Turnkey Further Processing Facilities
One partner for process engineering, hygienic facility design, utilities and commissioning — engineered around your products, process flow and food safety.
Since 1958 — Danish food-plant engineering
200+ projects completed worldwide
Supplier-independent — no in-house manufacturing
A further processing plant turns raw material into sausages, cooked and smoked products, ham and bacon, and value-added convenience foods. Its performance is decided long before the first line runs: by how process engineering, hygienic facility design, refrigeration, utilities, automation, packaging and logistics are brought together into one production environment.
INTERCOOL delivers further processing facilities as complete Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) projects, from concept to commissioning. The same EPC approach also covers fresh retail and canning & retort facilities.
In a further processing plant, food safety starts with the layout. These are the principles we engineer into every facility:
The process technology follows from the products you want to make — sausages, cooked and smoked products, ham and bacon, or value-added convenience foods. The technologies we integrate in further processing facilities:
INTERCOOL does not manufacture equipment. Solutions for red meat, poultry, fish and other food products are developed together with trusted specialist suppliers worldwide, with the focus on the right combination of design, process technology and material selection. How these technologies shape the building around them: further processing technologies. Frozen output can be stored in a cold store planned in the same project.
Refrigeration is specified, tendered, reviewed and commissioned by INTERCOOL as part of the project; the detailed refrigeration design is carried out by the specialist refrigeration partner.
Every facility is engineered around products, process flow, food safety, utilities, logistics and future expansion requirements. The aim is a plant that delivers on four points:
Start with your product portfolio. Tell us which products you want to make, in what volumes and on which site — that is enough for a first concept.
| Phase | What happens |
|---|---|
| Define | Products, capacity and site: the product portfolio, volumes and the business case that set the plant’s size |
| Engineer | Process, building and utilities: the production flow, hygienic zoning and raw/cooked segregation, rooms and utility systems |
| Procure | Specialists’ systems selected for each process step, from processing lines to packaging |
| Construct | Coordinated site execution across process, building and utility disciplines |
| Commission | Test, optimise and hand over a plant ready for production |
The objective is robust throughput, consistent ingredient quality, safe operation and a practical path from raw-material reception to high-value products. Further processing can be delivered as part of a complete plant under an EPC turnkey contract.
Concept and feasibility, process engineering, the building and its infrastructure, utilities and process support, procurement, construction and commissioning — delivered as one EPC project.
Yes. Projects range from extensions with new sausage lines and smoking facilities to project management of new further processing lines in an operating plant.
Sausages, cooked and smoked products, ham and bacon, and value-added convenience foods, for red meat, poultry, fish and other food products.
No. INTERCOOL is supplier-independent: the systems for each process step come from trusted specialist suppliers and technology partners, selected for the project.
Through the layout: raw and cooked product segregation, hygienic zoning and personnel flow control are designed into the facility from the engineering phase.
Your products, the capacity you need and your site.
Request a proposal, book an engineering consultation, or send us your product portfolio and capacity data — we will come back with what the plant has to deliver.
