Our team of experienced engineers works closely with clients to understand their specific needs, challenges, and future objectives. From batch size to cooking time, cooling techniques, and packaging requirements, the design process is focused on delivering equipment that meets your exact specifications, resulting in a streamlined, safe, and sustainable operation.

With decades of experience in the food processing industry, DC Norris North America understands the complexities involved in food production.

We have the ability to deliver at a massive scale when the operation calls for it and the insight to apply that knowledge to smaller operations, too.

One of the key benefits of working with DC Norris North America is single-point access to cutting-edge equipment from the world’s leading manufacturers. Our equipment portfolio includes industry-leading technologies such as Jet Cook™, which reduces cooking times by up to 50%, and Vacuum Cooling, which helps maintain product quality by rapidly cooling food products in a controlled environment. These innovations are designed to help food manufacturers reduce energy consumption, improve product consistency, and speed up production. Through DC Norris North America you can buy systems and equipment directly from manufacturers like BCH, Marel, and DC Norris without having to worry about how that equipment will integrate with your existing operation. Engaging DC Norris North America for process and equipment design allows you to bring in the expertise that saves you time sourcing, testing, and integrating equipment.

The Vacuum Cooling system, for example, not only helps preserve food quality but also uses less energy than traditional cooling methods. By rapidly cooling products using a vacuum, the system reduces the need for prolonged refrigeration, cutting down energy consumption and costs.

How Our Process and Equipment Design Service Works: From Consultation to Execution

At the heart of DC Norris North America’s process and equipment design service is a close collaboration with you. This ensures that the systems and equipment we design are perfectly aligned with your needs. Our process and equipment design engagements typically follow these steps:

We begin with an in-depth consultation where our team works to fully understand your production requirements and challenges. Whether it’s increasing batch size, improving product quality, extending shelf life, or saving energy, we listen to your goals and objectives and ask questions to provide the best possible solutions.

Once the requirements are understood, our team gets to work. We’ll design custom solutions based on your facility’s layout, your production needs, and future growth considerations. Throughout the process, we work to ensure that the design is flexible enough to scale as your business grows.

After the design phase, the equipment needed is either manufactured to the highest standards by one of our brand partners or sourced from another leading food machinery partner, rigorously tested to ensure it meets your specifications, and delivered. Our team can then handle or assist with the installation, ensuring that the equipment is set up correctly and integrated with your existing systems.

During and after installation, we provide training for your team to ensure they are fully equipped to operate and maintain the new systems.

Our comprehensive process and equipment design service helps food manufacturers begin and expand their operations efficiently, sustainably, and profitably.
