Dosing technology for dairies and cheese dairies

Precise and reliable dosing of alkalis, acids and disinfectants is essential in the food and beverage industry. The standardised CVD dosing systems from sera impress with short delivery times, high versatility and an excellent price-performance ratio. CVD stands for Compact Vertical Dosing - a modular system that can be flexibly adapted to a wide range of dosing requirements. sera offers the right drive technology for every application within a configurable system. The compact design enables space-saving wall mounting, while integrated safety devices ensure reliable operation. Plug & Play ensures fast commissioning. Various pump types, material designs and equipment offer maximum flexibility - from the compact single-pump solution to the powerful variant with redundancy. The systems comply with the WHG and enable the safe handling of water-polluting substances.

In the food and beverage industry, a continuous and safe supply of chemicals is essential - both for stable processes and for economical production. The sera IBC emptying station offers a sophisticated solution that combines efficient dosing, high work safety and reliable operation. Thanks to the inclined installation surface, the IBC is emptied almost completely, avoiding residual quantities in the container. At the same time, a defined residual volume remains in the storage container so that the container can be changed without interrupting the process. The container is removed from above and without a suction lance - this minimises the risk when handling chemicals and increases safety. An integrated fill level indicator and two float switches enable precise monitoring and timely alarms when the container is changed. The sera solution is suitable for a wide range of media such as caustic soda, acids or disinfectants and ensures reliable and flexible operation - efficient, safe and application-orientated.

In the food and beverage industry, chemicals are stored centrally in concentrate rooms - usually in large storage tanks up to five metres high. As required by law, the chemicals are extracted exclusively from the top, for example in double-walled tanks or those in drip pans. sera offers sophisticated solutions that enable safe, space-saving and efficient pumping. A siphon vessel at the highest point and the integrated suction aid in the sera dosing systems ensure trouble-free operation. The well thought-out design with pulsation damper enables even delivery, even over long distances. Dosing can optionally be precisely monitored via a flow meter. In addition to stationary tanks, customised plastic containers with individual volumes can also be realised. Whether alkalis, acids or disinfectants - sera systems ensure reliable handling even with demanding media and contribute to safe, controlled and economical operation.

When preparing caustic soda from solids, an exothermic reaction occurs with temperatures of up to 95 °C - a process that requires special safety measures. The sera caustic soda preparation station has been specially developed to provide the best possible protection for users and at the same time ensure efficient processing. The caustic soda flakes are fed into a stainless steel container via a screw conveyor from a safe distance, without the need for direct contact with the hot area. This significantly increases work safety. The station has a powerful bag emptying system (approx. 1,000 kg/h), an electric agitator, temperature and fill level indicator and a siphon overflow. Versions for big bags, suction devices, storage containers or transfer stations are optionally available. The sera solution enables the safe, controlled preparation of NaOH solutions with concentrations of 20 to 50 % - ideal for use in the food and beverage industry.

Hygiene is a top priority in the food and beverage industry - not only for reasons of product safety, but also to ensure consistent quality and flavour. With Cleaning in Place (CIP), production systems such as tanks, pipework and filling systems can be cleaned automatically and efficiently without having to dismantle them.

Typical cleaning cycles consist of several steps: pre-rinsing, caustic cleaning, intermediate rinsing, acid cleaning and final rinsing. Cleaning is followed by disinfection of the system. To ensure that these processes work efficiently and safely, precise dosing of the detergents and disinfectants is essential - a task for which sera offers suitable solutions.
