Food and Beverage
Food Processing Equipment: Hygienic Design for Safe, Scalable Production
Gansons designs and manufactures food-grade processing equipment for manufacturers across the food, beverage, nutraceutical, and confectionery sectors. Our equipment meets hygienic design standards — including EHEDG guidelines and 3-A Sanitary Standards — ensuring surfaces are easy to clean, resistant to microbial ingress, and compliant with food safety regulations including FSMA, HACCP, and BRC Global Standards.
Whether you are scaling up a new nutraceutical formulation, granulating food powders for improved flowability, or coating confectionery and functional food products, Gansons has deep application experience across the production challenges that matter most in the food industry.
Food Manufacturing Equipment: Key Applications
Gansons food processing equipment serves a wide range of manufacturing applications, including:
- Powder granulation for food ingredients, flavours, and nutritional supplements
- Fluid bed drying and agglomeration for instant food products and beverage powders
- Dry blending and powder mixing for spice blends, premixes, and functional foods
- Tablet and pellet coating for nutraceuticals, vitamins, and dietary supplements
- Wet granulation of starch-based and sugar-based food powders
- Processing equipment for confectionery coating and sugar panning
- Hygienic bulk powder handling and vacuum transfer systems
Food Safety and Compliance
Our food processing equipment is engineered with cleanability, traceability, and contamination prevention as design priorities. All product-contact surfaces are manufactured in food-grade stainless steel (316L) with crevice-free welds, polished to Ra values suitable for CIP/SIP cleaning. We work with food manufacturers’ quality and engineering teams to deliver equipment that passes pre-qualification audits from major food safety certification bodies.

Chemical and Specialty Chemicals
Chemical Processing Equipment: Engineered for Demanding Industrial Applications
Gansons manufactures industrial process equipment for chemical manufacturers across the fine chemicals, specialty chemicals, agrochemical, fertiliser, and industrial chemicals sectors. Our equipment is built to handle challenging materials — including corrosive, moisture-sensitive, exothermic, and explosion-risk substances — with designs available in a range of materials of construction and protection classifications.
Where pharmaceutical equipment demands cGMP compliance and food equipment demands hygienic design, chemical processing equipment demands material durability, process containment, and operational safety. Gansons engineers all three dimensions into every chemical-sector project.
Chemical Industry Equipment: Key Applications
Our chemical processing equipment is used in the following applications:
- Granulation of fertilisers, agrochemicals, and industrial powders
- Dry blending and mixing of fine chemical powders and specialty compounds
- Fluid bed drying and granulation for catalyst and specialty chemical production
- High-containment processing for hazardous or sensitising chemical substances
- Powder handling and vacuum transfer systems for dusty or combustible materials
- Batch processing equipment for dyes, pigments, detergents, and adhesives
- ATEX-rated equipment for flammable solvent or explosive dust environments
- Custom-engineered reactors, dryers, and blenders for toll manufacturers
Materials of Construction and Safety Standards
Chemical process equipment from Gansons is available in carbon steel, 304 stainless steel, 316L stainless steel, Hastelloy, and other specialist alloys depending on the chemical compatibility requirements of your process. Equipment intended for hazardous area installations can be supplied to ATEX/IECEx standards. Our engineers work directly with your process safety teams during HAZOP review and detailed engineering to ensure every equipment specification is fit for purpose.
Personal Care, Cosmetics and Allied Industries
Personal Care Manufacturing Equipment: Precision Processing for Formulation Excellence
Gansons manufactures processing equipment for personal care and cosmetics manufacturers producing skincare, haircare, colour cosmetics, oral care, and hygiene products. Our equipment is designed to handle the wide range of viscosities, emulsion types, and sensitive active ingredients that characterise personal care formulations — while meeting the cleanliness and batch-to-batch consistency standards that consumers and retailers demand.
With increasing regulatory scrutiny on cosmetics and personal care products in the EU (under the EU Cosmetics Regulation), the UK, and the US (under the MoCRA modernisation framework), manufacturers need equipment that supports robust quality management, complete batch traceability, and compliance-ready process documentation. Gansons equipment is engineered to support all of these.
