The new custom vat blocks for Colston Bassett Dairy are robust, food safe and designed around
certain specific environmental restrictions. Supported with FDA and EU food safety certification this redesign needs no assembly process and is more durable than the existing solution. By reverse engineering the existing blocks and designing for more appropriate manufacturing techniques I helped to produce 3D CAD and engineer drawings for a more efficient part. The new single part design reduces the risk of material becoming trapped, makes it easier for them to be cleaned and means there is no assembly process to have to consider. As part of the design team at Salsus Design Ltd, we have produced a design which takes into consideration the environment of the dairy the vat is situated in. With the varying space around the vat, we produced unique designs for the 8 separate vats so that they sit level during use. |
