Unchanged programme
Meanwhile, nothing has changed in
de Klokslag Engineering's actual programme.
The subcontractor builds equipment
for cheese making, cheese presses
in closed CIP-capable design, equipment
for mould handling and brine baths. But
all this on a really large scale. Technical
manager Henk Simon Ferbeek describes
it this way: "Our installations start from
capacities of 100,000 litres per day. The
largest installation so far has a daily capacity
of 5 million litres, divided into four
lines. Currently, our machines can produce
up to 12 tons of cheese per hour."
"Presses and salt baths are our core business,
plus installations for portioning and
draining if necessary," IJntema specifies,
"And of course we have also got the service
business back on its feet."
When it comes to brine baths, de
Klokslag can serve with both traditional
large self-built racks as well as with single
and flush-out baths, guided and unguided.
All systems are constantly being
developed further, and robot technology
has long since found its way into de Klokslag's
systems. Relatively new in the range
are the "Conomatic" whey removal towers,
which are currently being installed in
a large dairy.
"What makes our solutions very special
is that they are always dimensioned
for the total output of a cheese dairy," explains
IJntema. "This means that our machines
and lines are never the bottleneck
in a cheese plant, but are always aligned
with the downstream performance."
In addition to the machines, de Klokslag
also offers services such as planning,
engineering, automation, installation
and technological consulting. In the current
team of 90, 30 employees each are
responsible for engineering and automation,
45 work in assembly, and only a few
employees are assigned to overhead. In
the long term, de Klokslag Engineering intends
to further expand its workforce.
