Water treatment for the food and beverage industry
Complex
production processes
Eating and drinking are basic human needs. The food and beverage industry produces high-quality foodstuffs, making it one of the most important industries in the world.
Manufacturers are being confronted with the conflicting demands of rising costs, strict legal requirements and the ever-increasing importance of sustainability.
These complex challenges can only be met by using future-proof production processes and the plant technology required for this. Treatment of water as a raw material is one of the central tasks.
Water as
an ingredient
In food and beverage production, water is used as an ingredient (product water), for cleaning (e.g. of production equipment or bottles) and as process water (e.g. boiler feed water or cooling water). Therefore, different requirements for water quality and plant technology have to be taken into account.
Our water treatment units take into account all the industry’s requirements – from selecting suitable materials, fittings and process connections to customised cleaning and sanitisation concepts.
We develop a unit precisely tailored to your application based on our standard series.

STRICT REQUIREMENTS
In the food sector, standards such as Regulation (EC) 1935/2004 or Regulation (EC) 2023/2006 must be complied with. Guidelines such as DIN 10528, DIN 11853 or EHEDG Doc. 28 are used in order to ensure that the water treatment unit is designed in such a way as to prevent or reliably remove microbial contamination. In addition, there are customer-specific requirements, e.g. regarding brands that can be used. We offer you units with certified quality (DIN EN ISO 9001, DIN EN ISO 13485) and which are designed with these requirements in mind and manufactured by our production team in Germany.
LIFE CYCLE COSTS AT A GLANCE
Resource-saving units can ensure the long-term viability of your production site. By saving on energy and water (Webinar tip: Energy efficiency of RO plants), we minimise the life cycle costs of your new reverse osmosis unit. We can even reduce the waste water volume by 50 – 75% in existing reverse osmosis units by retrofitting a second RO stage (Webinar tip: Decrease wastewater on existing systems).
