Hygienic process engineering for food production.
We engineer the process plant and automation behind food and drink production — hygienic design, CIP systems, thermal processing, and packaging integration — all to EHEDG hygienic design principles and the food safety standards UK producers must meet.
Overview
Safe Food,
By Design
Food and beverage manufacturing carries a responsibility that most sectors do not: the product is consumed. Hygienic design is therefore not a preference but a requirement — every surface, joint, and dead-leg in the process must be designed to be cleanable, and every material must be food-contact compliant. Get this wrong and the consequences range from product recall to public harm.
We engineer food and beverage process plant to hygienic design principles set out by EHEDG, supporting compliance with BRCGS and the requirements of UK food safety law. Our scope covers process design, thermal processing and pasteurisation, clean-in-place systems, and packaging line integration — delivering plant that is not only efficient and productive but demonstrably safe and cleanable.
Capabilities
What We Deliver
Hygienic Process Design
Process and plant design to EHEDG hygienic principles — cleanable surfaces, drainable pipework, and food-contact compliant materials.
Thermal Processing
Pasteurisation, sterilisation, and cooling system design with validated thermal processes for product safety and shelf life.
CIP Systems
Clean-in-place system design and validation to ensure repeatable, verifiable cleaning of process plant between production runs.
Packaging Integration
Filling, sealing, and packaging line design and integration, including date coding, checkweighing, and inspection systems.
Hygienic Design Principles
Built To Be
Cleaned
Hygienic design runs through every element of the plant we engineer. Core principles we apply throughout:
- ✓Self-draining pipework with no dead legs
- ✓Crevice-free, cleanable surface finishes
- ✓Food-contact compliant materials of construction
- ✓Hygienic seals, gaskets, and fittings
- ✓Validated clean-in-place coverage
- ✓Accessible design for inspection and maintenance
- ✓Segregation of raw and finished product zones
- ✓Allergen control and cross-contamination prevention
- ✓Validated thermal processes for safety
- ✓Traceability and batch record integration
