What Is Food Pilot Plant? The Top 4 Benefits of a
Pilot Plant. Feasible long-term
alternative. What Is the Cost of a Pilot
Plant? The FRL Contract RD pilot plant contains
the following areas.

WHAT IS FOOD PILOT PLANT?
The food pilot plant is a scaled-down facility
designed to mimic the production of food and
beverages. It enables manufacturing companies to
experiment with and develop test products in
industrial settings (up to 1,000-litre
batches). Contd...
4
The factory serves as a link between product
development and full-scale commercial
production. It incorporates a variety of
portable production equipment and is intended to
meet a variety of applications. When scaling a
novel process, a lot of money is on the
line Contd...
5
Bringing a lab-scale process directly to a
commercial facility puts you and your investors
at risk, even if you've generated reaction data
and theoretical models defining every aspect of
the process. Calibrating for modifications to
raw materials and process equipment is a vital
step in getting your product to market safely
and effectively. Food contact manufacturing is
another aspect that helps companies scale up a
business.

THE TOP 4 BENEFITS OF A PILOT PLANT
A PILOT PLANT HELPS GATHER PROCESS
DATA. Instrumentation and sampling locations
abound in Pilot Plants, allowing you to obtain
precise process data throughout your process.
Contd...
8
For a future production-scale process system, you
may utilize this data to refine and precisely
forecast the following information. Effects of
recycling streams. Purity of the product. Waste
processing. Estimates of yield that have been
refined Contd...

ONE CAN TEST COMMERCIAL-GRADE MATERIALS AND
EQUIPMENT IN A PILOT PLANT. When pricing raw
materials for commercial usage, you're likely to
experience price shock. When you're no longer in
the lab, you'll notice that high-quality raw
materials are more expensive when purchased in
bulk
Contd...
10
You'll almost certainly need to modify the
quality of your supplies, which can significantly
impact your procedure.
Furthermore, commercial-grade equipment performs
differently than lab equipment and, in most
circumstances, requires distinct materials of
construction. RD pilot plant manufacturers
provide solid data to support the scale-up of any
business. The success of any process scale-up
project depends on thoroughly testing how these
modifications will affect your approach. You can
prevent costly mistakes on a larger scale by
trying these modifications on a smaller scale
first while still getting a good deal.

FOOD PILOT PLANT FACILITIES
If you hurry to launch a product to beat your
competitors or don't want to miss any food
trends, the pilot plant helps you do the tasks
fast. You can utilize the product from your
pilot plant to evaluate process feasibility and
return on investment for investors, distribute
samples to customers to create a customer base,
or begin selling your product outright. Contd...
12
How you use the products from the pilot plant is
entirely up to you. The idea is that having a
pilot plant allows you a variety of choices for
swiftly and safely bringing your product to
market.
13
A PILOT PLANT IS A FEASIBLE LONG-TERM ALTERNATIVE
While many pilot plants are retired once the
commercial process is completed, other firms keep
their pilot plants to develop speciality
formulations long after the commercial operation
is completed. As your firm grows, you may
reassign your pilot plant to test formula
modifications on existing formulas or new
product lines.
14
WHAT IS THE COST OF A PILOT PLANT?
You're probably wondering how much a pilot plant
will cost now that you know how it can assist you
to avoid the commercial and technical pitfalls
of growing your business. The answer is
determined by a mix of capital cost elements and
the competence of the pilot plant manufacturer
you choose to oversee your project. Contd...
15
Food pilot plant consultants allow you to
estimate project costs. Food Research Lab
offers food processing pilot plant services to
execute your research works, new product
developments and even contract to manufacture.

THE FRL CONTRACT RD PILOT PLANT CONTAINS THE
FOLLOWING AREAS
Five temperature-controlled rooms for
seafood. meat, and horticulture specialized
industrial-sized cold and freezer rooms. high
hygiene cool room for fresh product handling
Contd...
17
Warm space for the thermal operation of
fermentation Dry goods storage. Food-grade
certification controlled loading dock
areas. Contd...
18
With new technological advances happening every
week and the consumer demand always on the
change. food and beverage companies need to tie
up with contract manufacturing companies to
test, manufacture and scale their products.
