Kurita's food and beverage (F&B) solutions are designed to address the unique challenges faced by the industry, focusing on water treatment, energy savings and sustainability.
Patrick Kraft, Value+ product manager at Kurita, explains how these solutions are designed to enhance production efficiency, ensure food safety and reduce environmental impact. Through these tailored offerings, Kurita has established itself as a trusted partner for F&B companies worldwide.
One of the key offerings from Kurita is the 360° solution for the full water cycle of F&B plants. This comprehensive approach helps save water and energy while improving plant productivity. Kurita's solutions are customised for various applications, including pasteuriser and autoclave treatment, to protect all parts that meet treated water. This prevents corrosion and scaling, removes fat and oil, and improves packaging rinsing, among other benefits.
A notable product in Kurita's portfolio is Albaphos FB 9100, an all-in-one solution for the thermal process in the F&B industry. This product combines powerful fat dispersion with excellent corrosion and deposit control, perfectly matching the key performance indicators of customers.
By using Albaphos FB 9100, F&B plants can reduce equipment, storage capacity and handling costs while also minimising their environmental footprint. The product offers several benefits, including corrosion inhibition, scale inhibition, bio dispersions, anti-foam properties, fat and oil removal, gloss improvement and repellence optimisation. Customers have reported up to a 50% optimisation in equipment costs and safer, more reliable dosage control.
Kurita's thermal process solutions also extend to tunnel pasteurisers. These products help reduce pasteuriser boil-outs, increase plant availability and save water, energy, manpower and chemicals. Additionally, they prevent corrosion on crown corks, stainless/carbon steel and conveyor belts, extending equipment lifetime and improving overall product throughput.
Kurita's commitment to sustainability is evident in its water and energy savings approach. The company's solutions are designed to minimise water consumption and reduce energy usage, contributing to a lower environmental impact. For instance, Kurita's S.sensing CS technology offers smart equipment to control product dosage in industrial wastewater treatment systems in real-time. This technology helps optimise water treatment processes, ensuring efficient use of resources and reducing waste in your F&B plant.
Moreover, Kurita's monitoring systems for water and energy savings play a vital role in tackling major water challenges like scarcity, pollution and efficiency. These systems, such as the Cetamine FB technology, provide comprehensive protection and efficiency for boiler systems in the F&B industry. Its benefits include corrosion protection, scale inhibition, water and energy savings, easy handling, regulatory compliance, improved boiler efficiency and environmental safety.
Kurita's F&B solutions provide a holistic approach to water treatment, energy savings and sustainability.
