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.
