About PINAR 

PINAR is a leading brand in the food industry. The company produces an extensive range of products in the dairy, meat and soft drink sectors for consumers who care for high quality. Though the brand originated in Turkey, it continues to conquer other markets with its focus on uncompromising quality and constant improvement. 

Initially, PINAR emerged as a strong brand in the milk and dairy sector, but over time it has also realised a wide range of accomplishments in other areas of the food industry, including the development of the first: healthy long-life milk, ready-to-serve mayonnaise, cream cheese, frozen meat products, packaged turkey products and non-returnable bottled drinking beverages. 

Today, PINAR is well-known as the most trusted and highly rated for consumer satisfaction within the dairy, beverages and meat sectors. 

How did the production line look like?

PINAR contacted us to help them optimise their production lines. We started with the analysis of the initial situation. The company relied on the OEM belt for separating the turkey meat from bones, which: 

• required cleaning 2 times per day,
• lifetime was 24 days, or around 200 tons of separating product.

Together, we decided to run some tests using our newly developed belt - MegaSquezee. This truly endless TPU based belt with aramid cord inside was designed for meat separation and could contribute to enhancing the production line’s efficiency and cost savings.

What were the results?

Higher effectiveness and cost savings

In the same working time as the original belt, MegaSqueeze guaranteed unsurpassed effectiveness and cost savings. The total cost of ownership was worth investing, even at the around 30% price difference. PINAR is now saving over 6000 euros annually!

Longer belt life

After 5 weeks of performance, there were no signs of wear on the belt. Only after almost 2,5 months of use did the belt minimally elongate. 

Less downtime and cleaning 

The tests have proven that over the course of the year, PINAR would have scheduled 2,5 times less downtime (to fit or replace the belt) and cleaning.

High food safety level 

Megasqueeze provided high food safety level, but did not compromise the excellent performance.
