Embutidos Garriga is a sausage processing company founded in 1986 and located in Santa Eugenia de Berga (Osona).
The tradition of producing sausages and pork products in the Osona region dates back many centuries.
Since its inception, Embutidos Garriga has been transforming, adopting new technologies and producing new packaged fresh meat products.
At Embutidos Garriga, they only use raw materials that rigorously comply with the entire traceability process and are certified, requiring all their suppliers to guarantee the quality, freshness, and consistency of their products. Their commitment to product quality leads them to be very strict in the cutting and packaging processes.
In sausage packaging, nitrogen and oxygen play a key role in preserving the quality and safety of the product. Nitrogen, an inert gas, is used to displace oxygen inside the packaging, preventing the oxidation of fats and the growth of microorganisms that could alter the flavor, color, and texture of the sausage.
The Challenge
Initially, Embotits Garriga’s gas packaging method caused tray collapse, loss of organoleptic properties, and failed to meet market visual standards.
Product quality suffered, harming customer perception and market competitiveness.
The Solution: Dual generator capable of generating oxygen and nitrogen.
The equipment provides information on the quality of the gases generated continuously, 24 hours a day. This provides high security as it allows for full traceability of the quality of the mixture and, therefore, of the product in question.
Results
The solution implemented by GasN2 has had a significant impact on Embutidos Garriga’s operations, with notable results:
- Economic savings by eliminating inefficiencies in the traditional system.
- Reduction in CO₂ emissions associated with gas transportation.
- Energy efficiency (on-site production). Cleaner and more efficient production.
- Reduction in logistics costs.
- Process optimization, increasing efficiency and reducing operating costs.
- Total control of gas quality, monitored remotely.
- Preservation of organoleptic properties, improving the perception of quality.
- Improved product presentation and reduced exudate.
The implementation of GasN2’s dual oxygen and nitrogen generation system at EMBUTIDOS GARRIGA has represented a significant advance in terms of operational efficiency and sustainability. Thanks to this solution, the company has managed to improve the organoleptic properties of its products and thus meet market visual standards. Product quality has improved, ensuring greater market competitiveness.
This success story demonstrates how technological innovation can transform industrial processes, providing sustainable and cost-effective solutions that significantly improve the quality of the final product. EMBUTIDOS GARRIGA reaffirms its commitment to excellence, energy efficiency, and reducing environmental impact, consolidating its position as a benchmark in the food industry.
