Turnkey conveyor project
Pinnacle Foods is a specialist in the meat and poultry processing industry and provides frozen and fresh meat and poultry using contemporary techniques while maintaining traditional values.
UPM Conveyors designed the product handling system for the company's new purpose-built factory in Alton.
UPM accepted total responsibility for the turnkey project which involved the handling of meat and poultry from goods-in through to packing/despatch with an output of 3t/h on a 24h, 7-day week operation.
All aspects of manufacture were carried out in house at UPM including fabrication programming and control build based on a central PLC touch screen to interface all belt conveyors to the multihead weigher. Should a problem arise, product can be diverted accordingly.
