Processing equipment for food processing
Controlling your processes to boost your performance
ZIEMEX has been designing, manufacturing and installing process and chemical engineering equipment for over 60 years for the food processing and ingredients industry.
We control all the critical parameters: custom design, suggestion of subassemblies, compliance with standards, environments and construction codes, choice of specific materials, rigorous quality control and turnkey installation.
Our know-how is built on perfect control over processes, heat transfer and mechanical sizing. We provide solutions suited for each application, in direct connection with our range of processing equipment to guarantee high performance, safety and durability.
Continual adaptation
to the requirements of the food processing market
The processing of food and ingredients, such as starch, imposes high requirements:
- Strict compliance with regulations and construction codes (PED, CODAP, AD Merkblatt, ASME, etc.).
- Resistance to outside environments, pressures and temperatures.
- Incorporation of equipment into ATEX zones or other risky environments.
- Fiabilité et maintien des performances sur le long terme.aReliability and maintenance of performance over the long term.
ZIEMEX uses advanced manufacturing processes and selects suitable materials (stainless steel, titanium, Hastelloy, Inconel, duplex etc.) to meet those requirements.
This expertise is backed by our reactors, process tanks, columns, heat exchangers, skids, silos, and other process solutions.
ZIEMEX food processing and ingredients
solutions
We combine process engineering and know-how in custom manufacturing for each project:
Process reactors & tanks with controlled environments
Design suitable for complex reactions, with optional heating, cooling or agitation.
Distillation or absorption columns
Sized to maximise the efficiency of separation or concentration.
Storage
silos
Fully equipped storage and mixing silos with peripheral equipment: materials that resist aggressive products and temperature variations.
Each solution is developed in collaboration with our customers, integrating the requirements specific to their process.
