WE'RE LIVE WITH SAP BUSINESS ONE

We’re excited to announce that we’re now live with SAP Business One. This is a major milestone for ITS that will strengthen our operations, visibility, and future growth.

For our customers, this means better service, improved efficiency, and greater accuracy across everything we do, from faster response times to more reliable order processing and availability.

👏💐A huge thank you to Scott Banks, Lee Thompson, and the entire team at Ascarii for their support, expertise, and dedication in getting us to this point. Your guidance has been invaluable throughout the journey.

LIAG® VALVES: OPTIONS & ADVANTAGES

When it comes to pigging systems, every component plays a role in improving efficiency – but valves are one of the most important. The right valve design doesn’t just keep product flowing smoothly; it helps maximise product recovery, minimise waste, and maintain the highest hygienic standards.

That’s exactly what LIAG® valves are designed to do.

THE ROLE OF GENTLE-HANDLING PUMPS IN FLAVOUR PRESERVATION

When you step back, it’s clear that gentle handling isn’t just a technical detail – it’s a key part of protecting everything you’ve worked to create, from flavour and texture through to overall product quality.

Flavour preservation begins with gentle product handling. For example, the Alfa Laval SRU Rotary Lobe Pump is...

IS YOUR DUCTWORK HOLDING YOU BACK?

🔹Collapsed ducting

We often find ductwork that has collapsed under pressure, restricting airflow and killing system performance.

How KMH helps: We redesign and install ducting with the correct material strength and pressure rating to keep systems running efficiently.

🔹Wrong material selection

Using the wrong materials in harsh or corrosive environments leads to early failure, leaks, and contamination risks...

DON'T WAIT FOR A VALVE FAILURE TO EXPOSE A BIGGER PROBLEM

In many processing environments, valve issues don't announce themselves with warning lights or alarms. They develop quietly in the background until a leak, contamination event, or unexpected shutdown forces immediate action. By then, the costs have already started to mount.

The good news? Most of these issues are preventable with the right maintenance strategy, regular inspections, and a proactive approach to equipment care.

SURFACE VS DEPTH VS MEMBRANE FILTRATION

There are three main filtration principles – each trapping particles in a different way:

Surface filtration
Particles larger than the pore openings are held on the surface, forming a filter cake that often becomes the main filtration layer.
Depth filtration
Particles are captured throughout the thickness of the media as fluid moves through complex pathways, using mechanisms like straining, interception, inertia, diffusion, and adhesion.

WHY AGITATOR DESIGN IMPACTS CIP EFFICIENCY

When it comes to effective Clean-in-Place (CIP), agitator design plays a critical role. It’s not just about achieving the right mix – poorly designed agitators can create dead zones, uneven flow patterns, and areas where product residues can build up, all of which make cleaning more difficult and less reliable.

Vak Kimsa agitators are specifically engineered with...

ALFA LAVAL CONDITION MONITORING: CHANGING THE GAME

In today’s fast-paced production environments, uptime and performance are more critical than ever. Condition monitoring has moved from being a “nice to have” to a must-have tool for manufacturers looking to stay competitive and meet sustainability goals.

“Just 45 minutes of maintenance triggered by our condition monitoring solution prevented 4 hours of unexpected downtime and 2,000 litres of wasted water.”

GOOD LUCK ENGLAND!!!⚽🏆🍻

Like millions of fans across the country, we’ll be cheering on the Three Lions as they take to the world stage.

As a proud British company, we know a thing or two about teamwork, preparation, consistency, and performing when it matters most. Whether it’s a World Cup football match or a complex hygienic processing operation, success rarely happens by accident. It comes from having the right people, the right strategy, and the right equipment in place.

🍷 WINE CLARIFICATION WITH THE ITM-4

When consumers pour a glass of wine, clarity is often the first indicator of quality. Long before aroma and taste come into play, a bright, clear appearance sets expectations.

For one California winery, maintaining that level of consistency while optimising production efficiency was a challenge. Traditional visual inspections and time-based process checks left room for variability and required significant manual effort.

By implementing the Anderson-Negele ITM-4 turbidity meter, the winery transformed its clarification process through continuous, automated turbidity monitoring.

The results:
