Process Consultancy

Cost reduction, increased quality production efficiency and food safety are, and will continue to be, the main drivers for innovations. Sometimes, however, the required improvements can simply be achieved by a process scan.
The process scan developed by NIZO is based on hands-on industrial experience, combined with extensive lab, pilot and modeling facilities and can directly be applied at your factory floor.

No hardware investments

By implementation of the recommendations of the NIZO process scan, a cheese company was able to increase the cheese yield by 10%, just by applying an optimum adjustment of the process parameters. In similar ways, we have evaluated and optimized several process lines in the dairy and food industry. We have also applied the principles of a process scan to reduce the water and energy use in a number of food related processes without hardware investments.
