See It in Action Before You Invest
More and more hygienic manufacturers are taking a try-before-you-buy approach when investing in new process equipment, and the Alfa Laval Application & Innovation Centre makes this possible. Recently, a leading European sauce manufacturer was looking to upgrade its pump technology while maintaining performance, improving cleanability, and ensuring the gentle handling of delicate sauce formulations. By carrying out a series of validation trials at Alfa Laval's Innovation Centre using the customer's own recipes, ingredients and process conditions, the team was able to evaluate performance in a real-world environment before making a decision. The result? Complete confidence that the Alfa Laval DuraCirc® pump was the right next-generation solution for their application. Whether you're considering new pumps, valves, heat transfer equipment or other process technologies, the Alfa Laval Innovation Centre provides the opportunity to test, validate and optimise solutions before committing to an investment.

Improve Paint & Coatings Production with HiFlux Filtration A/S
In paint and coatings manufacturing, product quality depends on removing contaminants before they reach the final product. Pigment agglomerates, undispersed solids, gel particles, fibres, and other foreign matter can affect finish quality, block nozzles, damage equipment, and increase downtime. HiFlux Filtration A/S systems are designed to tackle these challenges head-on. As a supplier of HiFlux Filtration A/S solutions, ITS can provide a range of self-cleaning filters suitable for paint, coatings, resins, binders, glues, and related applications. The most commonly used systems in the sector include: ✅ Auto-line MLR, LR and XLR Self-Cleaning Filters Designed for flows from 2 to 35 m³/h and filtration levels from 50 to 400 microns, these filters are used by the majority of paint manufacturers due to their reliability and continuous filtration capabilities. ✅ Auto-line Clean Design Filters Featuring polished internal surfaces, minimal dead zones, and optional cleaning nozzles, these units are designed for easy cleaning and consistent product quality. They can also be integrated into CIP cleaning regimes. ✅ Mobile Filtration Units Available on skids for easy movement between production lines, filling stations, and cleaning areas, providing additional operational flexibility. ⭐The Benefits for Paint & Coatings Manufacturers: • Improved final product quality and surface finish • Protection of pumps, filling equipment, and spray nozzles • Continuous self-cleaning operation with reduced downtime • Simplified cleaning and colour changeovers • Lower maintenance requirements compared to traditional bag filters • Reduced waste, lower operating costs, and improved production efficiency HiFlux Filtration A/S systems are trusted by manufacturers worldwide...
🛠 ITS Servicing Showcase 🛠
When a pump starts making an unusual noise, it’s important to investigate before further damage occurs. Our ITS Servicing & Maintenance team recently attended a scheduled routine site visit at a canning production facility to assess an Alfa Laval LKH-90 pump that had been making a strange noise during operation. The team removed the front cover to gain a better view of the pump’s internal components and check for any foreign objects that could be causing wear or damage. On inspection, it was identified that the impeller had made contact with the front casing, highlighting the need for a more detailed assessment to determine the cause and extent of the damage. 💡 Our solution: The pump will be brought in-house for a more thorough assessment. Once the issue has been resolved, we can return the pump to our base for the necessary repair work to get it back to reliable working condition. Unusual pump noises should never be ignored. Incorrect set-up or user error can contribute to internal component contact and premature wear. Ensuring pumps are installed, configured and operated correctly can help reduce the risk of damage, minimise unplanned downtime and extend equipment service life. 📖 Find out more about ITS Servicing & Maintenance: https://www.industrialtradingsolutions.com/its-servicing/ 💻 Explore our range of Alfa Laval pumps and components via our website: https://www.industrialtradingsolutions.com/productcategory/alfa-laval-pumps/ 🔧 Need support with pump servicing, maintenance or repairs?
