Blommer Chocolate Company, one of the most important players in the North American cocoa market, must ensure the continuity and purity of its production flows. The “pigging” system, used to clean pipes and recover chocolate residues, is aging and less efficient, risking to lead to a decrease in efficiency and a potential risk of contamination. In an agri-food environment, where compliance with health standards is essential, it is imperative to have reliable and fast cleaning technology.

Modernizing this system makes it possible not only to limit product losses, but also to reduce maintenance downtime and to guarantee the cleanliness of the pipes between the various batches. Any interruption or contamination could have a significant impact on the productivity and reputation of the company. The replacement of the pigging system must be carried out while minimizing the discomfort on the production line and respecting health and safety constraints. The success of the project results in more efficient production, a reduction in waste and greater confidence in the quality of the chocolates produced.
