Farley Health Products, makers of milk food for babies, replaced the manual materials handling methods of their Dairy Reconstitution Plant with an automated dry and liquid ingredients handling and processing system. The fully integrated project at Kendal, Cumbria was designed and built by

Fairport NEU Solutions personnel in association with the Swedish “liquids” specialist, Food Tech. The system includes dry materials discharge by recipe, weighing, vacuum conveying and buffer storage before mixing with the downstream liquids system.

Fairport NEU Solutions process control team provided a SCADA system for the plant as well as providing links with the overall factory control system.
