Creating Together : an open, collaborative, responsive process

Our approach to collaboration means your input is just as important as our expertise. The result? Fit-for-purpose machinery with features tested over thirty years. We call it Creating Together, an approach that delivers performance in everything from hygienic design and cleaning to optimum safety, waste reduction, product consistency, and ease of operation.
Here’s how it works.

Defining your challenge

Assessing your goals and challenges ensures we understand what you need from your equipment.

Consultation

You’ll meet with PTL to discuss your application, contractual requirements, budgets, and timelines, all under strict confidentiality. You’ll also be taken through how we approach unique design and build applications

Designs

After a kick-off meeting with you, our team goes to work. They’ll consider your space, workflow, goals, and existing equipment to produce basic models, sketches, layouts, and process-flow diagrams for you to review.

Iterations

You’ll have the chance to review the designs, and work with the PTL team to make any adjustments, so you know it will suit you exactly.

Design approval

Happy? Give us your sign-off and we’ll move on to the next step.

Manufacturing process

Using our refined and tested manufacturing processes, we’ll manufacture your equipment to exact specifications.

Installation, commissioning and training

We’ll train your team and work with you to ensure the installation, testing, and production start-up run smoothly.

Ongoing support

The health bar industry is moving fast – our approach keeps your manufacturing process ahead, whether you’re in the granola, cereal, health, protein, or snack bar production game.

Customizable cereal, protein, or granola bar production lines
– the benefits

With PTL, instead of you having to adapt to standard machinery, our solutions adapt to you. This saves you money, without compromising on efficiency or flexibility. You’ll also get continuous support from our responsive team.

Fit into existing lines

Rather than retrofitting your existing bar production lines to suit new machinery, your modular bar machinery will be customized to seamlessly connect to what you already have.

Address your particular pain point

Trying to make generic machinery resolve your specific issues can often mean too much compromise, additional work, and extra cost. With customized cereal, protein, or energy bar machinery, you side-step those issues.
