Food Engineering Unlimited, Inc. was founded in 1982 by Russ Juergens after a 30 year career in Bakery engineering, research and management. The business evolved from the early days of representing a number of equipment suppliers to its present operation of designing and building many of the machines and conveyors it sells.

Today, in addition to our rather substantial conveyor business, we have also developed a significant food plant consulting business that covers the whole gamut of product process and production flow. We are well equipped to tackle just about anything we encounter in the food business from simple plant or line CAD drawings, production line movement of product from "point A to point B" to more complex mechanical and electrical integration of materials handling, make-up machines, conveyors, packaging and case handling systems.

We always say "let us build just one conveyor for you and youíll be hooked". That means that we believe youíll not only like our price but our quality and degree of professionalism as well. We will pay close attention to the details and will make certain that your conveyor is exactly as you want it. Then we hope that you will like our work well enough to let us bid on your next big job.

Visit our "Consulting Page" and you will see how we approach this part of our business. We have listed the types of services we offer. We have also outlined the potential steps in a typical feasibility study. If you require assistance in this area we would meet with you, at no charge of course, to determine the scope of your project. After an initial meeting we will be in a position to estimate the costs of our involvement in your project. Our experience with past projects tells us that you are likely to be pleasantly surprised at the costs. In any case, our approach is systematic and in the long run will undoubtedly save not only money but time as well. You are more likely to be on budget when the project is finished and less likely to make costly mistakes, which in the long run, will make everyone happy.

Our advantage in this area is our experience. Our people are long time pliers of their trades; professionals who have actively and successfully participated in many projects from moving large pieces of existing equipment to project management of new plants or production lines, to plant feasibility studies, to equipment design or electrical integration. Big or small, we welcome the challenge.
We invite you to check us out. Just click on the link below and tell us that you want to schedule a no obligation meeting. We think youíll be glad you did.
