Industries
The sectors where our expertise turns into production
We address hygienic process requirements within each sector's own production reality.
Dairy
Sector overview
Dairy processing is a chain in which temperature, time and hygiene are controlled without interruption, from raw milk reception through to dispatch. Product safety and shelf life depend on the precision of heat treatment, while operating cost depends on heat recovery, CIP efficiency and reduced product loss.
Process expertise
- Plate, tubular and infusion based thermal process systems for pasteurisation and UHT
- Separation and fat standardisation with Seital separators
- Homogenisation and powder dissolution with the Flex-Mix range
- Membrane filtration with MF, UF, NF and reverse osmosis
- Powder product lines with Anhydro evaporation and spray drying
- Hygienic valves, centrifugal pumps and deaeration
Food
Sector overview
In food production, recipe variety and frequent product changeovers require a line that is both flexible and closed against cross-contamination. Viscous and particulate products call for solutions beyond standard heat treatment equipment.
Process expertise
- Simultaneous and separated flow with DA3, DE3 and SD4 mixproof valves
- Powder into liquid mixing with Flex-Mix Instant and Power-Mixer
- Scraped surface heat exchangers for viscous and particulate products
- Heat treatment with plate and tubular heat exchangers
- Separation, evaporation and drying systems
- Hygienic valve and pump selection suited to the CIP regime
Beverage
Sector overview
Beverage production must deliver clarity, microbiological stability and aroma retention at the same time. Oxygen entering the process directly affects both shelf life and taste profile, and that control becomes more critical at high flow rates.
Process expertise
- Removal of dissolved oxygen with deaeration units
- Clarification with MF and UF, concentration with RO
- Pasteurisation and heat recovery with plate heat exchangers
- Sterile line separation with MS4 and MSP4 aseptic valves
- Line pressure balancing with CPV constant pressure valves
- High flow transfer with W+ and Ws+ centrifugal pumps
Ice Cream
Sector overview
In ice cream, product quality depends on physical control during mix preparation and freezing. Fat globule size, air incorporation and the stability of viscous flow determine the texture and melting behaviour of the final product.
Process expertise
- Heating and cooling of viscous product with scraped surface heat exchangers
- Plate based thermal process lines for mix pasteurisation
- Control of fat globule size through homogenisation
- Mix preparation with Flex-Mix Liquiverter and Instant
- Accurate dosing with DW positive displacement pumps
- Line separation with mixproof and aseptic valves
Pharmaceutical
Sector overview
In pharmaceutical and hygienic process applications, cleanability, traceability and verifiability of the equipment are the starting point of the design. Dead volume, surface finish and CIP/SIP compatibility are as decisive as the process itself.
Process expertise
- Sterile line separation with MS4 and MSP4 aseptic valves
- Hygienically designed valves and connections that limit dead volume
- Separation and concentration with membrane filtration systems
- Thermal process applications requiring precise temperature control
- Process control with RG4 proportional valves and CU41 control units
- Automation, data acquisition and reporting infrastructure
Cosmetics and Chemical
Sector overview
In cosmetics and hygienic chemical production, high viscosity, emulsion stability and powder-into-liquid dispersion are the main process challenges. Frequent product changeovers require the line to be cleaned quickly and completely.
Process expertise
- Emulsion and dispersion with Flex-Mix Liquiverter and Processor
- Powder addition into high viscosity products with Power-Mixer
- Hydration and dispersion with Controlled Cavitation technology
- Thermal treatment of viscous product with scraped surface heat exchangers
- Viscous transfer with DW positive displacement pumps
- Cross-contamination control at changeover with mixproof valves
