Dissolving systems for cleaning lye

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

Carbonators

Precise carbonation is essential for the production of carbonated beverages such as mineral water and sparkling fruit juices. Hormes carbonation systems provide an excellent solution, often with optional pre-degassing to ensure the exact CO₂ content in the beverage. An optional buffer tank and integrated beverage cooling allow seamless connection to your filling machine, enhancing the efficiency of your entire production process.

Advantages of Hormes carbonation systems:

  • Flexible adaptation to different requirements
  • Precise CO₂ adjustment for consistent beverage quality
  • Easy integration of measuring technology
  • Low maintenance costs

Lye sedimentation system

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
