CIP Central

The centralized CIP system offers cleaning with total security by using recirculation of detergents and sanitizers in appropriate temperatures, besides it can guarantee a superior drag speeds upon surfaces more than needed, and speeds that can guarantee the necessary turbulence for cleaning pipes and connections as well.

When using the tank of recovered water, Central CIP allows reducing up to 40% the consumption of fresh water. At the rinsing time, the consumption of water can be scheduled to the minimum consumption, guaranteeing the necessary time, determined from the analyses of the residual water done by the lab. Likewise the first rinsing dragging out the existing dirt, guaranteeing this way the complete removal of detergents and sanitizers.

The Central CIP recovers detergents and sanitizers that are discharged during the cycle of the aseptic cleaning system, and the consumption of those materials used for cleaning tanks and pipelines is reduced to the maximum as possible.

The follow steps are applied in the cleaning cycle of tubing sections or tanks:

Preliminary rinse
Detergent cycle
Intermediary rinse
Sanitizing cycle
Final rinse
Analysis of the residual water

Fully automated system or partially automated system can be provided according to the customer’s needs.

According to the needs of the plant or yet according to the process line, the dimensioning of the system can be customized.

Apis Flora - Concentrated Propolis Line

In 2019, we completed the delivery of a concentrated propolis production line through alcoholic extraction and subsequent vacuum evaporation. The process involves the propolis, initially in the form of wax from the apiary, being added to grain alcohol within a process tank specifically designed for this purpose. In the mixing tank, the product is kept constantly stirred, undergoing successive heating and cooling operations over many hours. After this period, the propolis will be diluted. The settled sediment is discarded, and the product is sent to the concentrator for alcohol evaporation and propolis concentration. The concentration pot facilitates vacuum evaporation, and the evaporated alcohol is recovered in an indirect condenser and sent back to the alcohol accumulation tank. The final product is pure and concentrated propolis. All equipment was constructed following safety standards for explosive atmospheres and ATEX certification. Currently, the line is in perfect operation, adding value to our customer.

Demerara – 1000 Multi-fruit line

Between 2020 and 2021, we successfully completed the delivery of a 1000 Multifruit processing line to Demerara, a company located in Guyana. This partnership marked a significant milestone in the regional fruit processing industry and deserves due recognition.
