EHL can now offer non-allergen products under our Lähde brand
UK based ingredients manufacturer EHL Ingredients has overhauled its production processes to completely segregate lines for ingredients containing allergens and non-allergen products to meet increased customer demand. The company has installed three new pieces of machinery in its third site on Broadstone Industrial Estate to reduce risks of cross-contamination of products during production and handling.
EHL can now offer non-allergen products under our Lähde brand to customers with complete confidence that no cross-contamination has occurred at any point during product handling and production.
New machinery includes a state-of-the-art Star Auger automatic filling machine, which will portion and dispense dried herbs and spices, and a new PFM Zenith Bagmaker from The Food Machinery Company in Kent, which will handle blended powders, grains, seeds and beans – all for non-allergen lines – and will fill 150g, 250g and 1000g packs.
In addition, EHL has installed an automated labeling machine supplied by Advanced Dynamics to speed up the adhesion of labels, as they were previously attached by hand, and will enhance the final presentation of products. It too will be dedicated to the non-allergen lines meaning all the ingredients will be separated from products containing allergens, even when labels are being attached.
These three new machines will enhance production, speed and efficiency on the non-allergen lines and provide further guarantees that no cross contamination has occurred at any point during the handling of the products.
