One of the major challenges faced by today’s food manufacturers is the ever-increasing demand for new and better products. To survive and prosper in this fast moving industry, your R&D activities must be efficient and cost-effective.

FOOD PROCESSING PILOT PLANTS

Gerstenberg Schröder (GS) has developed pilot plants for crystallised fat products like margarine, shortening and spreads and for emulsified food products like mayonnaise, sauces and dressings. Furthermore, pilot plants are available for thermal processes such as heating, cooling, pasteurisation and sterilisation of food, pharmaceutical and chemical products.

GS has fully equipped SSHE pilot plants where our highly qualified staff will assist you. These facilities are available to you at a reasonable cost. Alternatively, you can purchase a pilot plant for in-house installation. Please contact our technology department by e-mail to book or for further information on availability for trials.

As skid-mounted process units all GS pilot plants are easy to install and easy to operate with the GS Logic control system.

CONSISTATOR THERMAL TREATMENT PILOT PLANT

The GS Consistator pilot plant is a flexible unit, particularly suitable for thermal treatment like heating, cooling, pasteurisation and sterilisation of products within confectionery, dairy and fine food.

The Consistator pilot plant is especially designed for treatment of products that are sensitive to mechanical shear and heating, or both. In addition, it is ideal for heat treatment of highly viscous products with or without particles, e.g. custard, marmalade, chocolate products, curd, cream cheese, sauces, ketchup and starch slurry.

PERFECTOR CRYSTALLISED FAT PRODUCTS PILOT PLANTS

The GS Perfector pilot plant is ideal for crystallisation of all kinds of fat products, especially margarine, spreads and shortening.
