A flavor extraction operation installs a new rotary knife cutter and increases uptime.
Givaudan processes these and other natural ingredients on a mass scale, placing high demands on its size-reduction equipment, grinding upwards of 6,000 lbs./hr. of ginger root, cassia bark or cola nuts and cutting about 3,000 lbs./hr. of vanilla beans to uniformly sized chips, within the relatively tight tolerances required for efficient flavor extraction.
