Custom machines for the food industry

Custom machines and equipment for those who process and package agricultural and food products: dosers, conveyors, washing, sorting and cutting lines. From the problem on the shop floor to the machine at work, with one contact person for design and construction.

The work in this sector

Anyone producing preserves, pasta, cheese, fruit and vegetables or bakery products often has one step that slows everything down: dosing done by hand, a transfer that means lifting crates, a machine that can no longer keep up with volumes. The right machine isn't in any catalogue, or it costs as much as a whole line.

The studio designs the machine or equipment around your product and your space and follows its construction: you deal with one person, from the site visit to final testing. Food-contact surfaces, cleaning and operator safety are decided at the design stage, not afterwards.

What we design and have built

Dosers and fillersScrew conveyors, volumetric and weight dosers for powders, granules, sauces and products in pieces, sized on the real product.
Belts and conveyorsBelt conveyors, roller conveyors, elevators and hoppers that connect the machines you already have.
Washing, sorting and cuttingWashing tanks, sorting tables, graders and cutting units for fruit, vegetables and plant products.
Shop-floor equipmentBin tippers, manipulators for heavy loads, benches and trolleys in stainless steel.
Modifications to existing machinesUpgrading machines in use: more output, a new format, guards and safety to put right.
Documentation and CE markingRisk assessment, instruction manual and technical file, including the hygiene requirements of the machine.

Reference standards

Before designing, the regulatory scope is defined: which standards apply, in which version and with which customer requirements.

Directive 2006/42/ECEssential safety requirements for machinery; from 20 January 2027, Regulation (EU) 2023/1230.
EN 1672-2Food processing machinery: hygiene and cleanability requirements.
Regulation (EC) 1935/2004Materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.
EN ISO 14159Hygiene requirements for the design of machinery.
EN ISO 12100Risk assessment and risk reduction.
EN ISO 14120 / 13857Guards and safety distances for danger zones.
EN 619 / EN 620Safety of conveyors for unit loads and for bulk materials.
Versions in force

Standards are revised fairly often: the first activity in every project is to check which edition applies at the date of the design.

How we work

  1. Site visitWe look at the shop floor, the product and the step that wastes time: throughput, formats, space and cleaning.
  2. ProposalA sketch of the solution with dimensions, performance, time and price, before any commitment.
  3. Design3D model, calculations and manufacturing drawings; materials and finishes chosen for food contact and for washing.
  4. ConstructionWe follow the construction in the workshop and the trials with your product.
  5. Installation and documentsCommissioning on site, manual, risk assessment and technical file.

FAQ

Do you build the machine yourselves?

The studio designs the machine and follows its construction through to final testing. You have one contact and one quote.

Can I have a machine I already own modified?

Yes, and it is often the cheapest route: we start with a site visit, check what the machine can take and design only what is needed.

How much does it cost and how long does it take?

It depends on the machine: that is why after the site visit you receive a proposal with price and timing, and you decide before spending.

Who takes care of the CE marking?

The documentation (risk assessment, manual, technical file) is part of the job; who signs as manufacturer is established in the offer.
