Ofi: global cocoa producer with critical hygiene standard

Ofi has been a leading producer of cocoa semi-finished products for the food industry for 112 years. From cocoa beans to powder, butter and mass – every product has to meet strict hygiene requirements. A challenge, as contaminated product carriers can directly affect quality. To prevent this, Ofi sought a cleaning solution that was efficient, thorough and user-friendly.

Drums and filters were previously cleaned manually – a time-consuming and inconsistent process. This resulted in high labour costs and varying cleaning quality. Ofi wanted to automate these processes to save costs and create certainty about the cleaning result.

What we did

A customised tunnel washer that meets all requirements.

At Supura, we believe in solutions that fit seamlessly into the production environment. Together with Ofi, we analysed their current working methods and challenges. Based on this, we developed a modular tunnel scrubber, fully tailored to their vessels and filters.

Our solution:

Time and cost savings: automatic cleaning of multiple drums and filters simultaneously.
Optimised hygiene: a consistent cleaning result without manual variation.
Ease of use: the installation is easy to operate and maintenance-friendly.

To ensure that this investment was the right choice, we took Ofi through the process step by step. We showed similar installations and carried out extensive tests before the machine was installed. This way, they knew exactly what to expect.

The pure outcome

Automated cleaning: faster, more reliable and efficient.

The results speak for themselves. Thanks to the new washing installation, Ofi now cleans up to twice as fast. The consistent quality of the cleaning process ensures a hygienic working environment and prevents contamination of their end products.

Reduction in manual labour: employees can focus on other tasks.
Reduced operational costs: saving labour hours and more efficient water use.
Sustainable result: the machine continues to meet strict hygiene standards and can be easily adapted to future needs.

Our involvement does not stop at installation. We continue to work closely with Ofi to optimise the machine’s performance and make adjustments where necessary. Because at Supura, innovation never stops.
