e have gathered an extensive knowledge base and developed working methods that are unique to us during over 40 years of activity.
The client’s original idea is initially validated by analysis of the proposed product, using laboratory tests and trials. Then a working protocol is produced that passes through various validation stages (financial, technical, legal, etc.).
This protocol enables us to provide an integrated service, guaranteed by our know-how.
We mobilise all our consulting, innovation, research, design, development, testing, installation, training and maintenance services to arrive at the required final product.
The client gains a bespoke ‘turnkey’ project, covered by the ceie 40+ warranty.
ur consultancy services are free (exceptions apply) and can take place at the start of a project or at an earlier stage to define:
- specific requirements;
- the project quote, or whenever a client needs their production processes to be analysed or a proposal to improve production processes or the final product.
Each consultancy service will conclude with a specific report and, where feasible, a concrete quote to execute the project.
Our consulting services are free and available 365 days a year.
nce the objective and budget for the project are established, our engineering teams move to the design and development stage.
Machinery is manufactured in its entirety in our four manufacturing centres; one in the Barcelona region, and three in Tarragona.
Each module passes through a testing process before being installed in our client’s factory, where the complete process is tested.
he processes of product innovation, research and development can take place in our clients’ facilities, at our facilities with our testing equipment, or in independent approved and validated laboratories, either in Spain or in other countries that may be more familiar with the specifications of the final product.
The production process is reproduced on a small scale and validated in collaboration with the client, so that the manufacturing equipment that will be used in the new project complies with the technical specifications and food safety standards required.
Our engineering teams will conduct in situ testing at the client’s facilities.
he equipment must ensure the quality of the food processed and the safety of the operatives that run the machinery, to comply with the relevant legislation and meet the most stringent quality and safety standards.
he technical specifications of each project must comply with the legal standards provided by each client, with their internal procedures and the legislation of the country and geographical location of the facility.
nvironmental regulations are continually updated, becoming increasingly stringent and comprehensive thanks to ever deeper environmental awareness. Our projects make maximum energy savings, minimise emissions as far as possible, and provide for water recycling and clean renewable energy use. All projects use technical solutions that allow the most demanding environmental challenges to be met, and are adaptable to future requirements.
ncreasing energy efficiency is obligatory when designing new projects. Heat recovery systems, energy-efficient motors, renewable energy sources, or rationalising equipment use so that machinery switches off when not in use are all methods of achieving this. Equipment is designed and manufactured without the use of materials that consume unnecessarily high levels of energy.
he objective of our training service is to train the operatives who are going to use the machinery daily, either because the installation is new, or because new operatives are working on the line.
All projects are delivered with a Maintenance Manual, and 50% of projects are delivered with training days included.
egular maintenance of the facilities is recommended.
Our teams are available to carry out maintenance tasks as clients require.
All equipment is covered by a two-year warranty.
Spare parts are also covered for 25 years after installation of the equipment: this applies to both standard and bespoke parts.
Technical services and parts availability are almost immediate.
Client enquiries are dealt with within 24 hours and solutions provided within 72 hours.
Technical support for equipment maintenance and servicing is carried out by our own staff, and eventually with the assistance of local approved technicians.
90% of spare parts are standard, so can be supplied locally, which reduces down time, repair time and costs dramatically.
Technical operations can be scheduled for practically any day of the year.
