Turnkey food and beverage plants in the United Arab Emirates

In the United Arab Emirates MCF Technology builds plants that run on imported raw material processed inside industrial and free zones: tomato paste rework lines from aseptic drums into retail packs, juice and beverage lines, pasteurising, sterilising and aseptic filling units. The scope covers the feasibility study and mass balance, engineering, manufacturing, delivery, mechanical and electrical installation, commissioning and operator training, followed by technical support and spare parts.

Frequently asked questions

Can a plant run all year in the UAE?

Yes. Rework lines start from imported aseptic paste stored in drums or bag-in-box, so they are independent of the harvest season and run all year.

Is installation and commissioning included?

Yes. The supply covers delivery, mechanical and electrical installation, commissioning, capacity verification and operator training, followed by technical support and spare parts.

Which utilities must be ready before installation?

Three-phase power, saturated steam, compressed air, treated water and drainage. The utility balance is issued with the technical offer so the customer can prepare the civil works.

Do you prepare a bankable feasibility study?

Yes. Mass and energy balance, capex and opex estimates and payback are prepared in a format suitable for banks and financing institutions.
