Food Industry

For many years Packo has been manufacturing stainless steel equipment for the food industry operating in the most diverse applications. Packo offers not only components and equipment as there are storage tanks and process vessels, centrifugal pumps, CIP units, ice water builders, pasteurisers, cryogenic freezing equipment, but also complete processing units for milk, beer, yeast and many other products.

Tank construction
Packo stainless steel transport containers, storage tanks and process vessels are as essential for Packo as they are for the food processing industries. Offering solutions to store, refrigerate, heat, maintaining the temperature, mix, agitate, keep homogeneous, etc. are part of our core competences. Packo tanks range from atmospheric (up to 30.000 l) to pressure vessels (up to 8.000 l) with sheet thicknesses up to 8 mm. They can have a single or double jacket and diverse accessories integrated (e.g. agitator, fittings, etc.) and are available as standard models or special customized designs. They are constructed to the most stringent national and international quality design standards and regulations.

Cleaning In Place (CIP) systems
Hygiene is an essential factor in the processing of food products. This requires a good and controlled cleaning or/and sterilisation of the processing equipment. Packo offers a complete range of mobile and fixed CIP systems. Whatever system you choose, you can always count on optimal performance; minimal water use ensures a minimal strain on the environment.

Ice water systems (Ice stores)
Ice water as a cooling medium is of major importance in the food and drink industry, as well as in process engineering, bakery and confectionery industry, catering etc. A striking example is applied in the Packo ice water builder, i.e. economical storage of energy in the form of ice which is melted down for the refrigeration of products.

Pasteurizers
Pasteurization of food products is one of the possible heat treatments used to kill off the entire population of disease-producing bacteria and greatly reduce the total number of micro organisms. Pasteurization can be done in batch pasteurizers for small quantities or by means of continuous flow pasteurizers for larger daily production. Packo supplies pasteurization equipment for milk, fruit juices and liquid egg.

Bakery processing lines
Packo yeast plants are installed on a turnkey base and include: reception, storage, keeping on temperature (2-4°C), keeping on suspension, circulating in the bakery, automatic dosing in mixers, complete CIP installation, control cabinets, connection with the dosing computers, ice water installation, etc. Installations vary from small size for local bakeries with containers of 300 liters over medium size for semi-industrial bakeries with containers of 1.000 liters and large plants for industrial bakeries with storage vessels up to 50.000 liters.

Mini-dairies
Packo has been manufacturing small milk processing lines for 20 years now and has references worldwide. The range starts with simple batch pasteurizers with a capacity of 150 litres and extends to full turnkey mini-dairies with a processing capacity of up to 10.000 litres per hour. The mini-dairies are real milk processing lines, based on the technology of larger dairies, but on a reduced scale. They can be supplied and installed suitable for all usual kinds of dairy products, i.e. consumption milk, cream, butter, yogurt, kefir, other fermented milk products, fresh and ripened cheese, etc.

Cryogenic freezing equipment
Cryogenic freezing and chilling; i.e. freezing and chilling with the use of liquid nitrogen or liquid carbon dioxide as an expendable gas is used since several decades in food processing and industrial applications, such as pharmaceutical, chemical, automotive applications. Packo Inox is one of the world's leading manufacturers of cryogenic equipment.

Surface Treatment of Stainless Steel
