By integrating modern pump technology, hygienic design principles, clean-in-place (CIP)-ready systems and energy-efficient components into the plant layout from the start, manufacturers can reduce waste, secure lower long-term operating costs and meet stringent food safety requirements.
The new platform is structured into two complementary ranges: EWA/YK-CZ monobloc units, from 20 to 85 kW, and EWYK-QZ modular heat pumps, configurable in multi-array systems up to 2,000 kW.
Automatic retractable shoes are specifically designed for CIP processes to allow the pump and rest of the system downstream to be cleaned at the correct fluid velocity.
While natural gas is abundant and relatively cheap now, it may not be in the future —and industrial users need to be ready with alternative sources for heating.
Industrial heat pumps create more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume, making them efficient and potential replacements for boilers burning petroleum products, decreasing carbon footprints.
In alternative protein production, pumps are essential for accurate additive dosing, including nutrients and anti-foaming agents, as well as transferring the protein product and adjusting pH levels to maintain optimum conditions. Selecting the right pumping technologies can help manufacturers to overcome bioprocessing challenges.
