MEFSCO Solutions
Supply Chain Solutions
One of the most challenging areas for major manufacturers is how to improve operational efficiency and hygiene at the same time. Our bulk solution does both — and takes cost out while it does.
Bulk solutions
Eight things that change when the drums go away.
Measured against traditional transit in drum, bulk delivery changes the hygiene case and the cost case at the same time.
- 01 Higher food quality & hygiene standards
- 02 Efficiencies in the production process
- 03 Optimal temperature control
- 04 Cost effectiveness
- 05 Reduced labour
- 06 Less waste
- 07 Less storage space
- 08 Time saving
Bulk handling
Silo to silo, sealed the whole way.
Five steps between our storage tanks and yours, with a quality gate at each end and no human contact in between.
-
Filling
MEFSCO trucks are fed from the storage silos through stainless steel pipework in a closed system that meets food safety standards and holds product temperature. Quality assurance draws samples during filling to confirm the product meets every quality aspect.
-
Quality checks
As transfer proceeds, the quality team confirms every connection is tight and the system is closed to the outside environment, with no human contact. The customer receives product that is pasteurised, sealed and verified.
-
Transportation
Once filling is complete the tanks are sealed and temperature is checked and controlled. The truck leaves the facility for the customer site, with quality and temperature parameters maintained in transit for consistency on arrival.
-
Customer quality check
On arrival the customer’s quality team breaks the seal and draws samples for their own checks. Offloading then begins through their stainless steel pipes and hoses into their pumping station.
-
Offloading & pumping
Product transfers to customer storage silos through pumps designed for viscous liquids, with a flowmeter at the pumping station confirming the full quantity has moved. No human interference, and no storage space required.
Inventory management
Hold less stock, without holding your breath.
We can help you minimise the working capital tied up in starch and sweetener inventories by maintaining adequate stock in our food-safe warehouses, ready to deliver anywhere in the Middle East and Africa.
We can also support you in managing your inventory levels directly, with just-in-time delivery scheduled against your production plan.
