The £7m production facility close to Bowman Ingredients’ UK headquarters in Hertfordshire opened in 2012. To date, the blending plant has produced almost 100,000 tonnes of dry cereal-based food coatings for major retailers and foodservice customers in the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe and the Middle East.
The purpose-built blending facility enables Bowman Ingredients to offer customers accurate blending and full product traceability, with automatic digital data collection and fast-track reporting.
The blending plant has a total processing capacity of 60,000 tonnes per annum and features two automated blending lines, 20 automated ingredients hoppers, digital material weighing and automated packing.
“Achieving 100,000 tonnes of blended coatings is a major milestone for this facility and affirms our position as a market leader in the global food industry,” said Bowman Ingredients sales director Richard Easey. “As well as enabling us to increase capacity and take product quality to the highest levels for our customers, we are also providing improved product protection and robust traceability.”
