Equipment Portfolio

Pilot plant modules that behave like process equipment

Build a lab-scale line from thermal processing, mixing, homogenization, filling, cleaning, and instrumentation modules. Each module is selected around product behavior and scale-up data, not catalog convenience.

Scope

Food, dairy, beverage, ingredient, and bioprocess R&D systems from formulation trials to repeatable pilot batches.

Core Systems

Equipment families for pilot-scale validation

The same pilot plant skid can often combine several process functions. The important question is not how many modules are installed, but which measurements and operating windows must be reproduced.

Thermal

UHT and HTST pilot systems

Plate, tubular, or scraped-surface heat exchange with controlled heating, holding, cooling, and optional aseptic routing.

Preparation

Mixing and blending skids

Jacketed tanks, high-shear mixers, powder induction, ingredient hydration, and controlled agitation for formulation trials.

Texture

Homogenization modules

Single-stage or two-stage pressure control for emulsions, protein drinks, fat dispersion, particle size, and mouthfeel studies.

Hygiene

CIP and SIP units

Alkaline cleaning, acid cleaning, hot-water circulation, steam interfaces, drain strategy, and return monitoring.

Packaging

Aseptic sample filling

Small-batch bottle, pouch, cup, or sterile sample filling for customer trials, shelf-life screens, and packaging development.

Controls

Data capture and automation

Temperature, pressure, flow, valve states, alarms, recipes, batch reports, and exportable records for process review.

Individual Equipment URLs

Catalog equipment pages built for search intent

Each catalog device has its own English landing page with a canonical URL, technical summary, specification table, application copy, and configuration call-to-action.

Configuration Logic

Specify the equipment by the decisions it must support

Decision 01

Thermal impact

Define target kill step, product quality limits, fouling tendency, heat recovery needs, and whether the trial must include aseptic cooling.

Decision 02

Physical stability

Set homogenization pressure, shear exposure, particle tolerance, deaeration needs, and sampling points for texture and sedimentation checks.

Decision 03

Cleaning confidence

Plan CIP/SIP routes, product contact surfaces, drain points, utility temperatures, conductivity checks, and manual inspection areas.
