1. Modular Process Systems
At the heart of EPIC’s expertise are custom-engineered modular process systems designed for both batch and continuous operations. From precise blending and mixing to complex separation, temperature control, and ingredient dosing, these skidded systems are pre-tested, transportable, and ready for rapid deployment—minimizing downtime and maximizing ROI.

2. Control Systems Integration
EPIC’s foundation in control systems gives them a unique edge in automation. Their team designs, builds, and programs control panels with seamless integration into plant-wide PLC and HMI environments. Whether it’s Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or a custom SCADA solution, they deliver control architecture that works from day one.

3. Packaging Line Integration
EPIC helps manufacturers boost packaging efficiency by integrating automated lines, robotics, and vision inspection systems. From line layout and equipment selection to installation and validation, their turnkey approach ensures every package meets both production and quality expectations.

4. Pilot Plant Design & Scale-Up
Transitioning a process from R&D to full-scale production is no small feat. EPIC specializes in pilot plant systems that retain lab process integrity while being designed for scale, flexibility, and eventual commercial rollout. It’s a bridge between experimentation and real-world production.

5. Utility & Support Systems
Great process systems rely on the right support infrastructure. EPIC provides Clean-In-Place (CIP) skids, pump systems, tank farms, and essential utilities to ensure operational readiness and long-term reliability. These systems are engineered alongside core processes for seamless integration and simplified maintenance.
Including CIP (Clean-In-Place), tank farms, pump skids, and process utilities—ensuring every system is supported with robust infrastructure.
