Design, Manufacturing and Installation of Complete Process Plants for the Food Industry

In the food industry, having an efficient, safe process plant that is fully adapted to actual production requirements is essential for ensuring product quality, optimizing resources and complying with the sector’s hygiene and food-safety standards.

At Parcitank, we design, manufacture and install complete process plants for the food industry, providing an integrated solution that covers every stage of the project, from the initial concept and engineering phase to installation, automation and commissioning.

Our goal is to enable each customer to centralize the entire project with a single specialized supplier, reducing coordination complexity and ensuring the correct integration of all equipment and systems.

Integrated solutions for food processing plants

Every industrial facility has specific requirements. The type of product, production capacity, manufacturing processes, cleaning procedures, available space and required level of automation are some of the factors that must be analyzed before the design phase begins.

For this reason, at Parcitank we develop every project to measure. We assess the customer’s requirements and design a solution that efficiently integrates the different equipment, circuits and components within the plant.

Our projects may include:

• Storage tanks in different capacities.
• Fermentation tanks.
• Process vessels and testing tanks.
• CIP cleaning systems.
• Pipework and valve systems.
• Electrical installations.
• Automation and control systems.
• Stairs, platforms and walkways.
• Stainless steel structures and accessories.
• Complete on-site assembly and installation.

The integration of these components allows us to create functional, safe installations designed to meet the production demands of each company.

Process plant design tailored to each project

Design is one of the most important stages in the development of a food processing plant. Proper planning helps optimize production flows, facilitate cleaning and maintenance tasks, and make better use of the available space.

At Parcitank, we analyze every project individually. Our team studies the equipment layout, pipework routes, operator access points, maintenance areas and connections between the different stages of the process.

Through 3D industrial plant design, we can visualize the facility in advance, verify the position of each item of equipment and detect potential interferences before manufacturing begins.

This stage allows decisions to be made more accurately and gives the customer a clear view of the final result.

Manufacturing stainless steel tanks and equipment

Stainless steel is one of the most widely used materials in the food industry due to its hygienic properties, corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

At Parcitank, we manufacture custom stainless steel tanks and equipment, adapting their dimensions, capacities and technical specifications to the requirements of each process.

The equipment included in a process plant may consist of storage tanks, fermentation vessels, preparation tanks, auxiliary equipment and vessels designed for product testing or trials.

Custom manufacturing allows every item of equipment to be adapted to the operating conditions of the facility, including temperature, pressure, product type, agitation system and cleaning procedures.

We also pay particular attention to finishes, welds and hygienic equipment design, which are essential for facilitating cleaning and reducing the risk of contamination.

Fermentation and storage tanks in different capacities

Tanks are among the most important components in many food processing plants.

Depending on the application, they may be used to store raw materials, intermediate products or finished products. They can also be incorporated into mixing, fermentation, maturation, preservation or preparation processes.

At Parcitank, we design and manufacture storage tanks and fermentation vessels in different capacities, ranging from units intended for testing or small production batches to large tanks for industrial facilities.

Each tank can be equipped with the components required for its operation, including agitation systems, heating or cooling jackets, insulation, instrumentation, access manways, level sensors, valves and hygienic connections.

CIP systems for cleaning food processing facilities

Cleaning is a critical aspect of any food processing plant. CIP systems, or Cleaning in Place systems, allow the internal cleaning of tanks, pipework and equipment without having to dismantle the installation.

Our projects can include fixed or mobile CIP cleaning systems, adapted to the characteristics and size of the plant.

Mobile CIP units, such as those shown in the image, provide greater flexibility and can be moved between different production areas. They are particularly useful when several items of equipment need to be cleaned using the same unit.

A properly designed CIP system helps to:

• Improve installation hygiene.
• Standardize cleaning cycles.
• Reduce production downtime.
• Optimize water and chemical consumption.
• Improve process repeatability.
• Increase operator safety.

Integrating the cleaning system during the design phase is essential to ensure that every tank and circuit can be cleaned correctly.

Pipework, valves and accessories for food processes

A process plant consists of much more than tanks alone. Pipework networks, valves and accessories are essential for transferring products between the different stages of production.

At Parcitank, we design and install stainless steel pipework systems, selecting the most suitable configuration for each application.

A well-designed circuit layout helps reduce unnecessary pipe runs, prevent product retention points and simplify installation cleaning. Valves and connections must also be selected according to the characteristics of the product and the operating conditions.

Our projects may include manual or automatic valves, manifolds, pumps, instrumentation, hygienic connections and other accessories required to control product flow throughout the plant.

Electrical installation and industrial automation

Automation plays an increasingly important role in the food industry. A properly designed control system allows equipment to be managed efficiently, process parameters to be monitored and production repeatability to be improved.

At Parcitank, we can integrate the electrical installation and plant automation, coordinating these services with the mechanical design, tank manufacturing and pipework installation.

Automation can be applied to the control of:

• Pumps and agitators.
• Process temperatures.
• Tank levels.
• Valve opening and closing.
• Product transfers.
• CIP cleaning systems.
• Alarms and safety conditions.
• Automatic production sequences.

Through this integrated approach, customers benefit from a more efficient, controlled facility that is fully adapted to their operating procedures.

Stainless steel stairs, platforms and walkways

Safe access to equipment is another essential factor in the design of an industrial plant.

Large-capacity tanks may require stairs, platforms or walkways to facilitate inspection, maintenance, product loading or access to components located at the top of the equipment.

At Parcitank, we design and manufacture stainless steel structures, stairs and walkways, integrating them into the overall plant layout.

These structures are designed with accessibility, ergonomics, operator safety and available space in mind. Integrating them from the beginning of the project also avoids later modifications and helps create a more organized and functional facility.

A single supplier for the entire project

The construction of a process plant requires the coordination of different disciplines, including engineering, manufacturing, mechanical assembly, pipework, electrical work, automation and commissioning.

When these tasks are carried out by different suppliers, compatibility issues, delays and coordination difficulties can arise.

At Parcitank, we offer an integrated service designed to simplify this process. We manage the different stages of the project:

1. Analysis of the customer’s requirements.
2. Design and layout of the installation.
3. Development of the project in 3D.
4. Manufacturing of stainless steel tanks and equipment.
5. Installation of pipework, valves and accessories.
6. Electrical and automation integration.
7. Manufacturing of structures, platforms and walkways.
8. On-site equipment assembly.
9. Testing, commissioning and validation of the installation.

This approach allows us to maintain a complete overview of the project and ensure that all components work together correctly.

Efficient, hygienic plants designed for future growth

A process plant must meet current production requirements, but it should also take future expansions or changes into account.

During the design phase, we therefore study factors such as modularity, equipment accessibility and the possibility of adding new tanks or production lines in the future.

The aim is to create durable, efficient installations that can evolve alongside the customer’s business.

By combining customized design, stainless steel manufacturing, automation and specialized installation, we can develop solutions for a wide range of food industry applications.

Experience and commitment in every installation

At Parcitank, we work to provide solutions adapted to each project, taking care of both the major equipment and the smaller details that determine the day-to-day performance of an installation.

From storage and fermentation tanks to CIP systems, valves, pipework, automation, platforms and electrical installations, every component must be integrated into a complete solution.

We design, manufacture and install complete process plants for the food industry, supporting our customers throughout every stage of the project and providing a single point of contact for the development of the entire facility.

Quality, innovation and commitment are at the heart of the way we work on every project.
