Located in Kongsvinger, Norway, the factory of Salsus AS is preparing for its grand opening. Starting on the 8th of May 2018, Salsus will launch its production of additive-free bone broths and sauces from valuable animal bone raw materials. To make the jump into successful production an actuality, Salsus was assisted by Finnish-based Coctio. 

As the leading global provider of advanced turnkey processing solutions for bone broth, soup, and sauce production, Coctio has developed a method to help the food industry with both product development and bringing natural, clean label food products and applications to the market. Known as Coctio Standard Bone Broth and Sauce Production Line, this turnkey solution for Salsus first started with planning and assembling the line, followed out in the summer of 2017 with module pre-installation at the headquarters of Coctio Ltd. After completing both module-based and operational testing, the production line could now be smoothly installed at the customer’s facilities.

What soon followed – between August 2017 and March 2018 – was the physical delivery of a wide range of production modules to the Salsus factory; including modules for roasting, cookers and filtration, storage tanks, an evaporator, by-product processing, and more.

Altogether, Coctio’s services for Salsus included the following:

  • Design and implementation of the Coctio Standard Bone Broth and Sauce Production Line
  • Planning of the factory layout
  • Pipe planning, construction, and support
  • Installation and commissioning of the line
  • Execution of factory automation and data sourcing
  • Electrical wiring work at the Salsus factory
  • Training of the customer’s production operators
  • Production management and product development support: provided expertise in the design and development of broths and sauces, along with pre-production testing

In addition to these, a team of Coctio professionals have offered consultation and assisted with the planning of the Salsus factory’s infrastructure – along with necessary acquisitions and system installations such as the facility’s air conditioning, sewage system, steam and gas measuring, and pneumatics.
