Machinery Installation & Relocation Food & Beverage Sector

Due to RRS Group having significant experience in the food and beverage process and manufacturing sector, our client, one of Europe’s leading processors and suppliers of fresh produce chose us as their partner for a project of phased capex investment and equipment changes lasting over a two-year period and on-going currently. RRS Group carried out this significant project and on-going machinery, process equipment relocations and capital plant installation requirements as a turnkey project.

• An extension to the main processing plant meant offloading significant amounts of new plant such as weighing, bagging, filling equipment and conveying machinery.
• Removal of redundant plant and equipment from existing areas, some for scrap, some into storage and some relocated and reinstalled into other parts of the process facility.
• RRS Group’s skilled site operatives, project engineers and our own specialist Versa Lifts, Valla cranes and Forklift Trucks were on site at all times.
• Further new capital equipment offloaded, installed and positioned into the vacated areas.
• The equipment needed storage at several points in the phased plan which was facilitated by our own machinery storage facilities. Secure, clean and monitored. Then uplifted and transported back into the new area by RRS as the final phase of the project.

Our Approach: Our full turnkey project approach was the perfect fit for our client. Harnessing many decades of clean room, food process and beverage manufacturing project experience, RRS Group was able to fully support the client including engineered solutions to the machinery moves, the specialist plant required and in-house knowledge on project timing, management, health, safety and environmental considerations. Our extensive competency shone throughout and our Group divisions of machinery transport and storage completed the one stop shop and complete end to end turnkey service we offer on capital equipment move projects.

Summary and Conclusion:

• The entire machinery relocation, installation, transport, offload, positioning and alignment, electrical disconnections, reconnections and project management (including H & S) was carried out by RRS Group.
• Due to the successful completion of Phases 1 & 2, new phases are beginning and RRS Group is already on-site installing and relocating older machinery to other areas as part of our on-going service relationship, delivering quality machinery installations and relocations to the food and beverage process sectors.
