Equipment for Sports Nutrition Manufacturing

With market growth comes increased competition and wider product variety, as both garage entrepreneurs and leading sports nutrition manufactures look to secure market share. Those manufactures looking to scale up production need the correct manufacturing equipment that will help them manufacture their products in a cost-effective way. Whether you are a start-up or established provider you can benefit from lean manufacturing by increasing production, reducing waste and ultimately maximizing profit.

As most producers now manufacture and deliver products covering everything from energy gels to protein powders, fast effective changeovers are needed. Regular recipe changes and varied batch sizes can be large amounts of downtime whilst equipment is being cleaned and re-fitted, but those using a Matcon system can reduce waste and minimise downtime.

The thought of long-term production efficiency is not always something to think about when you are starting out.  As your products succeed and you experience growth the marketplace becomes more competitive. Those manufacturers that want to scale up their manufacturing efforts will soon find that their material handling and powder processing equipment is an area that needs attention.

Small-scale sports nutrition manufacturers can grow quickly and with that production output and efficiency must improve. To ensure that your business gains a competitive advantage, there are some main factors. Ask you grow you will need to consider where you will store ingredients and what additional powders you will be handling as part of the manufacturing process. Whatever the product, it is always worth having expert advice from an experienced solutions provider for the sports nutrition industry.

Scaling up your production can be difficult, especially when you only have limited factory space and investment. That's when IBCs give you an advantage, ensuring that you increase flexibility and adapt as consumer preferences and demand changes. 

With such a wide range of customers, requirements and demands a flexible solution is a must. Matcon provides a range of innovative solutions to meet such demands, enabling sports nutrition manufacturers to quickly and effectively switch between the production of flavours and batch sizes without the risk of contamination.

In a competitive marketplace such as the sports nutrition industry, brand reputation is everything. Once you have built a loyal customer base you must do what you can to make the most of the opportunity.

Having the right equipment will mean that you can consistently manufacture a high level of product, perform regular quality checks and create an environment that promotes excellence. High manufacturing standards make gaining accreditation easier so it pays to know the best equipment for the job.

With wheat-free, dairy free and vegan diets also becoming leading consumer trends, manufactures in the health and well-being market must deliver on quality but without sacrificing production efficiency. Discover how IBCs can support manufacturers looking to establish clean, cost-effective production lines and meet the demand of consumers without sacrificing return on investment.

Many of our customers want to become more efficient, running a leaner operation but maintaining a high-quality product.  Whether you work in the sports nutrition industry or pharmaceuticals, food or even animal nutrition, your equipment must enable you to produce high-quality products in a cost-effective way.

To help you discover cost savings at the industrial mixing stage, we have developed an easy to use ROI Calculator.

To use the calculator you will need to enter a few simple values which will enable you to calculate the ROI that a tumble blending process will deliver.

If you had the ability to reduce the time you have to spend cleaning and increase the time you can be in production then your output will improve.

We estimate that some manufacturers using fixed mixers (ribbon blenders or paddle blenders) could lose at least 20% of the shift to cleaning time. As the blender must be fully cleaned and dried before changing recipes your whole production process must be halted. 

Read our guide to increase efficiency and ensure your resource time is spent producing high volumes of quality products and not cleaning and assembling a blender.
