packaging line,” says Jansen. “There will be a hose from the kettle through the pump to the packaging line, where the plastic units for the ready meals are filled. This is used for a variety of foods, which helps to support multifunctionality.”
Traceability and transportation Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) recording, the documentation of food safety procedures, monitoring data, and corrective actions required to prove compliance and control hazards is standard across the Metos Proveno range of equipment. “This means users can look back at the data
for 30 days,” says Jansen. “It can be connected to the internet for traceability, so you can track exactly which batch was made on which date, in case of errors.” Food is transported safely and cost-
effectively in sealed bags that extend shelf life. This approach improves portion control, prevents
waste and reduces transport weight and space needs. “Transporting food in bags or containers is much more hygienic and makes it perfect for logistical purposes,” says Jansen. “With this equipment, food production facilities can now run a complete kitchen with only two or three people, creating a significant advantage amid labor shortages.”
Building a reliable, resilient partnership This technology has made significant contributions to addressing the global shortage of trained personnel. The use of dark kitchens is increasing as operators adopt these solutions to improve efficiency. These facilities produce meals for restaurants that don’t require specialized chefs and can be transported easily. “This was a successful project because of the strong cooperation between all partners,” says Zacharias. “The project created a modern and reliable production environment and the company is most proud that this investment created a strong foundation for future growth.” Looking ahead, Lekos Group’s kitchens
are ready to be equipped with 12 more kettles and mixpans, highlighting a promising future of continued growth. With this intuitive technology to help mitigate labor shortages, businesses such as Lekos Group, through partnering with equipment experts like Metos, prove that innovation and collaboration will be the key ingredients to navigating complex industry challenges ahead.
