. At the beginning of the project, Van Rijn’s staff guided us in identifying the ideal machines for our process and product. After some consultation, we arrived at a successful and comprehensive line that will allow us to make significant progress.
