Process hall and pilot plant facilities

From November 2009 newsletter     

At Campden BRI we have a huge range of pilot plant facilities, covering over 3000m², to help you develop new products, analyse existing processes, and evaluate ideas for the future. And our Nutfield site has specialist facilities for brewing and malting.

As well as a wide variety of traditional heat processing equipment (such as retorts, heat exchangers and temperature monitoring equipment), we also have facilities for chilling and freezing, drying and frying. Craig Leadley, New Products and Technologies Manager, explains, that is just the start: "Among the variety of specialist equipment we have are a range of microwaves and conventional ovens and hobs, drinks carbonators and a citrus multi-juicer, and aerators for foams and mousses. We also carry out high pressure processing, pulsed light techniques, and ohmic heating, and can help with both meat and fruit and vegetable processing. On top of that we have dedicated facilities for cereal milling, flour blending, baking and extrusion, and for evaluating packaging. All in all, if you need a process, product or package evaluated at the pilot scale, we have the equipment to do it."
