Kelson provided comprehensive mechanical services for the Kellogg’s Belleville Plant Expansion, supporting Project Zinnia’s $300 million capacity upgrade. The work included full integration of process and utility piping systems to serve both existing operations and future growth, with core systems such as TSSA-registered high-pressure steam, condensate return, plant compressed air, and multiple water systems—including potable, non-potable, and ingredient-grade water.
For HVAC and process cooling, Kelson installed hot glycol and chilled water distribution systems feeding nine air handling units for building conditioning, humidity control, and makeup air. The process mechanical scope supported a wide range of food manufacturing equipment—including cookers, dryers, conveyors, and packaging machinery—using welded 304 stainless steel piping to meet sanitary and washdown requirements. Key infrastructure includes multiple high-capacity pumps, chillers, cooling towers, and a steam-to-glycol heat exchanger skid to ensure reliable thermal transfer. Centralized foam and sanitizer distribution systems were also implemented to maintain stringent hygiene standards.
These mechanical installations form the backbone of the upgraded facility, enabling higher production throughput, improved energy efficiency, and long-term operational reliability while supporting Kellogg’s consolidation and modernization objectives.
