Sanitary Process Solutions for Dairy Plants
Milk doesn't wait for a part.
Raw milk keeps arriving whether the pasteurizer is running or not. When the heat exchanger or the homogenizer is down, the clock is on the product.
What that means for you
- Heat exchanger leak detection, so a plate problem is found on a test.
- Homogenizers, pumps and valves serviced by people who know dairy equipment.
- We sell and service APV, Waukesha Cherry-Burrell, GEA, Tetra Pak, Alfa Laval and Pentair Südmo.
Dairy is the industry sanitary processing standards were written for. Milk is perishable, pasteurization is a legal control point, and the equipment has to come apart, clean up and go back together day after day.
SIE Process-Solutions keeps dairy plants running with service for the equipment at the heart of the process and with design-build for new and expanded lines.
Heat exchangers and pasteurization
The plate heat exchanger is where raw and pasteurized product pass within a plate thickness of each other. We provide heat exchanger leak detection and maintenance, and supply gaskets and plates, so that a pinhole is found on a test and not in the product.
Homogenizers, pumps and valves
We service homogenizers, centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, and the mix-proof and shut-off valves that route product and cleaning solution through the plant. We sell and service dairy equipment from APV, Waukesha Cherry-Burrell, GEA, Tetra Pak, Alfa Laval and Pentair Südmo.
Valve matrices and clean-in-place
Modern dairies route product through valve clusters and clean the whole system in place. SIE designs and installs valve matrices and builds clean-in-place systems, with the automation and control panels to run them.
Built to 3-A
Our process designs meet or exceed 3-A, ASME, FDA, OSHA and UL listed standards.
