Lamb Weston
Lamb Weston is one of the world's largest companies offering deep-frozen potato products and appetizers. BOONS FIS had already been responsible for the supply of spare parts and maintenance of the old cleaning installation with plunger pumps for a while. When this cleaning installation was due for renewal, we made a proposal with successful cooperation as a consequence.
It clicked between Lamb Weston and BOONS FIS right from the first discussions. A number of specific requirements for production were brought up, including a certain pressure and flow rate for the installation. The dimensions of the installation were also important because it had to be able to be installed at the designated place in the factory. Lamb Weston’s standard requirements for material choice also had to be respected. During the whole project there was close cooperation between both parties at different levels: service departments, engineering, commercial staff, etc.
The machine was fully built at the BOONS FIS workshop and fitted with all the latest technologies. The 40 bar pressure-booster unit is made up of centrifugal pumps and a PLC control from Siemens. The complete installation was also subjected to a FAT. This is a preliminary control carried out by Lamb Weston before the installation is shipped to their factory. After approval following the FAT the machine could be delivered and installed.
