At the Centre we develop new end products, new processing procedures and techniques to meet our customers\u2019 needs and expectations. Once we produced the new products in our R&amp;D Centre, the parameters are recorded, and we can then upscale the extrusion plant to meet market needs. We then build and commission the commercial plant to produce the same product as developed in the R&amp;D Centre. There are two important components of our Research &amp; Development capabilities namely facilities and skills. The most technologically advanced R&amp;D facility means nothing without skills and knowledge of product development, and of course all the skills, knowledge and experience in the world can\u2019t come to use without the right equipment.<\/p>\n<p>We pride ourselves on offering both of these components \u2013 a highly skilled team with extensive experience in product development, as well as state-of-the art R&amp;D laboratory and facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Our facility in Potchefstroom, South Africa is fully equipped with an instant porridge line and we can produce 500 kg\/h of final product. Apart from basic processes to produce instant porridges we are also able to do fortification. We have all the equipment needed such as milling systems, sieving systems, drying and cooling systems, mixing systems with fortification, and a pre-conditioning system.<\/p>\n<p>Not only can we produce instant porridges by means of our twin-screw extruders and other equipment, but we can also formulate the recipes for various products such as breakfast cereals, texturized plant proteins, snacks, pet foods, aqua feeds etc.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243;
