Food and animal feed manufacturers in Germany generate more than \u20ac200 billion in revenue every year. The animal feed industry alone produces around 22 million tonnes annually. At this scale, even small process deviations can have a significant impact: waste, inaccurate dosing, unnecessary energy consumption or downtime can quickly become major cost factors.<\/p>\n
In food and animal feed production, small weaknesses can have serious consequences. Insufficient cooling, inaccurate dosing, bottlenecks in material flow or equipment operating at its limits can jeopardise efficiency, quality and the ability to meet delivery commitments. Downtime is rarely an option.<\/p>\n
That is why technical expertise must extend beyond individual machines and components. METZEN considers the entire process and develops tailored solutions, from analysis and engineering to design and in-house manufacturing, through to installation, commissioning and after-sales service. We also carry out complex modernisation projects while production continues.<\/p>\n
A project for one of the world\u2019s leading confectionery manufacturers demonstrates just how crucial this can be. Increasing production volumes pushed the existing cooling system to its limits. At the same time, space was restricted and interrupting production was not an option. METZEN developed and integrated a bespoke cooling tunnel incorporating advanced cooling and control technology. The result: greater efficiency, consistently high product quality and improved maintainability.<\/p>\n
For a manufacturer of delicatessen products, the challenge was different: increasing throughput without risking glass breakage or compromising the cold chain. METZEN developed an automation solution combining speed, gentle product handling and stringent hygiene standards. The resulting increase in efficiency also enabled the manufacturer to save one full-time position per shift.<\/p>\n
In animal feed production, performance and cost-effectiveness depend on the seamless interaction of numerous process stages. METZEN develops complete system solutions for this purpose: from silo and conveying systems to precise weighing and dosing technology, automated material flows, cooling belts and raw material processing. Designed to be modular and scalable, these systems can grow with new formulations, capacities and production requirements.<\/p>\n
Whether for an oil mill, biorefinery, food production facility or animal feed plant: when processes reach their limits, a standard solution is not enough. METZEN considers the entire system and develops solutions that make production safer, more efficient and more cost-effective.<\/p>\n
