Markets we serve
Process design and plant integration
The manufacturing of liquid foods present unique challenges for our customers, as they involve complex ingredients - liquids and powders, and high viscosity all require careful handling.
From single or standalone units, such as high shear mixers, homogenizers and pasteurization units, to entire plant, our experts will develop and configure optimized solutions to meet your needs and also ensure future scalability. We can customize each line to provide a bespoke combination of modules that ensures consistent processing to produce stable, homogeneous products with a long shelf-life. Additionally, our solutions include efficient clean-in-place (CIP) and recovery solutions to maximize safety and improve yields.
Sustainable manufacturing
Manufacturing liquid food products generates significant amounts of wastewater and residual heat energy, which are often wasted but could be utilized elsewhere in your plant. We have developed technologies to minimize water usage, recycle process water, and capture and reuse residual energy wherever possible. Our energy-efficient heating and cooling technologies, including refrigeration systems that use natural refrigerants and heat recycling units, can help you significantly reduce overall energy consumption and carbon footprint.
