Assisting New Zealand companies go forward with great technology.

Ganley Engineering Ltd a family company, based north of Auckland, covers all of New Zealand. They are the country’s premier suppliers of manufacturing process controls systems and have been so for the past 25 years.

The company consists of Simon, Khamal and Gill Ganley, all of whom bring levels of expertise to represent NDC Technologies, exclusively, for advice, sales and service.

Ganley Engineering specialises in on-line and at-line process control.

Process control places NDC Technologies sensors in a manufacturing line to measure and control moisture, oil, fats, protein, brix, caffeine, nicotine and colour in real-time.

The sensors talk directly to the manufacturing machinery so that levels of moisture (and other components) are automatically and instantly adjusted to the top of the specification or yield.

The sensors also display exactly what is being made on trending SCADA screens so operators and management can monitor the production yields.

This means manufacturing companies save a lot on power consumption, staff time, scrap, downgrade and raw materials.

They also save on not having to do repetitive lab tests and having staff to run them.

Companies are now able to make products they could never have economically made before. The sensors can be placed above a line, into a fluid bed drier and in a variety of other locations.

They have no recalibration or maintenance schedules so are basically fit and forget.

NDC have tens of thousands of these sensors controlling a wide variety of applications world-wide, including NZ.

NDC Technologies is the world’s largest manufacturer of process control sensors. They work in closely with multi-nationals to develop solutions to meet specific manufacturing needs.

Ganley Engineering has in the past 30 years worked with many NZ companies and developed expertise in a variety of products.

A lot of the R & D developed in NZ flows through to the rest of the world. Examples of this include controlling biscuit manufacture with colour and moisture, automating cheese production, controlling panel board with moisture & resin and now high moisture fruit testing.

Ganley Engineering works closely with NDC Technologies and their agents to share knowledge.

Examples of what Ganley Engineering do include: controlling hamburger patty manufacture (animal and vegetable) by automatically controlling ratios. Controlling grape crushing for optimum yield. Controlling moisture, oil and colour in potato chips and fries.

Controlling moisture, fat (oil) and protein in fluid bed driers. Controlling moisture in building products. Controlling moisture, oil and protein in horticultural products at the harvester to control fertiliser application. Instant at-line analysis of meat fat (Ausmeat approved).

Control baked products at the oven by controlling the oven. Controlling the manufacture of fruit-based products for moisture, brix and colour.

They also take care of making confectionery, especially hard shell sweets and chocolate. Oh, and they control coffee roasting as well.

The ability to save energy and staff costs means a fast return on investment. With low finance rates now available, sensors can be leased with the payments pitched to be less than the savings. This means a company can be paid to increase their profits.

For most multi-nationals, this is a no-brainer.
