Boosting Production: How Globepak Revolutionised Sports Nutrition Manufacturing

The demand for sports nutrition products in South Africa and beyond has been skyrocketing, and Globepak of Centurion needed a solution to keep pace. Their existing methods for transferring ingredients simply couldn’t handle the growth.

This video case study reveals how Globepak transformed their operations by opening a new plant and implementing seven Flexicon bulk handling lines. You’ll see how they transitioned from rigid IBCs to bulk bags, leveraging Flexicon’s advanced bulk bag dischargers and flexible screw conveyors to feed their high-speed packaging machines.

Discover how these innovative systems efficiently handle over 360 different products, from sticky to free-flowing, all while maintaining a dust-tight, no-touch process that prevents contamination. The result? Massive improvements in efficiency, low running costs, conserved floor space, and ample capacity for future growth.

Boosting Efficiency in South African Food Processing with Tubular Cable Conveyor Systems

Tubular cable conveyor systems offer African food processors an efficient solution to enhance production and maintain product quality. These systems use a sealed tube to gently move bulk materials like nuts and grains, preventing breakage and dust contamination. An Australian case study, highlights key benefits such as increased production capacity, with some facilities experiencing up to a 70% boost in output. Additionally, the gentle handling preserves fragile products, reduces waste, and improves hygiene by containing dust and spills. Operational efficiency is enhanced through seamless automation integration, and local support and customization ensure the systems meet the unique needs of each facility, optimizing operations and reducing costs.

Quality Equipment is Non-Negotiable in Food Production

Quality Equipment is Non-Negotiable in Food Production

Food safety is paramount, and the African Union, through the AFSA, is actively working to establish consistent standards across the continent. Foodborne illnesses have a devastating impact, causing significant deaths and economic losses. Therefore, careful selection and maintenance of food processing equipment are crucial. Poorly designed, inadequately maintained, or unsuitable equipment can lead to biological, chemical, and physical contamination risks. Choosing equipment that is easy to clean, built with safe materials, and compatible with food-grade cleaning agents is essential to prevent these hazards and ensure a safe and reliable food supply.
