A global reputation for providing high quality hygienic process systems has won Tetra Pak CPS its latest order due to collaboration with one of the UK’s leading engineering contractors.

Ai Process Systems (AiPS) chose Tetra Pak CPS to design, build and supply 36 various sized processing vessels for one of AiPS’s customers Deb Ltd.

Deb Ltd is renowned for its comprehensive range of highly professional skincare and cleaning products. Its recent expansion into alcohol sprays for the food and healthcare industry has led to the company’s need for a new factory and Tetra Pak CPS’ expertise.

The nature of the products meant a high level of sterile fabrication was required and it is here where the depth of experience in hygienic liquid process systems from Tetra Pak CPS proved decisive in winning the contract.

As an international leader in providing quality capital equipment, Tetra Pak CPS was able to design and manufacture a selection of vessels ranging from 40,000 litre bulk storage vessels to CIP solution tanks and 500 litre premix vessels within the required timescale.

The Tetra Pak CPS engineers and support team worked closely with project managers at AiPS, who were particularly impressed with the level of professionalism, quality of product and efficiency from Tetra Pak CPS.

Tetra Pak CPS Business Development Manager, Paul Griffin commented: “Ai Process is completely independent of any equipment manufacturer and supplier, allowing it to choose the best company for the specific job in hand. It has been a pleasure to work with them and deliver the hygienic expertise that was needed to meet Deb Ltd’s requirements.

“We worked well with Ai Process – both companies have the same philosophy and that is to deliver consistently high quality products and service. We are both dedicated to providing the most cost efficient solutions for our customers and Tetra Pak CPS would be delighted to work with Ai Process again.”

With over 60 years of experience in the design and manufacture of hygienic stainless steel process and storage vessels, Tetra Pak CPS is able to offer capacities of up to 100,000 litres with dimensions to suit any space restrictions and a wide range of surface finishes to suit any application.

For pressure/vacuum applications, vessels can be built to the British Standard Code of Practice (PD5500), which ensures they comply with the latest European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED).

Recognising the need to tailor its vessels for each application and industry Tetra Pak CPS can also provide an extensive range of vessel and tank features including agitation, heating and cooling systems and sterile air top blanket systems.

Background information on Tetra Pak CPS Ltd

The business was started in 1885 by the Gate family under the name West Surrey Dairy.  Following a reorganisation in 1925, trading subsidiaries were established, one of which was Wincanton Transport & Engineering Company Ltd.  In 1929, the parent company changed its name to Cow & Gate, which was followed by various moves.  After the war the business amalgamated and later changed its name to Wincanton Engineering Ltd.

In 1959, a merger by Cow & Gate with United Dairies resulted in the establishment of Unigate, which owned the business until selling it in 1987.  In 1998, the business moved to its present purpose built three-acre complex at Coldharbour Business Park in Sherborne, Dorset.

Carlisle Companies Inc. acquired the business in 2001 and the name changed to Carlisle Process Systems Ltd, it was then sold to Tetra Pak in December 2006.

The registered name for the overall business has now changed to Tetra Pak CPS Ltd and the Dairy, Food & Beverage Division continues to trade from Sherborne employing the same dedicated sales and engineering team as previously.

The company is a global provider of hygienic liquid process systems and continues to invest heavily in manufacturing to meet on-going demand for equipment. Production at the UK factory has recently established lean techniques which, together with ongoing investment in machinery, technology and training, give it the capability of a quick turnaround of equipment by using proven designs, standardised modules and components all within compliance of its ISO 9001 – 2000 quality system.
