Pumps and valves are the hearts and lungs of a dairy processing plant. Pumps move ingredients from vats to fillers. Valves direct liquids to the proper line and allow for simultaneous production and cleaning. Dairy processors need to be efficient, so they want to capture every bit of ice cream mix, cheese curd, white mass or fruit slurry in a line.

I have been at the International Dairy Foods Association for 22 years, and during that time water usage and wastewater discharges have always been important issues.Discussions about water in the past were usually about wastewater. Historically, municipalities added more and more houses and businesses to their sewage treatment plants, but did not upgrade the infrastructure to accommodate the increased load.

The S-PM240 filling machine, a high-speed filler for Pure-Pak gable top mini cartons, is said to operate at more than 95% efficiency. It fills 4-, 6-, 8-, 10- or 16-ounce cartons at an output of 400 cartons per minute, ideal for school milk programs.

Envirocid Plus is a zero-phosphorus, low-nitrate acid CIP/COP cleaner that helps processing plants manage their operating costs while improving their sustainability profile.

These CIP systems with controls and automation are designed for single-use, rinse recovery and multiple tank reclaim systems

These CIP systems are designed to guarantee successful cleaning, reduce waste generation and can be integrated for single use and recovery of cleaning media, single or multi-stream routes as well as for online and offline cleaning and sanitization.

Every Gamajet CIP/COP system utilizes a patented technology, which distributes two high-impact cleaning jets along the tank interior in a precise 360-degree pattern, using a fraction of the water consumed by sprayballs, in less than half the time.

Over the past 75-plus years, this company has built and installed hundreds of CIP systems, leveraging valuable historical information and hands-on experience.

The APV CIP MINI System is a single-use CIP system, which operates on the principle of preparing a fresh solution for each wash and discarding afterwards.

The VARIPURE orbital and rotating cleaners for CIP systems are self-cleaning and feature strong mechanical spray patterns for the best cleaning results.
