Lynchborough-GPM was approached by Maltra foods in 2002 to design, supply and install a mixing system to consist of manual hand additions into a  ribbon mixer then to discharge into a packing machine.
Lynchborough set out to design a system to achieve this whilst keeping some key objectives in mind: design a system to fit within the clients budget, operator friendly, achieve in excess of expected production output, low maintenance and most importantly to design the system to fit in with the ‘Master Plan’ which is a future plan to have the plant semi automated and expandable.
Since then Lynchborough-GPM has worked closely with Maltra Foods on many further upgrades to the point now of achieving the ‘Master Plan’ which includes, two mixing lines automatically batched & weighed, via a ‘gain in weight system’ from a 35 tonne bulk sugar silo, three bulk bag dischargers for macro ingredients & hand dumping for minor ingredients. Bulk materials are vacuum pneumatically transferred to the weigh hoppers. Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) for moving finished product to the packing room which now consists of five packing lines including six IBC dischargers.
