Village Dairy high care installation
New ventilation and product cooling blast chill in purpose-built factory supports expansion plans for leading Dairy producer
The Outcomes:
- Positive HEPA filtered air prevents yeasts and mould ingress.
- Rapid cooling of production enables swift dispatch.
- Controlled working environment for employees.
- Project delivered on time and to budget, enabling rapid return on investment.
The Challenge:
Identifying the need for a new purpose-built yoghurt production facility to expand their business, they approached Penmann for a solution.
We designed the production area’s high care pressurised ventilation and the product cooling blast chill.
The Solution:
Following detailed discussions with our client’s project team, we developed the following excellent value engineered solutions for both areas:
- A dedicated air handling unit which has a three-stage filtration to HEPA filter standards, supplying high care.
- The system is ducted to supply terminals in the production area and tank rooms — this ventilates and positively pressurises these areas to prevent ingress of yeasts and moulds.
- A refrigeration plant capable of cooling all the production from 25 degrees to less than four degrees is installed in the chill store, enabling swift dispatch.
