Hygienic cleaning systems: Reliable solutions for maximum product safety in the food and beverage industry

In the food and beverage industry, hygiene and product safety are top priorities. Our specially developed cleaning systems help you meet these stringent requirements reliably and consistently. Our systems ensure maximum cleanliness and guarantee safe production processes, so your products always comply with the required hygiene standards. Our extensive portfolio covers a range of applications, including container rinsers, crate washers, CIP systems and bottle cleaning machines.

Linear Rinser – emptying system

The Hormes linear rinser stands out with its modular design and versatile configuration options, making it highly adaptable to various applications. It is ideal for emptying and cleaning different types of container such as jars, bottles and cans. Depending on your requirements, the cleaning process can be carried out using water, air or a chemical component. As a special feature, the linear rinser can also function as a pre-cleaner before the bottle cleaning machine, ensuring particularly thorough treatment of heavily soiled containers, such as yoghurt jars.

Advantages of the linear rinser:

  • Versatile use for various container types
  • Compact design for easy integration
  • No format parts required
  • Robust construction for industrial applications

CIP systems

Hormes offers CIP systems (Clean-in-Place) that are specifically designed to meet your cleaning requirements. These systems are ideal for cleaning pipelines, blending systems, tanks, fillers and flash pasteurisers. Thanks to their flexible design, they can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. Depending on your specific needs, the system size, number of containers, cleaning circuits and level of automation are individually configured to maximise efficiency in your operation.

Benefits of the Hormes CIP systems:

  • Customised cleaning programmes for a wide range of requirements
  • Efficient use of water and chemicals to reduce costs
  • High level of automation to enhance operational safety

Crate washers

In any modern returnable bottling plant, a crate washer is essential for both crate hygiene and appearance. Returnable crates must be free from residues and visually appealing to meet consumers’ high expectations. Hormes provides crate washers in various configurations with adjustable cleaning stages, ensuring optimal cleaning results thanks to a modular design.

Advantages of Hormes crate washers:

  • Modular system with individually selectable cleaning stages
  • Adjustable cleaning nozzles for the best possible results
  • Optional heating with a choice of different media
  • Energy-efficient operation through media integration with the bottle cleaning machine

Caustic dissolving systems

Caustic soda lye plays a key role in many industrial cleaning processes. Major users include CIP (Cleaning in Place) systems and bottle washing machines. Hormes dissolving systems provide a safe and efficient solution for dissolving caustic soda lye and other solid substances. Depending on requirements, the systems can be tailored to individual machines or entire sites.

Advantages of Hormes lye dissolving systems

  • Modular design: Available in various sizes to meet individual needs
  • Safe dissolution: Optimised for caustic soda lye and other solids
  • Flexible options: Optional storage and distribution of dissolved substances
  • Easy commissioning: Quick and straightforward to set up

Retrofit solutions

In addition to new machines, Hormes offers specialised retrofit solutions for container cleaning. At our facility, we modernise specific series from the manufacturers KHS and Krones. This process not only involves replacing all spare and wear parts but also equipping the machines with new format-specific components. We further enhance our solutions by integrating state-of-the-art control systems as well as safety and automation technology.

Advantages of Hormes retrofit solutions:

  • Sustainable approach by conserving resources
  • Durable, proven technology
  • Cost advantages compared to new machines
  • High spare parts availability on the open market

Lye sedimentation

In bottle cleaning processes, it is crucial to use caustic soda lye from the bottle washing machine economically and efficiently. Hormes lye sedimentation systems extend the service life of the lye, save energy and contribute to sustainable operations. These systems can be designed for indoor or outdoor installation depending on specific needs. During maintenance or servicing of the bottle washing machine, the lye does not need to be discarded – it can be safely stored within the system.

Advantages of Hormes sedimentation systems:

  • Energy-efficient regeneration of cleaning lye
  • Fully automated system
  • Easy integration and signal exchange with the bottle washing machine
  • Dimensions customised for the volume and installation location

Container rinse system

The Hormes container rinse system provides an effective solution for cleaning containers immediately after the filling and sealing process. Thanks to its easy integration into existing filling lines, it enhances the appearance and cleanliness of product containers such as bottles and cans by reliably removing product residues and deposits, even from hard-to-reach areas.

Advantages of the Hormes container rinse system:

  • Simple integration into existing systems
  • Effective container cleaning using nozzles
  • Conserve resources by reusing process water
  • Convenient height adjustment

Label compactor

The Hormes label compactor is an innovative machine designed to reduce the volume of label waste generated during the bottle cleaning process. It compresses labels to just 30% of their original volume while achieving a dewatering rate of up to 80%. This significant reduction helps to considerably lower disposal costs by minimising waste volume.

Advantages of the Hormes label compactor:

  • Lye recovery: The lye reclaimed during the process can be reused in the bottle cleaning machine
  • Waste volume reduced by up to 70%
  • Sturdy, durable construction
  • Easy integration thanks to a modular design
