Tank for the food and beverage industry

for pasty productsfor liquid productsfor solid products

Overview
We design, fabricate and install batching and blending mix tanks and kettles for dosing and processing liquids, slurries, gases and bulk solids. Systems are available in loss-in-weight and gain-in-weight configurations and integrate flowmeter and load cell technologies. Mixing options range from gentle agitation to low- and high-shear designs and can be skid-mounted for line integration. Compliance and hygienic designs can meet 3-A, USDA, cGMP, ASME, BPE, FDA and API standards.

Key features
