PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The Pilot Plant Laboratory, at our Paarl-based factory, offers the opportunity for new or existing products and processes to be trialed. New packaging formats or different sizes can be packed, and development work on assessing the benefits of different processing media (steam, full immersion and water spray) can be done. The benefits of process optimization using end-over-end agitation, can be tested.

Thermal process validation expertise is available using calibrated, certified equipment. Process recommendations can be made with regards to product safety and process efficiency. Validation of seals and lidding materials can be made so as to minimize leakage and product waste. Recommendations regarding sealing times and temperatures are also on offer.

From inception to sign-off, projects undertaken are managed and monitored by our Project Management Team. Battery limits are clearly defined throughout, and the customer is kept abreast of developments and progress assuring certainty on where responsibilities begin and end. The Project Team relies on the expertise and direct support from our Engineering Department. Molenaar boasts a highly competent team consisting of Draughtsmen, Plant and System Engineers and Controller Programmers. Project management unites all Molenaar activities to create a single interface for our customers. THINK SERVICE EXCELLENCE
