Installing a Palletiser Without Stopping a 24/7 Yeast Production Line at Lallemand GB

Lallemand, a global yeast and bacteria producer with over 29 manufacturing sites worldwide, worked with Granta Automation on a split installation that kept its 24/7 UK production running at full capacity throughout.

Lallemand is a global producer of yeast and bacteria products, operating more than 29 manufacturing sites worldwide, with production at its UK site running continuously, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Introducing new automation into an operation that never stops presents an obvious challenge: how do you install a palletiser without halting production?

Granta Automation worked with Lallemand to plan a split installation, carrying out the project in two separate stages so that production could continue at full capacity throughout. Sean Quinn at Lallemand has highlighted how well this staged approach fitted around the demands of a continuous production environment.

For manufacturers running round-the-clock operations, the ability to plan an installation around existing production schedules, rather than requiring a shutdown, can be just as important as the automation itself.

The project shows how automation projects can be tailored to fit even the most demanding, continuously running production environments. Granta Automation designs and installs palletising systems for manufacturers operating 24/7 across the UK. Visit our website and contact us today.
