New Factory Setup

We don’t sell “advice.” We deliver functional industrial plants.

We provide the engineering logic that 108-year-old manuals often miss. With 16 years of experience across India, Australia, and Canada, we bridge the gap between complex chocolate physics and floor-level production reality.

We offer 4 Verticals of Expertise:

• Cocoa Primary Processing: (Liquor, Butter, and Powder processing at 10 TPD+ scale).
• Craft to Commerce: (Scaling artisanal bean-to-bar quality into industrial yields).
• Industrial Mass Production: (Compound and Couverture lines engineered for stability).
• Confectionery & Enrobing: (Specialized lines for biscuits, bars, and center-filled products).

Fees

To maintain 24/7 technical oversight and engineering integrity, we only accept 4 new factory setups per year. The fees is 2% of the Total Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) subject to a Minimum Project Fee(see section 3), structured as follows:

1. 0.5% Commitment Fee (Upfront): Initiates the Preliminary Feasibility Report (PFR) and Resource Allocation. No technical data is shared prior to this payment. For discussion related to a new setup, please book a technical discovery session below.
2. 0.75% Milestone Fee: Due upon delivery of the Detailed Project Report (DPR), Engineering Layouts, and Process Piping Diagrams.
3. 0.75% Commissioning Fee: Due upon successful installation oversight, Recipe Standardization, and the production of the “First Commercial Batch.”

Deliverables

• Phase 1: Preliminary Feasibility (PFR) & Detailed Project Report (DPR).
• Phase 2: Engineering Layouts, Utility Mapping, and Process Piping.
• Phase 3: Recipe Formulation, Shelf-life Testing, and Tempering Logic.
• Phase 4: Global Vendor Network Access (Verified Machinery Procurement).
• Phase 5: Installation Oversight and Final Plant Commissioning.

Project Intent Form

Due to high demand and limited slots, we only engage with projects where capital is secured and intent is immediate.

Standard Terms of Engagement: New Factory Setup

1. Nature of Service

The “New Factory Setup” service is an industrial engineering and commissioning consultancy. Acceptance of a project is at the sole discretion of the Rudvik Engineers. Submission of the “Project Intent Form” does not constitute a binding contract or a guarantee of service.

2. The 4-Project Annual Limit

To ensure technical precision and 24/7 oversight, a maximum of four (4) commissioning projects are accepted per calendar year. Slots are secured only upon the clearance of the 0.5% Commitment Fee.

3. Fee Structure & Milestones

The Professional Engagement Fee is 2% of the Total Capital Expenditure (CAPEX), subject to a Minimum Project Fee:

India Projects: 2% of CAPEX or INR 15 Lakhs (whichever is higher).

International Projects: 2% of CAPEX or USD 15,000 (whichever is higher).

Minimum Project Fee applies to all engagements ($15,000 USD / ₹15 Lakhs INR). This floor ensures that the project remains technically viable and receives the necessary attention required for industrial scaling.

Note: Travel & Expenses: The professional fee above covers engineering logic and remote oversight. Physical site visits require the client to provide or reimburse business-class/economy-plus airfare, secure local lodging, and provide local transit for the duration of the visit. All site visit charges, including airfare (to and from), local accommodation, and local transport, are billed extra at actuals.

Payment Milestones:

• 0.5% Commitment Fee (Phase 1): Due upfront. Covers Preliminary Feasibility (PFR) and project initiation.
• 0.75% Engineering Fee (Phase 2): Due prior to the release of Detailed Project Reports (DPR), Engineering Layouts, and Process Piping Diagrams.
• 0.75% Commissioning Fee (Phase 3): Due upon installation oversight and successful production of the “Golden Batch.”

4. Non-Refundability of Commitment Fee

The 0.5% Commitment Fee is strictly non-refundable. This fee compensates for the specialized technical analysis and resource allocation performed during the initial phase. If the client chooses to abort the project after Phase 1, no refunds will be issued.

5. Intellectual Property (IP) Protection

All engineering layouts, process piping diagrams, and custom recipe formulations provided are the intellectual property of Rudvik Engineers.

• The client is granted a license to use these documents for the specified site only.
• Redistribution, resale, or application of these designs to other facilities without written consent is a violation of these terms.
• Technical blueprints are only released after the Phase 2 (0.75%) payment has cleared.

6. No-Call Policy (Pre-Payment)

To maintain focus on active factory floors, no technical consultations, video calls, or site visits will be conducted until the 0.5% Commitment Fee has been settled. All initial vetting is done via the Project Intent Form. If you have doubts, please book a technical discovery session below.

7. Vendor Neutrality

While a verified vendor network is shared, the consultant is not liable for third-party machinery delays, shipping damages, or vendor contractual disputes. The consultant provides the logic and specifications; the commercial contract remains between the client and the vendor.

8. Project “Worthiness” Clause

We reserve the right to decline any project following the review of the Project Intent Form if the project does not meet technical viability standards or if the CAPEX/Stage of the project is deemed insufficient for industrial scaling.
