New Duynie Ingredients factory contributes toa sustainable food chain

In a new plant in Katwijk, Duynie Ingredients processes residual products from the food industry into pet food.

All processes are running on residual heat from a neighbouring biomass power station; the factory does not use any gas. The incoming raw materials are washed, dried, cut, sorted, and compressed if required. Actemium provided the complete automation of the factory, including control cabinets, the SCADA, and the MES with emphasis on an efficient and safe production process. The MES system guarantees full traceability; a requirement in the feed industry. The factory is contributing to a sustainable food chain, with Actemium as a technical partner for forward-looking projects. To this end, Actemium is deploying its CO₂ reduction methodology where, based on production data, the energy efficiency of the process can be further improved.
