We have been able to apply our know-how in plant construction, process technology and process design for numerous customers with the most varied requirements. This has resulted in individually designed plants for companies that process liquids across all industries. Our customers use our systems and process technology for the production of liquids in a wide variety of projects as you see below:

In the new mozzarella plant of the Glanbia Cheese and Leprino Foods group of companies in Portlaoise, Ireland, high standards apply to implementation, project management as well as a strict division into a high-care and low-care area. In the high care area, hygienic design measures are implemented very consistently. Ruland took over a large part of the plant and piping construction for the liquid handling for the mozzarella production, you can find the details in our project report.

Based on its state of the art production facilities for high quality NFC apple juices in Germany, Dreher now builds up a new plant in South-Poland with two big tank farms, both fully automated. Ruland supplies the complete technology for processing the fresh juice after pressing, including handling of raw juice, short time heating units, degassing system, tank farm, CIP cleaning unit and the automation.

Tentorium wanted to convert its small, simple and manual production of api-phyto products into a modern industrial production facility. Ruland has developed the plant in an order for consulting and then designed and implemented it.

For Iprona AG, Ruland implemented the equipment for a new factory with process technology for fruit processing and purification. The project was implemented in two phases: Consulting and implementation.

Dr. Kurt Wolff GmbH & Co. KG is planning the conversion to a new fully automated tank farm with ex protection (partially) for its most important products. In the course of consulting, Ruland has reviewed the options for the modernisation and design of the tank farm for liquids.

Ruland implemented a process system for the pasteurisation of herb and tea extracts for Plantextrakt in Vestenbergsgreuth. They are producing numerous batches in variations. Plantextrakt is a global leader in the production of tea, fruit and herb extracts.

In Pohlheim/Germany, Chr. Hansen replaces and extents parts of its production and process technology. Ruland supplies a new fermenter a larger glucose tank. Installation, assembly and start-up will be done in a very limited period to avoid production disturbances. For this, we will pre-assemble all modules as far as possible in our assembly hall.

For CocaCola HBC Poland, Ruland developed process equipment for syrup production for energy drinks. The task was to find a concept for the slightly soluble components, to design an efficient and functional dextrose dissolution system and an automated operation with a complex dosing system. The system supplies further guarantees high accuracy and repeatability of parameters of the various syrups.

Fidel Dreher GmbH has expanded its production and storage capacity many times over. Ruland supplied the new tank farm with a capacity of 8 million tank litres, with systems to accept and store raw materials. With the associated process and automation technology, Fidel Dreher has one of the most modern tank farms.

Modern plant technology must support the production processes optimally: An efficient work-flow is necessary for sterilising stainless steel containers. Unique circumstances and space options demand an ingenious solution. The reference project Grünewald describes the container sterilisation.

For the global producer and supplier of fruit concentrates in Brazil, Ruland developed an aseptic container loading system for easier container handling. For a quick, safe and ergonomic production, we equipped the system with two container filling stations. The loading system has a distribution panel that enables many complex processes.

For Doehler Poland, the national leader in the NFC juices, fruit and vegetable concentrates production, Ruland modernized the installation for the production of NFC juices. As part of the project, we supplied a system for thermal processing and storage of apple juices. The advantage of the system is its flexibility to process different products and to run different performances.

As a first company in the world, B.blend developed an all-in-one machine for drinks in capsules. Ruland supplied an aseptic container discharge system for their plant in Brazil. The design of the container station is modular which allows for continuous aseptic conditions. Further the aseptic container station can be easily extended with further modules.

Ruland supported the manufacturer of aseptic filling systems with planning and installation of a process area in their new production facility in Mönchengladbach/Germany. Ruland delivered a production plant for mixing, thermal treatment and cold aseptic supply of sterile product used for test and validating the aseptic filling systems.

To one of the leading manufacturers of alcohol-free beverages in Poland, Ruland supplied a technologically advanced, comprehensive system for the preparation of syrup used as basis for functional beverages production.
