Powder Factory Upgrade

At Axxello, we are proud to have partnered with Symrise South Africa in their ambitious project to upgrade their plant in Isando, Johannesburg. This significant undertaking was designed to enhance safety and quality across various production areas, with a primary focus on allergen separation, advanced dust extraction, and adherence to ATEX-rated zoning standards. By collaborating closely with Symrise, we provided the expertise and support needed to implement state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure, ensuring their commitment to excellence and safety in all operations.

Our team at Axxello are proud of the role we played in transforming the Powder Factory. The project introduced robust allergen separation protocols and specialised zoning to handle explosive dust atmospheres. Our contributions included the installation of fast-moving doors, advanced dust extraction systems, and ATEX-rated equipment, ensuring the Powder Factory’s operations are both safe and efficient. The reconfiguration of blending rooms with state-of-the-art blenders, vacuum extraction points, and robust drainage systems are testaments to our commitment to seamless and safe operations.

In addressing the challenges in the Liquid Factory, Axxello’s expertise was pivotal. We tackled major dust issues and fire safety concerns by relocating powder blenders and replacing non-ATEX-rated electrical equipment with ATEX-rated counterparts. Additionally, our modifications to the dust extraction system in the Savoury Powder Room have resulted in a cleaner and safer environment. These comprehensive upgrades across all factories underscore Axxello’s dedication to supporting Symrise South Africa in maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality in their production processes.
