Pilot trials

The Food Pilot has more than 90 food processing pilot devices. Food Pilot operators control the devices, performing the tests (usually) in the presence of the company. Results are owned by the client and are kept confidential. A List of pilot equipment can be downloaded, as well as an addendum with the new protein processing machinery.
