LIFE SCIENCE – WHEN
SAFETY, HIGH PURITY, AND
STERILITY IS PARAMOUNT
The life science industry encompasses companies that
operate in the research, development, manufacturing, and
commercialisation of products that improve health and
quality of life.
In this field, the importance of safety, purity,
and sterility is crucial. AVK Group’s products are
designed to meet these stringent requirements,
enabling safe and efficient production
processes for food and life science products.
This is achieved through valves manufactured
with materials approved under FDA regulations,
EN 1935/2004, and EU No. 10/2011.
CASE
EFFICIENT SUGAR PRODUCTION — MINIMUM
DOWNTIME WITH SPECIALISED VALVES
InterApp has supplied an extensive range of
valves. These include:
Both manual and pneumatic actuators are used
ensuring optimal functionality and automation.
The AVK company, InterApp, supplies a wide
range of valves for the life science industry.
• For handling chemicals, Bianca butterfly
valves from DN 50 to DN 200
• For various processes such as vapour
generation, evaporation, etc., Desponia®
butterfly valves from DN 50 to DN 1000
• For evaporation of syrups and vacuum,
Desponia® plus butterfly valves from DN 50
to DN 500
• For beet processing and centrifugation, knife
gate valves from DN 150 to DN 700
• For biogas production and pump protection,
Rhea swing check valve from DN 100 to DN
300
This collaboration not only strengthens
Südzucker‘s operational integrity, but also
ensures a production with the highest quality
and safety standards throughout the year.
InterApp sees itself as a partner, collaborating
with Südzucker to develop solutions that
further optimise the manufacturing site. This
partnership highlights a shared commitment
to enhancing reliability and promoting
sustainability in production processes.
Südzucker AG, a customer of InterApp, is
the parent company of the Südzucker Group
which is divided into five diverse segments:
sugar, special products, CropEnergies,
starch, and fruit. The company is adept at
transforming agricultural raw materials into
an array of high-quality products, primarily
targeting both industrial customers and end
consumers. The product range extends beyond
food items to include animal feed and various
other goods for sectors across both food
and non-food industries. A crucial aspect of
Südzucker‘s operations is the complete and
efficient utilisation and refinement of these raw
materials.
Effective maintenance of production facilities
as well as reliable production cycles are
vital to avoid any interruptions during peak
manufacturing periods. In response to this
need, the Südzucker AG manufacturing site of
Offenau has integrated InterApp valves into its
operational framework due to the high reliability
and easy maintenance of these valves.
