Narrow margins, aging plants, increasing competition — today’s dairy plant operators are under enormous pressure to solve challenges such as these without overspending on capital projects. This often means extracting as much value as possible from equipment vendors by compelling them to take on design responsibilities — responsibilities that should instead fall to a qualified engineer with expertise in the dairy industry.
While this practice may reduce upfront spending, it could lead to compliance issues at best or, at worst, significant safety risks for workers in your plant.
