Breadcrumb Waste Issue Solved
George Weston Foods Baking Division are a behind a number of iconic New Zealand bread brands. They contacted EQM for help solving a problem with breadcrumb waste building up and making their production process inefficient.

Hygienic, Stainless Steel Geardrives Ensure No Contamination
Barkers New Zealand is a well-known NZ producer of fruit preserves, jams, pickles, and even wine. They faced a problem when the geardrive running their production system, which featured a painted, cast iron geardrive, began to flake, causing the possibility of serious contamination issues.
The EQM studied their system and were able to recommend a Clean-Geartech stainless steel gearbox and motor, custom-made to fit to their existing system. Stainless Steel is the superior choice for food production systems as it is easy to clean and does not corrode.
Custom Fruit Labelling Builds Brand Awareness
Fruit Growers Diana & Grant Baird developed their own brand of “Diana’s Peacharine”, and came to EQM for help developing a fruit label and labelling system.
In the end they leased a fruit labelling machine from EQM, which is only required during the harvesting season, so it is cheaper to lease than to buy; and they leaned on the EQM team’s experience to help them create a label design that would suit their brand identity.

The EQM team took those ideas, applied our experience with similar situations and developed a comprehensive layout plan including 3D concept drawings.
The result is a system that is clean, fast, efficient and improves the company’s production line process and bottom line.
