Indonesian site utilities, standards and import route

Mains supply
230 V single phase / 400 V three phase; specify motors, drives and panels for the 220–240 V and 380–415 V band, as legacy 220/380 V marking is still widespread
Frequency
50 Hz
Food regulator
BPOM (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan) — izin edar MD/ML and Izin Penerapan CPPOB; halal certification separately via BPJPH
Standards & conformity
BSN sets SNI; the Tanda SNI mark comes with an SPPT-SNI certificate from a KAN-accredited LSPro, imposed product by product by Kemenperin
Import route
Mostly non-lartas for complete new machinery on the importer's NIB acting as API-P; Persetujuan Impor, Pertek or a Laporan Surveyor apply by HS code, screened in INSW and cleared by Bea dan Cukai
Port of entry
Tanjung Priok (Jakarta), Tanjung Perak (Surabaya), Belawan (Medan), Tanjung Emas (Semarang) or Makassar

These are the national standard figures and the general route: confirm your own site's actual supply with PLN — connected loads above about 200 kVA are taken at 20 kV medium voltage through the customer's transformer, and standby gensets are normal practice — and have your importer confirm the lartas classification of each HS line in INSW before the shipment is booked.

Indonesia project planning: An Indonesian processor should expect to hold an Izin Penerapan CPPOB for the facility under BPOM Regulation No. 22 of 2021, obtained as a PB-UMKU service on OSS against the company's NIB, plus a BPOM izin edar per product (MD for food made in Indonesia, ML for imported), with halal certification from BPJPH handled separately. On the equipment side, complete new processing and drying machinery is in most cases a non-lartas import, but mandatory SNI, a Persetujuan Impor, a Pertek or surveyor verification can apply by HS code and must be checked in INSW before shipment. These are customer and project compliance considerations — not a claim that GEM or any machine is already certified in Indonesia.
CASE STUDIES

Selected international processing project references.

GEM's closest reference for an Indonesian enquiry is in Indonesia: the high-fat desiccated coconut line for PT Salim Ivomas Pratama Tbk, installed and commissioned in April 2019. The two United States projects show the same engineering applied to a continuous oven and to a high-moisture fruit by-product — the drying problem behind tapioca, kakao, cabai and palm-residue work here.

United States · Rice cake processing

Automated gas-fired continuous oven system

Supplied a PLC- and HMI-controlled continuous oven with integrated CIP for producing caramel, cinnamon and cheddar-flavoured rice cakes. The system replaced an older, labour-intensive oven and enabled faster product changeovers, automated recipe control and improved hygiene.

CONTINUOUS OUTPUT 5,000–6,000 pieces/hour · Continuous production capacity with final moisture below 2%
PROJECT OUTCOME

Integrated CIP, adjustable temperature zones and controlled residence time reduced cleaning downtime while improving product consistency and production flexibility.

United States · Cranberry pomace processing

U.S. fruit-ingredient manufacturer

Supplied a steam-based continuous band dryer for high-moisture cranberry pomace, replacing three separate dryers with one integrated system. The solution simplified operations, reduced maintenance and energy requirements, and delivered consistent moisture suitable for milling into functional powders and fibre ingredients.

CAPACITY IMPROVEMENT 7–8× higher capacity · Processing 1,600–1,800 lb/hour from approximately 70% to below 8% moisture
PROJECT OUTCOME

A single continuous drying line delivered higher throughput, consistent product quality and improved process efficiency.

Indonesia · 2018–2019

PT Salim Ivomas Pratama Tbk

Delivered a complete high-fat desiccated coconut processing line — from raw coconut receiving and preparation to blanching, drying support, grading and final packing. The food-grade SS 304 system was engineered for continuous industrial production with reduced manual handling and consistent product quality.

PROCESSING SCOPE Receiving-to-packing Integrated processing line with 23 deshelling machines, steam-lock blanching, grinding, grading and automated packing systems
PROJECT OUTCOME

Successfully installed and commissioned in April 2019, with operation formally certified to the client's satisfaction.

Project details, performance figures and outcomes are published on this page in English, Bahasa Indonesia and Basa Jawa. Client and brand names remain unchanged.

INDONESIA · REGULATORY FAQ

Indonesia food factory and machinery import compliance — FAQs

Practical answers on BPOM registration, CPPOB, halal, SNI and the lartas import screen. These are planning guidelines for your project team, not certification or legal advice.

