- Job scope — Fresh Pet Food Production Facility - Looking for an experienced food processing / industrial engineer to design the production layout and machinery plan for a premium fresh dog food facility. - Product is fresh cooked dog food similar in format to Ollie, not canned/wet food and not kibble. - - - Kibble may be considered as a future Phase 2 expansion. - Initial production concept is approximately 300–800 kg/day, with room for future scaling. - Develop the complete production process flow, from raw-material receiving through finished-product cold storage. - Design an efficient factory floor layout showing machinery, workstations, cold rooms, storage, packing and sanitation areas. - Define hygienic separation between raw, cooking, post-cook, packing and finished-product zones to minimize cross-contamination. Review and validate our preliminary machinery list, including: Walk-in meat freezer Produce cold room/fridge #32 commercial meat grinder Heavy-duty vegetable dicer Industrial mixer if required Steam-jacketed kettle / appropriate industrial cooker Blast chiller Vacuum packaging equipment Stainless-steel preparation and packing tables Storage racking Washing/sanitation equipment - Recommend any missing equipment and identify anything unnecessary or oversized for the initial production volume. - Specify recommended machine capacities and sizes rather than simply naming equipment. - Calculate approximate electrical load, water, drainage, ventilation, refrigeration and other utility requirements. - Recommend workflow and equipment positioning to minimize unnecessary product movement and labor. - Account for food-safety/HACCP principles, washable surfaces, drainage, sanitation and Saudi food-production requirements where applicable. - Design the facility so additional automation and Phase 2 kibble production can potentially be incorporated later without unnecessarily rebuilding Phase 1. - Deliverables should include: Factory layout / floor plan Machinery placement plan Production-flow diagram Equipment schedule with capacities/specifications Utility requirements Recommended minimum facility area Expansion considerations Editable CAD/source files + PDF drawings - Applicants should provide examples of previous food factory, meat processing, ready-meal, pet-food or similar production facility projects. - Generic commercial-kitchen design experience alone is not sufficient. Preference will be given to engineers with actual food manufacturing/processing-line experience.

The critical part of this facility is not simply fitting equipment into a floor plan—it is creating a hygienically separated raw-to-cooked workflow while maintaining practical throughput at 300–800 kg/day and allowing future expansion. My approach would be to: 1. Map the complete process flow and material/personnel movement. 2. Establish raw, cooking, post-cook, packing, and finished-product zones. 3. Review and size the proposed equipment against production capacity. 4. Develop the layout together with preliminary power, water, drainage, ventilation, and refrigeration requirements. I can provide an editable CAD layout, production-flow diagram, equipment schedule, utility estimates, minimum-area recommendation, and expansion provisions, with supporting documentation where applicable. The scope is based on the current description and includes up to 2 revision rounds. No fabrication or physical testing is included. Would you like the initial layout optimized around a specific available building footprint?

Hi There!!! Designing the production layout and machinery plan for your fresh dog food facility sounds like a detailed industrial engineering project worth planning carefully from the ground up. The full production process flow can be developed from raw material receiving through to finished product cold storage, keeping hygienic separation between raw, cooking and packing zones central to the layout. Your preliminary machinery list can be reviewed and validated, recommending appropriate capacities and flagging anything missing or oversized for the current three hundred to eight hundred kilogram daily volume. Electrical load, water, drainage, ventilation and refrigeration requirements can be calculated alongside a workflow that minimizes unnecessary product movement and labor. The facility will be designed with HACCP principles and Saudi food production requirements in mind, while leaving room for Phase 2 kibble expansion without rebuilding the initial layout. A quick chat would help review your preliminary machinery list and site details before starting the layout work. Best Regards, Hussain Ahmed
