With a diverse range of value-adding services on offer, Stahmann Farms has over 20 years experience providing inspirational ideas and solutions to the challenges of generating greater value for unique and varied markets. These services are offered to growers in conjunction with the processing of their nut-in-shell, or for kernel sent directly to us for value adding only.
Stahmann Farms' strong research and development capabilities can handle requests ranging from ideas simply needing refinement and execution, through to complex solutions to open-ended or undefined problems, regardless of intended domestic or international application.
Our dicing plant can granulate and size raw or roasted kernel in a wide range of sizes from large pieces down to meal to better suit industry requirements, especially for provision of ingredients to the confectionary, ice-cream and baking markets.
For roasting requirements, Stahmann Farms provides a
healthier alternative to traditional oil roasting with our continuous
gas fired dry-roaster. The reliability and consistency of the roaster,
combined with thorough quality assurance processes,
guarantee that the final product will always meet the most
stringent standards.
Stahmann Farms' commercial bakery and kitchen is renowned for the creation of gourmet products. With a dedicated staff of experienced cooks possessing a cumulative century of experience, no request is insurmountable. Producing cakes, puddings, biscuits, slices, brownies and various confections, the bakery provides the capacity to create niche products in bulk or under proprietary labels.
Packaging
Supplying unique and progressive solutions to pack, seal, print and palletise, Stahmann Farms views packaging as an opportunity to develop new and existing markets, and not just the necessary conclusion of the processing chain.
Retail packaging is undertaken on a vertical form-fill seal machine, capable of an output of up to 60 packs per minute. Utilising varying kinds of rewind, pack sizes from 30g through to 500g can be produced, with all packs nitrogen-flushed to optimise shelf-life and freshness.
Bulk and foodservice-oriented packaging is handled by Stahmann Farms' high capacity bulk-head weigher. Measuring out with precise accuracy 1kg, 2kg, 5kg, 10kg and 11.34kg (25lb) carton sizes, nut kernel is packed into foil pouches, which are both nitrogen-flushed and vacuum-sealed.
Unique to Stahmann Farms is the new offline printing station, with high-resolution printers for coding of outer case cartons. Superior quality TUN barcodes, graphics and texts are printed onto cartons in the exact quantity required, all with an integrated scanner that immediately verifies clarity of coding on each carton. This revolution in packaging technology allows clients to reduce cost by customising generic cartons at the point of packing.
All packaged goods can be stored in our finished goods warehouses, with over 1000 tonnes of cold-storage available. Stahmann Farms will organise international and domestic distribution ex-warehouse as part of our integrated service.
Through innovative application of leading packaging technology, Stahmann Farms is making cartons and packets work smarter in an ever more competitive market.
