Food Processing Machines in Ghana

Ghana's food processing enquiries cluster around two things: cocoa, and fruit that arrives all at once. Cocoa is rarely bean to bar. More often it is roasting, winnowing, liquor and butter pressing, with the finished product going to an established brand rather than a new one.

Fruit is the harder engineering problem. Pineapple, mango and citrus come in a rush and then stop, and a line sized for the peak sits at a fraction of capacity for two thirds of the year. Where a crop is seasonal we will usually propose a smaller continuous line with buffer storage, or one that switches between two crops with a changeover rather than a rebuild. It costs less to buy and considerably less to run, and we would rather argue that at quotation stage than sell you the larger machine.

A good share of this equipment goes into district factories under government industrial programmes, where the specification has to satisfy procurement as well as work on the floor. We supply the technical file in the format the tender asks for, and quote to Tema or Takoradi depending on where the plant sits.
