Taking your production to the next level

At the Application & Innovation Center, we have experienced experts to match you with the right equipment for your duty and the specific demands of your business. Join the trials either in person or by live link.

Pumping

With our comprehensive portfolio of solutions, you can assess the impact of different pump types and pump operation on the quality of your products by conducting trials based on your actual process conditions.

Valve optimization

Valve optimization influences a process line’s cleanability, performance and maintenance. Evaluate our range of hygienic valves under your production and cleaning-in-place (CIP) conditions. We can also work with you to optimize CIP performance for mixproof valve clusters.

Cleaning

We work with you to optimize your cleaning processes for improved uptime without compromising hygiene, while also minimizing the consumption of water and chemicals that drive operational costs.

Mixing and dispersion

Explore a wide range of mixers, agitators and dispersion solutions for scales up to 20 m3. We can operate close to your actual production scale to avoid a change in process results during scale-up.

Heat treatment

With plate heat exchangers from 100 l/hr to 4 m³/hr, solutions can be tailored to your product, including WideGap plates for products with particles. You can validate designs, check energy efficiency and product impact, and optimize CIP for new applications.

Let experts at the Application & Innovation Center solve the challenges you face. That’s what a leading global brewery did to determine the best way to reduce water costs when cleaning mixproof valves.

No matter the industry or the challenge, our experts can come up with an innovative, fit-for-purpose solution for you.

What do customers say?

Simulating our production, Alfa Laval performed real trials to quantify possible water and energy savings. We’re now saving 1.2 million litres of water every year, and our investment in new automation had a payback of only 4 months!

- A European dairy customer

We asked Alfa Laval to perform a cleaning trial to replace our current spray heads. In performing about 20 CIP duties per month, we found that their Alfa Laval TJ20G had a payback of only 6 months - due to the water savings alone. Furthermore, cleaning was significantly improved.

- A leading global home-personal care manufacturer

Having conducted a trial with a HPM15 powder mixer at the Application & Innovation Center, we were able to maximize the customer’s xanthan concentration formula and accurately predict production cost! Alfa Laval’s expertise helped us secure this important order.

- A German integrator

We turned to Alfa Laval to reduce energy use in our fresh fermented dessert production. Validation trials confirmed we could maintain product texture, cut cooling costs by 70%, and achieve more consistent quality.
