Story #51 is a second “sweet” project profile

It takes a lot to make and market a product. It also takes a lot to assure regulatory compliance as well as address needs such as increased capacity, routine maintenance and facility expansion. That's why manufacturers of everything from chocolate to steel turn to SSM when it comes time to secure prime locations, plan more efficient warehouses and distribution centers, conduct feasibility studies, upgrade utilities and building systems, improve traffic flow and expand operations. By taking the lead on the facilities engineering side, we enable manufacturers to focus more on their core business.

Production lines, filling lines, blending and mixing operations, conveyor systems, drying ovens and other equipment related to the food industry often require engineering solutions to hygienic handling problems, air contamination, and waste treatment and disposal. SSM has designed product conveying systems; exhaust systems to handle nuisance dust, toxic fumes, and fugitive particulates; and other processes and equipment.

SSM completed an air permit application for installation of a new coating process in the Reading facility.

SSM prepared SPCC plan and record drawing preparation for storm and sanitary lines.

SSM provided engineering services to design a CO2 reduction system for the packing and cold storage operation to reduce the CO2 levels to within the acceptable range, while still providing the temperature conditions required for the space without sacrificing operational efficiencies.
