Products and Services
All applications in the production of food and drinks
UniTec develops, installs, maintains, and repairs all equipment in the production chain for beer, soft drinks, wine, dairy, and food.
We guarantee the high standards of hygiene required in the food industry in all of our equipment and installations.
Activated carbon filters are used as part of the water treatment to filter out chemicals like chlorine and to remove any odors from the water supply. Steam sterilization and water backwash can be integrated.
These installations can be used to blend larger quantities of different liquids into one homogenous solution. The main applications are in the production of soft drinks and beer. Examples include mixing water with beer to reduce gravity and syrup with water to create soft drinks.
Using a high pressure jet of carbon dioxide or nitrogen gas, the gasses are quickly dissolved into the product in-line, which improves quality. This design does not require a holding tube or an addition mixer to fully dissolve the gas. Can be used as a unit in itself or integrated into a flash pasteurizer.
We offer complete installations for Cleaning in Place, custom built to fit the required capacity and specifications of the existing equipment. Our CIP units can be built to provide cleaning with either hot water, caustic soda, acids or any combination of the above.
These machines combine three functions in one device: deaeration, blending and carbonation on 1 unit. The system is designed to be able to process beers with high gravity.
Direct in-line mixing of several components with high accuracy. Continuous high-accuracy carbonation of soft-drinks with variable flow rate. We have models with or without a buffer tank.
Oxygen is stripped from water in our units by using carbon dioxide or nitrogen as a stripping gas. Units can be configured as either a vacuum deaerator or a stripping column design. Very low concentrations of remaining oxygen can be achieved.
Flash pasteurizer is a unit for pasteurizing beer, soft drinks and other carbonated drinks in a highly accurate HTST process. The flash pasteurizer can be configured with fix and variable flow rate. High heat recovery, gentle product handling and high accuracy for pasteurization units combined with the greatest possible cost effectiveness.
Hydraulic conveying systems rely on dissolving sugar or powders directly at the feeding point. They thus avoid the operational problems of mechanical and pneumatic conveying systems. Firstly, the energy used is not just used for conveying the sugar but also initiates a pre-blending process, which saves energy in later production stages. Secondly, the expensive measures required by ATEX guidelines do not apply to the construction and operation of hydraulic conveying systems. Continuous dissolving and batch dissolving are both possible, cold as well as hot sugar dissolving.
Small mobile skids with pump and flow meter.
We offer a wide variety of filter solutions for either particle filtration or sterile filtration of liquids and gasses. These filters are designed for use in many sectors, including the following industries: wine, beer, mineral water and soft drink production, dairy, food, chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
For the syrup room equipment UniTec offers complete modular systems – which represent an optimal customized solution for the customer. You can combine elements according to your needs and wishes. All units are efficient process systems and practical to handle. Each unit (module) can be integrated in the total syrup room concept.
Available modules in syrup room:
- Bag in drum pulps emptyer: user friendly handling, high capacity, high viscosity products, complete recovery of product, Cleaning in Place (CIP) possible.
- Solid high-shear mixer and liquid doser: dissolving all difficult products, lots managing and traceability, all-in one CIP including solids hopper, and optional: code bar tracking, sugar manager.
- In-line blending: multiple streams, multi-capacity, suited for all production processes and all markets.
- Multitubular and plate pasteurizer: recovers up to 85% of energy used in aseptic duties, pressure safe control, possible to integrate (if needed): deaerator/homogenizer, aseptic tank/saver tank.
The wort aeration unit is a precise in-line dosing system for air or oxygen in wort. A special in-line injector "Wort-Jet" dissolves the gas directly in the wort to provide a reliable and reproducible fermentation.
The unit can be available in manual and automatic version and can be equipped with a complete air treatment (coalescer, particle filter and sterile filter). Integration in the existing plant can be easily fit in.
Heat exchanger for cooling wort or for chilling beer. The device is mounted on a skid and equipped with the necessary valves, beer pump and cooling pump, instrumentation and electrical cabinet.
These machines allow you to add additives in different rates and quantities, all-at-once and with great accuracy. They also monitor the flow of beer in the system. Mass flow transmitters measure the correct dosage of each additive. The additives are dosed from containers or vessels (with or without heating jackets). All kind of additives can be dosed such as flavors, hops, enzymes, sugar,… The sterilization of the dosing units can be done separate from the beer line, so beer production is possible during sterilization of the dosing unit.
We provide complete solutions for automatic yeast propagation installations and subsequent in-line yeast injection. The yeast propagation tank can be equipped with automatic aeration and agitation, as well as temperature control.
