Who is Ashton Food and what do we do?

Why Should a large company consult a consultant???

Even the largest manufacturing company doesn't design more than one plant a year. A peanut plant consultant designs plants every day. Unlike large company engineers who come and go, Ashton's engineers are in the business of designing peanut installations. We've been doing it for more than 25 years.

The basic steps in making peanut products are simple. The know-how needed to design a plant that will make a product that can compete in today's competitive market is complex. Even in an established industry such as ours, there are always improvements to be made.

That's why two heads are better than one. We can present alternatives that will help even your best engineer arrive at the optimum solution.

The decisions you make when you design a processing line will help determine your product's position for years to come. Changes made later for items overlooked now can be very costly. We can help you weigh all the available options-such as providing for future expansion and diversification.

Your plant engineer knows he is responsible for decisions involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. You may be sure he wants to know he hasn't overlooked anything and that he can discuss his problems with someone who "speaks his language." We speak his language. And this is why, after we carefully review these design projects, the problems get solved quickly, and we hear grateful remarks.

Let's say you want to improve your present processing methods and upgrade your equipment. As experts in both product and process, we can recommend solutions based on what you need, rather than what the equipment salesman wants to sell you.

A well designed plant layout is all important. The more straight foward the flow from raw material to finished product, the easier it is to supervise the plant, keep it clean and operate it efficiently. What happens when the only way you can expand your plant is by putting larger equipment into your present space? What modifications can be made to fit it properly and still make your product flow and your plant layout efficient? And what changes will the machinery supplier make without extensive price increases? Do you want to design a multi-product plant? We can be especially helpful to you in addressing these concerns. By preparing a feasibility study outlining different approaches we can help you establish which combination represents the best potential for your needs. This can include up to a dozen combinations with close cost estimates from which management, engineering and/or marketing can determine in which way a specific investment will be most beneficial.

Call or write us, and let's set up an interview. You'll tell us about your basic concept. We'll tell you what we think. Then you can decide whether we can do business together.
