Moving product in bulk from one operation to another frequently requires a container in the form of a Barrel or Drum. Millard fabricates sanitary barrels and drums built specifically for moving ingredients from Loss-in-weight systems, Ribbon Blenders, Mixers, Hoppers, Augers, Cluster Breakers, general product transfers, temporary storage, etc. to further mixing and processing operations (e.g. Prefilling, Cooking, Final Processing). Our Barrels and Drums are built rugged using stainless steel and are typically sized in 55 gallon and 140 gallon.

Millard PassPRO™, our large "In-House" Passivation operation, is available for our customers' fabricated items. We place a high priority on Sanitation in both our designs and fabrication processes which is why we have incorporated this process as a standard and can be found in our "Safety and Sanitation Design Standards". Passivation treatment is intended to improve the surface condition of stainless steel by dissolving iron that has been embedded in the surface during forming or machining. If allowed to remain, the iron can corrode and give the appearance of rust spots on the stainless steel. Passivation restores the original corrosion-resistant surface by forming a thin, transparent oxide film. Passivation is the preferred method for the sanitary durability of stainless steel.
Many operations need racks to store products, tooling, fixtures, supplies, or food grade ingredients. Millard is experienced in engineering custom racks to fit your application, process, or layout. We can Design, build, and install the racks as a pre-made unit, built-in-place, or modular components depending upon access and use. Our Racks are stainless steel and made following our Safety and Sanitary Design Standards.

This Vacuum Accumulator Unit is used in dry sausage peeling applications where the peeled casing is vacuum conveyed to the chamber and held within until the load is dumped into a combo or trash bin at breaks. A typical unit holds 250 lbs. of expended casing material in a three-hour time frame and can easily discharge through the 40" diameter opening and rack/pinion gate assembly. The R.T.E. grade unit is designed for high cleanability and ease of use and can be custom designed to fit within your workspace.
