Engineering for the dairy industry

The Expertise Centre for Process Engineers offers design, automation, installation and maintenance services for production lines for the dairy industry. We will carry out the entire project on a turnkey basis or get involved at any stage to save the situation if there are problems with the contractor. VIRAVIX connects dairy producers with the best experts.
 

Marketing helps to sell the first carton of milk. The customer will buy the second one if they like the taste. Modern technology and smart production ensure that the producer sells the rest of the products too.

Why do we need engineering services?

All dairy producers – large plants or small farmers – strive for consistent product quality. It is a guarantee of sales and protection against returns of rejects. We call this ‘tradition’.

Tradition is not only about unique proprietary recipes, but also about the consistently high quality of the dairy product. It is when a brand is known, praised and sought out in shops.

The dairy industry has strict requirements for product safety:

  • of bacobemia;
  • organoleptic characteristics;
  • physico-chemical composition.

Large dairy holdings have long known how to ensure their stable compliance. Smaller or start-up companies do not yet have such a base of experience, or they do not have the ability to pay high salaries to a full-time expert.

In doing so, they face the same challenges as large manufacturers:

Аchieve consistent quality
and reduce the influence of human error;
Increase sales volumes

to offset production costs;

Reduce energy
and water consumption;
Protect production
from accidents and prolonged downtime.

This is where Viravix Engineering comes in. Our process engineers have gained their experience from dairy giants and are familiar with their practices. And the economies of scale will cost you less than employing an in-house process engineer.

In a short time, we can help you establish and strengthen your own dairy traditions for consistent quality.

What do we offer?

Industrial engineering from Viravix includes several areas:

Analysing the Customer’s existing processes

We conduct production audits to identify bottlenecks, blind spots and major sources of energy loss. Our in-house developed QiVisor remote monitoring system helps us do this. Its sensors can be attached to almost any production equipment, and the software is as easy to set up as Wi-Fi. QiVisor has proved to be excellent at covid constraints, and we use it to this day to save time and costs for personal production inspections.

Improving existing processes or developing new ones

We know the standards and practices of leaders in the dairy industry and are familiar with the requirements of regulations and directives. Our experts will study the situation in your plant and propose solutions based on proven experience. We know where to reduce energy consumption and how to minimize process risk. Our experts take an engineering approach, looking at a dairy plant as a single system of interconnected elements.

Integration of new equipment, modernisation of existing production

When designing a project, we take into account the operating conditions at the customer’s premises in order to reduce the cost of equipment upgrades and building renovations. 3D modelling of the finished building and 3D scanning of the rooms helps us do this. We will deliver something that fits into an existing workshop, is integrated into the customer’s control system and does not hinder the operation of the production line.

 

 

Supply of equipment and components

We cooperate with the world’s leading manufacturers of food processing equipment. “Viravix Engineering will supply pasteurisers, CIP washers, separators and heat exchangers. When ordering through us, the manufacturer receives a component discount from 15% to 30% as an engineering company.

 

Technical advice and remote support

The customer receives a QiVisor remote monitoring system. Our expert can use it to obtain data on the operation of the equipment without a visit to the site. This saves about three times the inspection time and travel costs of 340 euros per month on average. With QiVisor, the customer is also able to monitor the production 24/7 from anywhere with internet access.

Technical advice and remote support

For emergency assistance we offer QiVisor. Our engineer will analyse the system data without travelling to the site, which saves approximately 3 times the inspection time and travel expenses of 340 euros per month on average. The Customer’s specialists will be able to monitor the processes at the brewery 24/7 from anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection. And if necessary, they will be able to consult our experts.
