| The centre houses
an impressive range of equipment for mixing, cooking,
cooling, forming, enrobing and extrusion and cutting technology
for the food and confectionery industries. For example
our pilot cook cool plants are continually used both in
the Innovation Centre and on customer sites to demonstrate
the advantages of vacuum cooling, develop recipes and
introduce new methods and techniques. Recent product
trials that have taken place within the Centre:
• Rice Cooling
• Stock Cooling
• Cooking and cooling a range of ethnic and European
sauces for Ready Meals.
• Jam Depositing.

Hire Equipment
Our pilot plant has continuously been made available
to our customers or a third party to take to their sites
using a hire agreement for trials or tests to assess
the suitability of the equipment for their purpose and
requirements.
