What Key Questions Should You be Asking Your Project Team during Scale-up of a Food Process?

Ready to grow your production line? Good - but what challenges lie ahead specifically related to the flow of powders and ingredients through the new, larger equipment? Many issues in processing can arise as processes are scaled up for higher capacities. Often the science behind producing the new product is focused on and the practical aspect of the handling of the ingredients is pushed to the backburner.

To achieve the desired production throughput, quality and safety, it is critical that ingredients flow through the process without issues in the handling equipment. This presentation discusses best practices for scale-up production to minimize risk and achieve a reliable material handling system in food production. As an outcome, attendees will come away with a list of valuable questions they should be asking their project team so start-up occurs as planned, producing high quality products safely from the beginning.
