How automated waste handling improved productivity for N\u00d8RAGER MEJERI<\/h2>\n

Founded in 1984, N\u00d8RAGER MEJERI<\/a> (part of NORDEX FOOD) produces and sells white cheese and other cheese and dairy products to customers around the world through three strategically located production sites.<\/p>\n

Packaging forms an important part of the cheese production process. When the business first started operations with only one machine, the waste it produced was easy to manage by hand. However, as the business grew, now with four packaging machines in its Denmark facilities, the amount of waste created has also increased significantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs production grew, we started wondering how much more money the business could make if operators weren\u2019t spending time taking out the waste!\u201d says Karsten Pr\u00e6stiin Nielsen, Technical Manager.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As production grew, so did waste<\/h2>\n

This increase in waste started to cause N\u00d8RAGER MEJERI several challenges.<\/p>\n

Firstly, the waste went everywhere, which not only looked messy but littered the floor and became slippery. More importantly, it also meant there was slight chance of plastic pieces coming closer to the production area. With hygiene and product quality an absolute priority for N\u00d8RAGER MEJERI, this was something that simply could not be allowed to happen.<\/p>\n

However, the most significant issue was the time it took to manage the waste manually. The machines had to be stopped constantly to allow workers to carry bags of waste outside. With breaks included, this could take up to half an hour, many times a day. The impact this had on productivity was not sustainable, especially as the business has plans to expand with more packaging machines in the near future.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A seamless process<\/h2>\n

\u201cWe reached out to Lundberg Tech\u2019s experts, who were very helpful and easy to work with. The best automated waste handling solution<\/a> for our needs was approved, then installed in only one week with minimal interruption to operations,\u201d continued Karsten Pr\u00e6stiin Nielsen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Connected seamlessly to all N\u00d8RAGER MEJERI\u2019s packaging machines, all waste is now automatically taken away from the production area and deposited in a bag that can be easily removed and thrown into a container once a day, taking 5-10 minutes, with zero machine stops.<\/p>\n

Everything is clean and tidy, there is no risk of plastic pieces going anywhere near products, and workers\u2019 time can be far better spent on production speed and quality, rather than endlessly handling waste.<\/p>\n

“Production has definitely improved with Lundberg Tech\u2019s solution. Our operators can now focus on producing cheese, not removing waste, and we feel confident to move ahead with our expansion plans with no limits to our capacity,\u201d Karsten Pr\u00e6stiin Nielsen concludes.<\/p>\n
