Food & Pharma
Technical advice and top-quality components for the food and pharmaceutical industries
Hans Buch helps you specify and source the right components – from hygienic valves to precision-controlled pneumatics – directly for your production application.
Our solutions and components meet the requirements of food and pharmaceutical production, and we have specialist expertise in CIP/SIP cleaning, approved food-contact materials, and FDA and GMP requirements.
For us, downtime is never an acceptable solution.
Where in the production process can Hans Buch help?
Dairies and beverage production
In pasteurisation, UHT treatment and CIP systems, precise temperature control and hygienic fluid handling are crucial.
Hans Buch can help with:
- Pneumatic cylinders and valve terminals for automated filling, sealing and packaging – designed with hygienic construction and IP69K protection
- Plate and tubular heat exchangers for pasteurisation and cooling – dimensioned for your flow rate, temperature and medium
- Hygienic valves and actuators for controlling product flow and cleaning cycles
Pharmaceutical production and biotechnology
GMP-approved equipment, traceability and cleanroom compatibility are not optional – they are the foundation.
Hans Buch can help with:
- Hygienic centrifugal pumps and membranes for the sterile transfer of APIs, buffer media and biological products
- Sanitary compressed-air valves for precise dosing and process control in cleanrooms and isolators
- Proportional valves and pressure regulators from Festo’s Clean Design series for applications requiring particle minimisation and chemical resistance
Meat and food processing industry
Aggressive cleaning agents, high-pressure cleaning and low temperatures place additional demands on materials and IP ratings.
Hans Buch can help with:
- Stainless steel heat exchangers for in-line cooling and tempering of products
- Pneumatic actuators in acid-resistant steel or FDA-approved polymer for portioning, pressing and packaging
- Valve blocks and valve terminals mounted directly on the machine – compact solutions that reduce pipe lengths and cleaning time
Personal care and cosmetics (Cosmetics/OTC)
Viscous media, foaming products and changing batch sizes require flexible and easy-to-clean systems.
Hans Buch helps with:
- Scraped-surface and tube-and-shell heat exchangers for high-viscosity products – jam, creams, sauces
- Electric and pneumatic actuators for precise valve control during batch changes and dosing
- Compressed air treatment units protected against condensation and oil – critical in applications with direct product contact
