Development and Engineering Integration of a Specialized Continuous Production Line for Oat-Based Dairy-Free Ice Cream
EF 2025-26 · 2025-04-01
Résumé
Oat & Mill is developing a custom continuous production line to scale its proprietary oat-based ice cream process. Unlike conventional oatmilk systems, this line must handle whole oats, including pulp and fiber.This requires novel engineering solutions. The project involves hiring a Project Lead and Engineering Consultant to design, integrate, and optimize the line for efficiency, food safety, and scalability. With IRAP support, the team will overcome technical uncertainties, reduce production costs, and enable commercial readiness for a one-of-a-kind, plant-based manufacturing system.

Description
Oat & Mill is developing a custom continuous production line to scale its proprietary oat-based ice cream process. Unlike conventional oatmilk systems, this line must handle whole oats, including pulp and fiber.This requires novel engineering solutions. The project involves hiring a Project Lead and Engineering Consultant to design, integrate, and optimize the line for efficiency, food safety, and scalability. With IRAP support, the team will overcome technical uncertainties, reduce production costs, and enable commercial readiness for a one-of-a-kind, plant-based manufacturing system.
Description (French)
Oat & Mill développe une ligne de production continue personnalisée pour mettre à l’échelle son procédé exclusif de fabrication de crème glacée à base d’avoine. Contrairement aux systèmes conventionnels de lait d’avoine, cette ligne doit traiter l’avoine entière, y compris la pulpe et les fibres, ce qui nécessite de nouvelles solutions d’ingénierie. Le projet prévoit l’embauche d’un prospect et d’un consultant en ingénierie pour concevoir, intégrer et optimiser la ligne en termes d’efficacité, de sécurité alimentaire et d’évolutivité. Avec le soutien du PARI, l’équipe surmontera les incertitudes techniques, réduira les coûts de production et permettra la commercialisation d’un système de fabrication à base de plantes unique en son genre.
