How Golden Fry Scaled Their Cooking Oil Packaging Operations with Filmatic

#cookingoil #Production #bottling #foodmanufacturing

Golden Fry is a proudly South African company, known for producing high-quality cooking oils that are used in households, restaurants, and food service businesses across the country. As their customer base expanded, so did their packaging needs. From 330ml round bottles to 5L PET bottles and 20L buckets — they needed to scale without compromising quality.

That’s when they partnered with Filmatic.

Together, we built a solution that allowed them to increase output, improve consistency, and run production with minimal downtime. The result? A smooth, automated, and future-ready packaging operation.

In short — they needed equipment that could scale as the business did.

👨🍳 Who is Golden Fry?

Golden Fry offers a wide range of cooking oils — sunflower, palm, and coconut — along with complementary food products like sugar and vinegar.

What makes their product stand out is the quality. Their oils are:

• ✅ Heart & Stroke Foundation approved
• ✅ Low in cholesterol
• ✅ High in polyunsaturates
• ✅ Enriched with antioxidants and anti-foaming agents
• ✅ Suitable for cooking, baking, roasting, frying, and even salads

Whether it’s a small bottle on a retail shelf or a 20L bucket used in commercial kitchens — the quality stays consistent.

🔧 The Packaging Challenge

Golden Fry was growing — and their previous setup couldn’t keep up.

They had to run multiple container sizes across different product lines and needed a solution that was:

• Fast enough to keep up with demand
• Flexible enough to handle different container sizes
• Reliable and low maintenance
• Accurate, with minimal product waste
• Easy to run day after day, without slowing down

In short — they needed equipment that could scale as the business did.

🤝 Our Approach: Building the Right Solution Together

Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all system, we worked closely with Golden Fry to understand their product flow, production goals, and space requirements. Together, we developed and installed three tailored packaging lines, each designed to serve specific product formats:

1️⃣ 330ml Bottles – 36-Head Level Filling Line

This line is all about speed. It fills small round bottles at high volumes — ideal for retail and supermarket distribution.

• ✔ High-speed automation
• ✔ Accurate level-based filling
• ✔ Smooth product flow.

2️⃣ 5L PET Bottles – 18-Head Piston Filling Line

This line offers precise volume control for mid-size bottles. It’s built for consistency, especially with thicker oils.

• ✔ Low Vacuum Filling technology ensures accurate dosing
• ✔ Consistent fills across every bottle
• ✔ Designed for mid-speed, high-volume output

3️⃣ 20L Buckets – 4-Head Inline Pump Filling Line

This system is built for bulk packaging. It’s efficient, reliable, and fills large containers with minimal spillage.

• ✔ Handles heavy-duty buckets with ease
• ✔ Food-grade compliant
• ✔ Built for reliability and reduced product loss

💡 The Results: What Changed for Golden Fry?

Since installing these three lines, Golden Fry has:

• ✅ Increased daily production capacity across all formats
• ✅ Reduced downtime and simplified maintenance
• ✅ Achieved more consistent product quality
• ✅ Lowered packaging waste through accurate filling
• ✅ Improved their readiness to scale as demand grows

All this was achieved while maintaining their strict product standards and health certifications.

More importantly, they now have a system that supports growth without constant manual intervention or high maintenance costs.

👥 The Relationship Behind the Project

This wasn’t just about equipment. It was about building a partnership.

From the start, our teams worked side-by-side — planning layouts, running tests, refining timing, and making sure every detail worked for their production team.

We believe long-term success comes from listening first, then delivering exactly what’s needed. That’s what we did here — and we’re proud of the result.

🧭 Key Takeaways for Manufacturing Leaders

If you’re a production manager, factory director, or decision-maker in food and beverage:

• The right machine in the wrong place still causes problems — layout matters.
• Automation works best when it simplifies processes, not when it complicates them.
• Packaging systems must support growth, not stall it
• Real efficiency is not about how fast your machines go, but how little they stop.
• The right partner listens, adapts, and delivers solutions that last
• A well-maintained line performs better for longer
