Hygienic Process Equipment for Food, Beverage, Nutraceutical and Confectionery Manufacturers

Gansons designs and manufactures food-grade processing equipment for food, beverage, nutraceutical and confectionery manufacturers. With over 75 years of process engineering experience and an active installation base that includes Britannia Industries – one of India’s largest food manufacturers. Gansons brings pharmaceutical-grade engineering discipline to food processing applications.

Food Processing Equipment. Hygienic Design for Food, Nutraceutical and Confectionery Manufacturers

Our food processing equipment is designed to hygienic standards with food-grade stainless steel (316L) product-contact surfaces, crevice-free welds, and CIP/SIP-compatible designs that meet HACCP, FSMA and BRC Global Standards requirements. Many of our food industry customers benefit from the same rigorous process knowledge and application engineering that pharmaceutical companies rely on — applied to the specific challenges of food safety, allergen management, and production efficiency.

Powder Granulation for Food and Nutraceutical Manufacturers

Granulation is widely used in food manufacturing to improve the flowability, density and dispersibility of food powders — for instant beverages, nutritional supplements, functional food ingredients, seasoning blends and dietary supplements. Gansons high shear granulators and fluid bed systems are used by nutraceutical and food manufacturers to produce uniform, free-flowing granules with consistent bulk density and dissolution profiles.

Mixing and Blending for Food Manufacturers

Gansons food-grade mixing equipment is used by manufacturers across bakery, snack food, dairy, beverage, and functional food sectors. The Planetary Mixer is used by manufacturers including Britannia Industries for biscuit, cake and snack divisions — handling viscous doughs and batters across a range of capacities from 50L to 200L. The Nauta® conical screw mixer provides gentle, uniform blending for dry powders, granules and fragile food ingredients where shear sensitivity is a concern.

Coating for Nutraceutical and Confectionery Applications

The GansCoater® is used by nutraceutical and dietary supplement manufacturers to apply film coatings and functional coatings to tablets, capsules and granules — for taste masking, moisture protection, modified release, and brand differentiation. In confectionery applications, coating systems provide uniform sugar or chocolate panning of sweets, nuts and centres. The GansCoater® is validated for both aqueous and solvent-based coating systems and is available in R&D scale through to full production.

Particle Sizing for Food and Ingredient Manufacturers

Gansons particle sizing equipment is used in food and ingredient manufacturing for controlled size reduction, de-agglomeration and classification of powders, spices, starches, sugars, and dried food ingredients. The Kwik-Sift® centrifugal sifter and Gansons Sifter provide high-throughput powder sifting for food safety and quality assurance, removing lumps and oversize particles from production lines.

Powder Transfer for Hygienic Food Production

Hygienic bulk powder handling is a critical food safety requirement – cross contamination, allergen transfer, and operator exposure to food dusts must all be controlled. Gansons vacuum transfer systems provide fully enclosed, hygienic powder movement for food production lines, eliminating open powder handling and dust generation.
