Case studies: Dairy plant for a supermarket chain
Customer
The Panamanian supermarket chain has launched an ambitious expansion plan that involves the construction of an industrial park aimed at the development of its own food brand covering bakery and pastries, meat, vegetables, fruits and dairy products. INOXPA participates in the project as a leading supplier for their dairy plant and also provides components for their bakery plant.
Project
Due to the rapid growth of the company, the project was divided into two parts; we studied the requirements for the final project and defined the skids required. The skids manufactured as part of the first phase were intended to help them increase the production of the existing facilities.
Thus, the equipment manufactured in this first phase completed the existing plants to reach a daily production of 15 000 litres per day of cheese, yogurt and milk. The production volume of the plant was 5 000 litres per day.
All skids are designed to be part of a fully automated line.

Why INOXPA?
Main goals are
a. Increase production of the existing plant for the period needed for the construction of the new facility.
b. Make the move to the new facility as easy as possible, therefore, the skids are made modular.
c. Create a completely automated plant.
