General Mills vegetable fat processing plant

General Mills vegetable fat processing plant

 

In 2021, the work on the General Mills vegetable fat processing plant was completed.

The ambitious project to fully automate the process started in 2020 with the intense collaboration of the two engineering teams TFM and General Mills. The solution resulting from this work has borne fruit and the installation is already in full operation.

The process includes the formulation of vegetable fat for 5 lines independently, the storage and feeding of the process lines, the CIP cleaning system completely automated for each section of the line.

The complete automation of the process and CIP was designed and developed by TFM technicians.

Apis Flora - Concentrated Propolis Line

In 2019, we completed the delivery of a concentrated propolis production line through alcoholic extraction and subsequent vacuum evaporation. The process involves the propolis, initially in the form of wax from the apiary, being added to grain alcohol within a process tank specifically designed for this purpose. In the mixing tank, the product is kept constantly stirred, undergoing successive heating and cooling operations over many hours. After this period, the propolis will be diluted. The settled sediment is discarded, and the product is sent to the concentrator for alcohol evaporation and propolis concentration. The concentration pot facilitates vacuum evaporation, and the evaporated alcohol is recovered in an indirect condenser and sent back to the alcohol accumulation tank. The final product is pure and concentrated propolis. All equipment was constructed following safety standards for explosive atmospheres and ATEX certification. Currently, the line is in perfect operation, adding value to our customer.

Demerara – 1000 Multi-fruit line

Between 2020 and 2021, we successfully completed the delivery of a 1000 Multifruit processing line to Demerara, a company located in Guyana. This partnership marked a significant milestone in the regional fruit processing industry and deserves due recognition.
