  • Stainless Steel Equipment

    Stainless steel is the material of choice for most sanitary parts and equipment in the dairy industry. It is corrosion-resistant, non-toxic, and easy to clean, making it ideal for use in environments where hygiene is paramount. Tanks, pipes, valves, fittings, and other components used in dairy processing are typically made of stainless steel to ensure long-lasting durability and cleanliness.

  • Sanitary Valves and Pumps

    Valves and pumps are essential for controlling the flow of liquids, such as milk, cream, and other dairy products, throughout the manufacturing process. Sanitary valves and pumps are specifically designed to minimize dead spots where bacteria can accumulate and grow. They are also constructed with materials that resist corrosion and are easy to clean, such as stainless steel and food-grade elastomers.

  • Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) Systems

    CIP systems are widely used in the dairy industry to clean and sanitize equipment without the need for disassembly. These systems circulate cleaning and sanitizing solutions through the equipment, and they are designed to ensure that all surfaces come into contact with the cleaning agents. Sanitary parts used in CIP systems, such as spray balls, nozzles, and fittings, are designed to be easily cleaned and inspected, further ensuring the cleanliness of the entire system.

  • Hygienic Seals and Gaskets

    All equipment used in dairy processing must be sealed to prevent leaks and contamination. Sanitary seals and gaskets are made from materials that are resistant to chemicals, extreme temperatures, and wear. They are also designed to minimize crevices where bacteria can grow, ensuring the integrity of the dairy product throughout the manufacturing process.

  • Sterilization and Pasteurization Equipment

    The dairy industry often employs heat treatment, such as pasteurization or sterilization, to kill harmful bacteria and extend the shelf life of dairy products. Sanitary parts used in sterilization and pasteurization equipment, including heat exchangers, steam traps, and temperature sensors, are designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures while maintaining cleanliness.