Which Indonesian authorities regulate food factories and machinery imports?

BPOM (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan) regulates processed food safety, facility GMP permits and product distribution authorisation. Badan Standardisasi Nasional (BSN) sets SNI standards, with testing and certification by bodies accredited by the Komite Akreditasi Nasional (KAN). Imports run under the Ministry of Trade's import-policy regulations and are cleared by Bea dan Cukai (DJBC), screened through the Indonesia National Single Window. Halal certification is a separate mandate under BPJPH.

Does a processed-food factory in Indonesia need a licence or product registration?

Usually both may apply. The production facility needs an Izin Penerapan CPPOB under BPOM Regulation No. 22 of 2021, applied for as a PB-UMKU service on the OSS system on top of the company's NIB. Each product then needs a BPOM izin edar — MD numbers for food manufactured in Indonesia, ML for imported processed food — valid five years. Confirm what applies to your own products and business scale with BPOM before production or sale.

What GMP and hygiene standard is an Indonesian plant expected to meet?

CPPOB, Cara Produksi Pangan Olahan yang Baik, is the national GMP code for processed food, sitting under Law No. 18 of 2012 on Food and Government Regulation No. 86 of 2019 on Food Safety. HACCP thinking reaches plants through the Codex-based SNI adoption of the General Principles of Food Hygiene. Layout, food-contact materials, drainage, cleaning access and process controls should be reviewed against the requirements BPOM applies to your specific operation.

How does Indonesia's import conformity regime treat industrial food machinery?

There is no single pre-export certificate covering everything entering Indonesia. Two mechanisms do the equivalent work and both are applied selectively by HS code: mandatory SNI certification on products listed by Ministry of Industry regulations, and the Ministry of Trade import-policy regime, under which listed goods are flagged lartas and may need a Persetujuan Impor, sometimes a Pertimbangan Teknis, and pre-shipment or destination verification by an appointed surveyor producing a Laporan Surveyor. Complete new food-processing and drying machinery, typically HS 8419, 8437 and 8438, is not on the mandatory-SNI list and is in most cases handled as a non-lartas import — but the status of each tariff line should be verified in INSW against the current Permendag annexes rather than assumed.

What documents may be needed to import a processing line into Indonesia?

Depending on classification, the set may include the importer's NIB acting as API-P where capital goods are brought in for its own use, the commercial invoice, packing list and shipping documents, the customs declaration (PIB), and any Persetujuan Impor, Pertek or Laporan Surveyor the tariff line attracts. Used, reconditioned or remanufactured capital equipment — Barang Modal Bukan Baru, currently governed by Permendag 24/2025 — is a separate restricted category needing import approval and surveyor verification of technical fitness, so a second-hand line is treated far more strictly than a new one. The Indonesian importer and customs broker should confirm the final list.

Are HACCP or ISO 22000 certificates compulsory for every Indonesian food plant?

Not as a blanket rule. HACCP principles reach processors through the Codex-based SNI hygiene standard and CPPOB expectations rather than as a universal certificate, while ISO 22000 is a separate voluntary third-party certification usually driven by buyers or export markets. Halal certification from BPJPH under Law No. 33 of 2014 and Government Regulation No. 42 of 2024 is separately mandatory for food and beverage products circulating in Indonesia; reporting on the current deadline for some categories conflicts, so confirm the applicable date with BPJPH.

Does GEM Foodtech supply Indonesia-certified machinery?

No, and this page makes no such claim. We can provide engineering specifications, material certificates and technical documentation for a proposed line, and we have delivered and commissioned a line in Indonesia. SNI applicability, lartas status and import clearance must be verified for the specific machine and shipment by the Indonesian project owner with the relevant authority. Note also that individual electrical items built into control panels — power and control cables, plugs and socket-outlets, switches — can carry mandatory SNI in their own right even where the machine as a whole does not, so panel bills of material should be screened against the current Kemenperin list.

Can GEM help with hygienic design and compliance planning?

Our engineering team can review food-contact material selection — the PT Salim Ivomas coconut line was built in food-grade SS 304 — along with cleanability, drainage, process flow and segregation, utility and effluent loads, instrumentation and the documentation an auditor will ask to see. Final CPPOB approval, izin edar registration, halal certification and import clearance remain the responsibility of the Indonesian project owner and the named authorities.
