Q: How do you support frequent flavor or formula changeovers?

PK systems are designed with sanitary finishes and easy-access configurations to reduce cleaning time and support efficient changeovers.

Unsere Anlagen helfen Herstellern dabei, das Potenzial der Natur in leistungsstarke, hochwertige Produkte umzuwandeln. Pulver werden auf die perfekte Größe verfeinert und durch Flüssiggranulierung mit Ölen oder Fetten zu starken, wirksamen Agglomeraten verarbeitet. Empfindliche Pflanzen und Blumen werden mit Sorgfalt behandelt, wobei präzise Rezepturkontrollen für Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit und Luftstrom eingesetzt werden, um ihre natürliche Kraft und Schönheit zu bewahren. Unsere fortschrittlichen Mischtechniken sorgen dafür, dass jede Mischung gleichmäßig ist, während Aromen, Öle und Schmierstoffe nahtlos mit Pulvern überzogen werden, um die Tablettierleistung zu verbessern. Nichts wird verschwendet – unerwünschte Lösungsmittel werden zurückgewonnen und recycelt, um eine höhere Effizienz und Nachhaltigkeit zu erzielen. Durch spezielle Impf- und Sterilisationsverfahren verstärken wir die natürliche Vitalität der Pflanzen und schützen sie gleichzeitig vor Bakterien, Schimmel und Pilzen. Schließlich sorgt unser kontrollierter Trocknungsprozess dafür, dass Blumen, Pflanzen und Samen den perfekten Feuchtigkeitsgehalt aufweisen, wodurch Reinheit, Wirksamkeit und Konsistenz in jeder Charge gewährleistet sind.
