Rotating equipment always needs maintenance and, without service, requires your attention at the wrong time.
We are service partner of Alfa Laval in the Benelux. Our service engineers are trained by Alfa Laval. With only 2 inspections and mainteance times a year, you avoid downtime, unnecessary costs and your Contherm® will last longer.
Periodic maintenance and inspection of the Contherm®
“Service engineer Robin came to repair the seals of the Contherm®, but he ended up looking at the entire machine. His knowledge and how he does his work were good. He showed our mechanic how the machine is put together and gave us tips on how we can better maintain the Contherm® ourselves. He did more than was agreed upon in advance and that was nice.“

“Fluidz knows how to unburden.
A while ago, a heat exchanger was broken and the supplier gave a long delivery time.
Dominique then thinks along, with the result that we have a temporary installation within 2-3 days. Or take the flow switch , which was not readily available, so that we were in danger of coming to a standstill. He came up with an alternative, which allowed us to keep running.
Fluidz therefore has a copy of such a part in stock.
From time to time, third parties also come to work in the pilot plant on behalf of Fluidz.
If necessary, someone from Fluidz will come along so that we can continue to do our own work, while the mechanics do their work. That is indeed unburdening.”

“Amixo mixes and (re)packages powders and liquids. Then I know that Fluidz can always help me if needed.
I’ve known Dominique for about 15 to 20 years. He knows where he is talking about and is service-oriented. When I call, he responds quickly and accurately. If you have a problem, he always knows how to find a solution because of his experience.”

“The M-CIP was, I now work elsewhere, very useful for us in the beverage preparation department. The price-productivity ratio is good, you don’t have to adjust systems, you can control a wide range of cleanings and you don’t have to be a high-tech operator to test.”
Rapidly changing market
I worked at a producer for alcoholic beverages. Due to a changed mix of products, colours and lower alcohol percentages, there was insufficient natural resistance to growing micro-organisms, colour and/or flavour transfers. The tanks, pipes and machines had to be cleaned differently. The market changed so quickly, also in the CIP field. We were searching.
CIP adapted to our needs
We didn’t want to immediately convert the entire factory to be able to connect everything to a complete CIP. In addition, it was too big an investment and we still had to test whether it worked. The starting point became a standard M-CIP design and with Dominique we discussed our additional wishes: choice of heating element, cleaning fluids, hot and cold water connection, etc. On location, we could try all kinds of things with valves and hoses, so that it was completely tailored to our situation. In the field, the software engineer took care of the fine tuning and we received on-the-job training. We programmed the different cleaning programs, depending on the tank size (a range of 500 to 100,000 litres) and different pipe diameters. It’s not a complicated system and as sr. operator, the basic parameters can be adjusted well.
A test in 1 day
So we didn’t know exactly what we wanted to do with the central CIP within the entire factory, which has 7 production lines, 300 tanks and more than 4000 meters of piping. With the M-CIP, we were able to see how everything reacts, what the quality is and what physical forces are at play. Of course, you want to keep the cleaning as short as possible and this was an effective and quick way. In 1 day we already had a test. This made the choice for a larger CIP much easier.
Useful for a smaller company
For a smaller company and/or if you have smaller tanks, the M-CIP is also useful. You fill it with water and a jerry can with cleaning agent, provide compressed air and then all you have to do is plug it in. You can choose different cleaning agents, with a pump and extra valve both lye and acid cleaning is possible. This makes the M-CIP extra flexible. Also literally, because his mobility is very easy. You really drive it everywhere. Last but not least: the safety of the system is fully guaranteed with all kinds of safeguards in the software but also in the hardware, so that the operator and the equipment can be operated safely.

The condition monitoring detects damage to bearings and seals. You place the measuring instrument on the pump or the Contherm® and the condition monitoring measures all vibrations.
AI analyzes these vibrations and signals any deviations. You will receive a notification of this immediately. After this, you can determine the moment to remedy the defect yourself and prevent consequential damage.
The Alfa Laval Contherm® is an advanced heat exchanger that requires specific maintenance and visual checks to ensure its reliability.
Our service team was trained by Alfa Laval in Denmark.
We have developed a program together with Alfa Laval to ensure the best performance.
