The Outcomes:
The Challenge:
Steam was being generated during the extrusion process, leading to condensation on the building structure and process equipment and high humidity conditions for operators.
There was also the risk of product contamination from condensation droplets.
The Solution:
We worked with the plant operators to come up with a design that would efficiently capture steam, whilst retaining the necessary access required and complying with hygienic construction standards.
We provided a full stainless steel trial unit for approval, but kept the existing system operational for as long as possible.
All installation work was performed on time and to a high standard. The installation team, ensured that they worked safely and that the safety of others around the working area was considered at all times.

“This project was my first experience of working with Penmann and I found them to be extremely knowledgeable and flexible, particularly at design stage. The project delivery was very good with great attention to detail paid to the design, overseen by an exceptional project management team. The build quality was excellent. We would certainly use Penmann again on future projects”.

We have worked with Penmann on projects across all our UK sites. Their attention to detail is evident throughout each project.
The phrase ‘Turnkey Solution’ is used extensively in projects, but never has it been better suited than for describing a project by Penmann.
