Nutrilite, the world’s #1 selling vitamin and dietary supplement brand, has consistently set the standard for high-quality nutritional products. With a commitment to producing supplements from plants grown on their own farms, Nutrilite’s dedication to quality and sustainability is unmatched in the industry.

To remain consistent with its mission, Nutrilite sought the expertise of ASM (American Sheet Metal) for the design and fabrication of essential equipment in its production facilities.

ASM Project Overview

The Nutrilite project presented several challenges, mainly centered on maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and quality. Nutrilite’s products require a sterile and sanitary production environment. ASM had to ensure that all components were designed to meet various stringent requirements.

Of course, the ASM team delivered by working closely with Nutrilite to develop customized solutions that aligned with the company’s specific needs.

Capsule Chutes

Precision-engineered capsule chutes were designed to ensure the efficient flow of capsules throughout the production process.

Sanitary Stainless Steel SuperSak Bins

ASM fabricated sanitary stainless steel SuperSak bins to meet Nutrilite’s stringent sanitary standards. These bins were designed to safely store and transport raw materials, preserving their quality.

Stainless Steel Product Bin

Nutrilite’s commitment to quality extended to storage solutions. ASM provided a stainless steel product bin designed for durability and ease of cleaning, essential for maintaining product integrity.

Capsule Processing Machine Encasing

ASM’s expertise was applied to creating encasements for capsule processing machinery. These structures ensured the seamless operation of these critical machines.

Through-Floor Chutes

Through-floor chutes were engineered to streamline material handling between production floors. These chutes were designed for efficiency, allowing Nutrilite to maintain productivity and time management. 

Pharmaceutical Sorter

Nutrilite’s production process required a pharmaceutical sorter to separate capsules efficiently. ASM designed and fabricated this essential component, ensuring precision and accuracy.

Project Results

The collaboration between Nutrilite and ASM yielded remarkable results:

• Enhanced Production Efficiency: The custom-designed capsule chutes and through-floor chutes streamlined Nutrilite’s production processes, increasing efficiency while maintaining product quality.

• Sanitary Standards Compliance: The use of sanitary stainless steel in the SuperSak bins, product bin, and capsule processing machine encasing ensured compliance with Nutrilite’s rigorous sanitary standards.

• Quality Assurance: Nutrilite’s commitment to quality was upheld through precision engineering, allowing for the safe handling and sorting of capsules.

• Sustainability: Nutrilite’s focus on sustainability was maintained as ASM’s solutions were designed to withstand the test of time, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Conclusion

The partnership between Nutrilite and ASM showcased how innovation and collaboration can go a long way to ensure peak operations.  ASM’s commitment to quality and precision engineering seamlessly aligned with Nutrilite’s mission to provide high-quality products.
