High-pressure applications for food processing

Businesses that process and market food products are subject to numerous national and international legislations in order to ensure food safety and food health at all times. As a result, food hygiene requirements cover all areas of a business – from primary production through production itself, processing and ultimately also sales. Hammelmann offers powerful and innovative cleaning systems for each of these areas and every requirement. This is why we focus intensely on the safety and reliability of our products because we know that unsafe food products due to contaminated and unhygienic production equipment must not be brought to market and can cause huge financial damage. This can also lead to important certifications being lost. Well-coordinated systems from a single source have always proven to be the best solution.

Our cleaning systems are as unique as our customers and their challenges. At Hammelmann we will support you from the very first contact with us and we apply the principle that there is solution for every requirement! Therefore, take advantage of the advice from our experts and develop your system with us.

Hammelmann tank cleaning devices remove deposits and caking from the inside walls of vessels and installations with a wide range of diameters and with operating pressures up to 1800 bar. The devices are driven solely by the recoil forces of the water jets. Hammelmann supplies a wide range of nozzle holders to cover the many different applications. The tank cleaning devices can be fitted with one or two nozzle holders.

Vessels used for food processing are subject to the strictest of hygiene requirements. Essential standards guarantee high food safety and quality and reduce risks of hazards. In order to obtain important certifications that are also relevant for marketing, several issues must be complied with. Hammelmann tank cleaning devices can therefore be produced with FDA-certified components. This means that vessels can be cleaned thoroughly and reliably removing residue materials and contaminations of all types and then prepared for further production steps. Depending on the use case the tank cleaning devices can be operated with cold or hot water, and also with or without the addition of a food cleaner, and this will help you comply with the standards and obtain certifications.

Hammelmann offers you a solution for whatever you want to clean, whether this is high-performance pump units for stationary production equipment or highly-mobile tank cleaning systems for flexible use at many different locations:

Nearly all materials can be easily cut and crushed with water and this is also the case in the food industry. Hammelmann sells cutting pumps and equipment between 600 and 3000 bar which have the capacity to cut or crush food products and deep-frozen goods of all types. The use of water jets for cutting and crushing food products offers you huge benefits in comparison to traditional systems.

The optimum use of available resources not only helps the environment, it is also a crucial factor in commercial success. Rapid-switching high-pressure pumps from Hammelmann impress with their excellent implementation of available energy and their maximum reliability in daily operation.

Traditional procedures for extracting meat residues are expensive and laborious. Experienced operators must carefully cut the meat residues from the bone by hand using electric knives. This process is very laborious and knives must be re-sharpened regularly. In contrast to separators, undesirable elements such as bone fragments, veins or bone marrow, are not transferred into the meat residue volume.

Another way of meat residue extraction! Meat residue can be removed gently and efficiently from bones using high-pressure water jets. The meat residues are caught in a sieve and the water is discharged. Depending on the type and state of the meat, the water pressure or jet pattern can be adapted to achieve the best possible results.
