Innovative Solutions
We solve big problems with new thinking.
At every step, we design it, build it, operate it, and continually optimize it. From research and development, to equipment and processes, empirical engineers everything to bring innovative solutions to food processing and production.
Hardware & Equipment
Design & Installation
empirical systems are designed, fabricated, assembled, and installed based upon individual customer requirements and suited to their operations.
Grinders/Grinding System – For either fresh or frozen protein trim. This system incorporates patented technology.
Sanitary Pumps – The ultimate in sanitary design and operation, used to move product through systems.
Air Wash System – This innovative system is engineered to clean and refrigerate the air for food processing facility needs. Our stainless-steel system is automated for routine self-cleaning.
Pasteurization System – Our patented system is a next-generation innovation in meat-based protein interventions. Culinary steam is mixed directly with proteins to instantaneously raise the temperature over 160F. The protein is then chilled in less than 0.3 seconds. We are the only producers equipped to pasteurize meat in this way within the necessary timescale.

Case Studies
The Problem
A ground meat processor building a new facility needed state of the art processing capabilities, including real time monitoring and controls
Our Solution
empirical companies designed, fabricated, constructed, installed, and provided monitoring software and support services.
Ground meat processor leases the installed equipment on a set charge per pound and empirical companies provide on-going maintenance and technical support services. The processor also pays empirical for real time monitoring and support services performed by empirical’s operations support center.
The Problem
Refrigeration and air handling systems in food processing plants can become harborage and distribution centers for bacteria throughout a facility.
Our Solution
empirical companies can design, fabricate, construct, and install customized refrigerated air sanitizing systems (“RAS”) for food processing facility needs.
Once installed, the RAS systems are capable of being monitored and controlled using empirical’s software and operations support services. Services can be provided via equipment purchase or lease, with on-going operations support via monitoring fees.
