Whatever your Clean In Place (CIP) requirements, Sycamore can provide a solution. From manual systems to multi-tank, multi-channel, fully automated CIP systems – we can deliver! Clean in Place systems are an integral part of all processing facilities, many organisations see CIP as just a requirement, and it is often overlooked. However, we see CIP as an equally important part of the processing facility, where there are opportunities to improve our customers’ sustainability and efficiencies of their system. Whilst considering a new CIP application design we utilise the availability of performance and simulation data. The benefit this provides is that our systems are optimised to suit your needs, rather than over-engineering and “playing it safe”. A further consideration is applied when specifying details such as pump sizing, heat exchanger selection, processing temperatures, and chemical dosing strengths. With these considerations, our systems are designed with an aim to increase your production uptime by minimising the downtime required for the CIP turnaround.
Pasteurisation is at the heart of many Food and Drink manufacturing facilities. The purpose is to produce consistent, safe and hygienic products. Our systems are custom designed to accommodate a range of plate, tubular or scraped surface heat exchangers, which are used to process a wide range of food types with differing viscosities. We acknowledge that each application has its own unique requirements, which alongside the latest codes of practice guide our designs. When delivering your Pasteurisation system, our priority is to design the most energy-efficient solution, resulting in the lowest operational expenditure and promoting a sustainable future. We understand what matters to you throughout the pasteurisation process. Gentle handling of every product is paramount to ensure product integrity is upheld with a hygienic design whilst minimising product wastage. To ensure no product contamination all of our pasteurisers incorporate pressure differential monitoring across the heat exchangers with the use of pressure transmitters. Our custom designs are not limited to the plant’s process performance; we also account for future servicing and maintenance. The design of your pasteuriser will allow routine maintenance to be carried out quickly and effectively, minimising production downtime, whilst ensuring your pasteuriser is performing at its optimal level.
To provide you with the most applicable end-to-end Membrane Filtration solution, we work with Wafilin Systems, a collaborative partners whose expertise lies within Membrane Filtration. These Membrane Filtration systems can be provided as stand-alone systems or as part of a larger fully integrated end-to-end process solution. You can be supplied with Micro Filtration (MF), Ultra Filtration (UF), Nano Filtration (NF) as well as Reverse Osmosis (RO) solutions to best suit your product requirements. By partnering with our filtration experts, it allows you to receive a bespoke design membrane filtration plant which will provide the best results for you. Following successful commissioning and optimisation of your Membrane Filtration equipment, we will continue our dedicated customer care via our Parts and Service Team, who can support you with routine maintenance, spare parts, and replacement membranes. To ensure you receive the most suitable solution, we can offer spiral wound, plate and frame, as well as tubular membranes to allow a wider range of products to be processed efficiently.
