THE CHALLENGE
The client needed a steam system to efficiently melt chocolate and caramel while ensuring hygiene and energy efficiency. They also required sanitary ball valves for precise flow control in the product pipeline. The system needed to handle 10m³/hr of condensate with a 10m head pressure.
THE SOLUTION
BM Engineering Supplies provided custom steam products for a pressure-reducing station.
-
Condensate Recovery System: Capturing and reusing steam to reduce energy consumption.
-
Sanitary Ball Valves (2-way & 3-way) with pneumatic actuators for efficient process automation.
-
Y-Strainers, Isolation Valves, and Non-Return Valves to maintain cleanliness and prevent backflow.
- Sterile Control Valves, Steam Traps & Pressure Regulators to maintain precise temperature control.
THE RESULTS
-
30% energy savings due to steam recovery.
-
Improved process control, ensuring the right consistency in chocolate melting.
-
Compliance with food safety regulations through sanitary-grade components.
