Overview
Muscat Chips, part of Mohammed Riaz & Partner LLC, partnered with TNA Solutions to launch a new potato chips business in Oman. As a first-time snack manufacturer, the company required a complete line partner capable of supporting every stage of the project; from line design and layout planning through to installation, commissioning and ongoing support.
the ambition
As a newcomer to food manufacturing, MR faced the dual challenge of entering the snack food market with limited industry experience while building its first greenfield production facility. The project required more than equipment; it needed a partner with industry expertise, and strong aftermarket support. For many new entrants in the MENA region, success depends on a partner who can de-risk projects, simplify integration, and accelerate time-to-market.
the solution
TNA delivered a complete snack production line and guided MR through every stage of the project, from factory layout design and utilities planning to equipment installation and commissioning. The line was engineered to accommodate evolving requirements, including multiple layout revisions and provision for a future production line, while avoiding bottlenecks and ensuring seamless integration with other on-site operations. The installation included:
- tna ultra-cleanCOMBO™ 3.1 washer/destoner
- tna ultra-peelSKC™ 3
- tna thermo-wash™ HW 3
- tna conti-pro™ PC 3 fryer
- tna intelli-flav® OMS 5.1
- tna roflo® VM3 distribution systems
- tna robag® 3e VFFS packaging systems
- tna intelli-weigh® omega scales
- tna intelli-date® 5
