Together with you, we try to convert your recipes to process systems especially tailored to you. If needed, supported by testing in a pilot environment.

Applications

• Dissolve, disperse and emulsify
• Dosing and filling
• Wash
• Heat transfer and evaporation
• Aseptic and non-aseptic processing
• Cleaning In Place (CIP) and Sterilization In Place (SIP)
• Pumping and homogenizing

Cutters

Testing
In collaboration with our partner, we offer the possibility to carry out product testing. Intended to demonstrate the benefits of the equipment and to provide support in product development. This can also take place at your location if desired.

Possibilities

• Dosing or filling/weighing
• Processes available for testing:
• Emulsify inline and batch
• Cooking and cooling in the kettle
• Vacuum cooking - cooling - concentrate
• CIP

Additional operations can be arranged with our partners.

Processes & Product Examples
Ranging from:

• Confectionery; Dissolving powders, cooking caramel to inline cooling of syrupy cream filling. (Caramel, crème patisserie, pastry cream, fat-based chocolate cream, ganache, glaze, marshmallow.)

• Fruit; dissolving pectin, vacuum cooking of jam or aseptic production of fruit for yogurt. (Jam, marmalade, chutney, septic fruit for yogurt, high brix fruit concentrates, pie filling, applesauce, mashed potatoes.)

• Sauces and dressings; traditional kettle cooked BBQ sauce to continuously produced mayonnaise or dressing, from low to high viscous and from smooth to thick products. (Mayonnaise, ketchup, BBQ sauce, cheese sauce, gravy, cranberry sauce, salsa, hummus.)

• Viscous dairy products; fermenting yogurt, mixing herbs in cream cheese to pasteurize concentrates (milk-whey). (Yogurt, vanilla, rice, tapioca pudding, Cream cheese, Melt cheese, ice cream mixture, milk protein concentrate (MPC), whey protein concentrate (WPC))

• Meal components; Traditionally prepared, batch-made mashed potatoes to noodle soup with chicken or stir-fried ingredients. (Mashed potatoes, soup, baby food, meat, chili, stew, curry, roux – ragout)

• Cleaning I; turnkey CIP systems with tuned cycle times, chemical concentrations, temperatures and liquid speeds in accordance with your specific cleaning requirements. Possibly equipped with an energy-saving feature that adjusts the active system size to the size of your object.

• Cleaning II; after CIP cleaning, sterilization can take place with a SIP system. The production line is sterilized with steam of nutritional quality. Sterile barriers and regulated overpressure provide aseptic sterile conditions in the production line. Also for optimization of your current CIP-SIP systems.
