Maintaining the efficiency of the horizontal autoclave
A horizontal autoclave is a device used to sterilise various materials and instruments in medical, scientific and industrial laboratories. In order for the autoclave to function properly and provide safe sterilisation, it requires regular maintenance and repair. The autoclave should be maintained on a regular basis according to the manufacturer's recommendations. If you are not familiar with the procedures [...]
The most important centrifugal pump spare parts: overview and functions
A centrifugal pump is a hydrodynamic machine designed to move fluid from one point to another. This type of pump uses centrifugal force to make the fluid move. Centrifugal pump spare parts play an important role in ensuring that this machine works properly. In this article, we will take a look at some of the most important centrifugal pump spare parts. Centrifugal pump spare parts play a [...]
Homogenisation of food products
The homogenisation of many liquid and paste-like products is now becoming one of the main types of processing in mass production. Thanks to this process, the product will not stratify during long-term storage or transportation. As a rule, other types of processing do not provide similar quality effects. The process of breaking down the fat globules in milk into smaller fat globules during dispersion and their [...]
The use of nitrogen in packaging technology
Food manufacturers are using advanced technologies to increase the shelf life of their products and reduce the amount of chemical additives and preservatives. Nitrogen, as the main constituent of air, is safe, colourless, tasteless and odourless, chemically inert, and does not change the consistency or colour of the product. In the food industry, nitrogen is registered as food additive E-941 and is a gas medium for packaging and [...]

Maintaining the diaphragm pump: important spare parts and their replacement
A diaphragm pump is a device used to move fluid from one place to another using a membrane. It is often used in industry, medicine and other fields. The main components of a diaphragm pump are diaphragms, valves, and pump heads. Diaphragms are usually made of elastomers such as nitrile, EPDM or fluororubber, and they are very important for the proper operation of [...]
Sterilisation, pasteurisation, vacuum cooking
Autoclaves make it possible to heat treat a wide range of products and different types of packaging to give the products the shelf life required by the market for a particular product. There are three main processes used for heat treatment: Autoclaves allow for professional heat treatment with minimal time investment. Moreover, water cascade technology is effective in both heating and [...]
Centrifugal pumps: principle of operation and advantages in pumping liquids
Conventional pumps are used to pump liquids that are at the same level or lower than the pump itself. But if the liquid is at a higher level than the pump, a centrifugal pump is used. In this article, we will look at what centrifugal pumps are and how they work. Centrifugal pumps are one of the most common pumps used for pumping liquids. [...]
Rotary pump: structure and function
The rotary pump is an efficient and reliable solution for pumping liquids, especially in industry and manufacturing. But as with any machine, rotary pump spare parts can wear out over time and need to be replaced. In this article, we will take a look at the main rotary pump spare parts and their functions. The rotor is the main part of a rotary pump that provides pumping [...]
