Facet Engineering’s Carrot Processing Line Project

Facet Engineering recently completed a comprehensive project for a carrot processing line, designing and installing a network of advanced conveyor systems. These systems efficiently handled the receiving, washing, sizing, sorting, packing, and conveying processes, ensuring seamless operation and high food quality standards.

To meet the client’s requirements, the design team developed detailed 3D computer-generated models of the factory, enabling virtual tours and precise adjustments before manufacturing began. This innovative approach ensured the final layout perfectly aligned with the client’s operational needs.

The 18-month project included complete facility renovations and plant expansions. The conveyor system featured 304 stainless steel construction, food-grade plastic modular conveyor belting, and direct geared motor drive arrangements for optimal performance.

Key Project Components:

  • Incline and decline belt conveyors
  • Multi-tiered product packaging stations
  • Carousel conveyors
  • Transfer and discharge chutes
  • Product baths and holding tanks
  • Sorting gates and lane splitters

Additionally, customized access gantries, walkways, platforms, and specialized support structures made from galvanized steel were incorporated to complement the machinery and enhance operational efficiency.

Thanks to Facet Engineering’s expertise in engineering design and production, combined with close client collaboration, the project was a resounding success. The upgraded plant significantly increased output capacity while maintaining compliance with all process specifications.
