Plant Wide Materials Handling Concept for New Manufacturing Facility
Early‑stage definition of intake, storage, batching, and screening to support multi‑material production.
Tofu Cat Litter Australia planned a new manufacturing facility requiring a materials handling concept that could manage three feedstocks while maintaining recipe accuracy, process reliability, and operator safety. The site needed a clear outline of the full handling workflow before committing to detailed project delivery.
The Client
The Problem
The client needed a well defined handling concept covering intake, storage, batching, screening, and waste management. The system also had to address potential blockages, provide safe access for maintenance, and support consistent production in a pet product environment.
