Improving the sustainability of plants and plant operations
One of the important steps by developing and executing projects for Home and Personal Care is dealing with a wide range of equipment with a high focus on sustainability, low water consumption and minimum product loss. Already a proven technology across several applications, product recovery or pigging systems have become an important tool in helping companies conserve water by ensuring that raw materials are processed with minimal waste and by optimizing water consumption in demanding pipe cleaning processes. This also reduces resource-usage for wastewater treatment.
LEFF® function for unprecedented cleaning efficiency, saving up to 90% cleaning media
LEFF® stands for Low Emission Flip Flop. The LEFF® function is integrated in the T.VIS® A-15 valve control top and can be easily activated. Path-controlled electronics pulse-control the moment and degree of opening the valve disk with absolute precision and thus, optimize the cleaning effect by minimizing detergent consumption and cleaning time.
