You’ll find concentrated expertise at BrauBeviale (November 26-28) in Nuremberg at the Ziemann Holvrieka booth.  The engineering specialists will provide information at their booth about sustainable process technology, tanks, and intelligent components for brewhouse and cold block.

At BrauBeviale in Nuremberg, the focus is on beer, wine, spirits and juices.  As a turnkey provider for breweries and beverage production, Ziemann Holvrieka will demonstrate its expertise in the planning and construction of flexible, modern systems in Hall 9, Booth 350. The integration of technically advanced components and supply systems into existing processes is also part of the engineering company’s services. Visitors looking for brewhouse or cold block technologies will find information at the booth about lauter tuns, wort kettles with internal and external heaters, whirlpools, mash filters, fermentation and storage tanks, CIP systems, and piping.

Large milling surface in a compact space

One focal point this year is the new generation of the T-Rex mill, which processes various raw materials. T-Rex’s beating heart is the grinding mechanism. Instead of cylindrical rollers, it features interlocking double-conical discs that create a zigzag-shaped gap.  This results in a large processing surface within a small space, resulting in a compact and lightweight mill design.  Other advantages include high specific performance, low energy consumption, and simplified maintenance and cleaning.

Low resource and energy consumption

At the international event, Ziemann Holvrieka will also showcase its expertise as a provider of sustainable technologies. To adapt the processes to users’ individual needs, the engineering partner designs systems to be as flexible as possible, while ensuring low resource and energy consumption.  Visitors can learn about specific projects that already meet this standard at the company’s booth – for example, experts will demonstrate how spent grains can be used as a renewable energy source.  The company will also showcase BrewSonic, an optimized CIP cleaning system that uses ultrasonic waves, and heat pumps for heating and cooling. This type of temperature management in breweries reduces energy costs and lowers CO₂ emissions.  The intelligent networking of cooling and heating streams plays a key role in the efficiency of sustainable processes, both ecologically and economically.

How can production systems in the food industry be made more efficient? Automation is often the only solution. Ziemann Holvrieka is now contributing its engineering know-how to the virtASI project. Its goal is to make digitalization of process engineering faster and simpler. The Bavarian Research Foundation is providing support with a grant of some 703,000 Euros.

Plant engineers and plant operators in the food industry are facing steadily rising prices for raw materials and energy. They also have to deal with increasing complexity and shortages of skilled labor.Moreover, variable market demands are creating problems for producers by requiring greater product variety and reducing lifecycles. The remedy for these problems is automation, because it ensures flexibility and efficiency. Automation also accelerates the development and commissioning of production facilities.

In order to promote faster and simpler digitalization, Ziemann Holvrieka is participating in a project led by the Chair of Brewing and Beverage Technology at the Technical University of Munich. The project, known by its German abbreviation virtASI (virtual facility planning, simulation and commissioning), is being supported by a grant of approximately 703,000 Euros from the Bavarian Research Foundation. “The purpose is to facilitate automated, model-assisted, virtual engineering in the food industry 4.0 based on modular planning data,” says Tobias Becher, Head of Technology, Research and Development at Ziemann Holvrieka. “Our solution, ‘Module Type Packages’ (MTP), is making a substantial contribution to establishing a standard for automation.” The other participants in the project are the simulation service provider SimPlan from Munich and the technology company Gimbio from Freising.

Ziemann Holvrieka, a global leader in providing innovative solutions for the beverage and liquid food industries, is delighted to announce the relocation of its Bangkok office to a larger, more strategically located space within the city. This move comes as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to better serve its clients in the AsiaPacific region.

Having maintained a presence in Bangkok for almost two decades, Ziemann Holvrieka’s decision to relocate underscores its dedication to meeting the evolving needs of its customers while positioning itself for future growth opportunities. The new office, situated in a central and impressive building, reflects the company’s continued investment in enhancing its presence and accessibility to clients throughout the region.

Florian Schneider, Chief Commercial Officer of Ziemann Holvrieka, emphasized the significance of the new office, noting the company’s longstanding presence in Bangkok and its extensive experience serving clients across the region. Schneider highlighted the company’s track record of executing numerous turnkey projects, integrating everything from processing to filling and packaging, to deliver comprehensive solutions to its customers. He welcomed esteemed customers and regional partners to the new office, emphasizing the importance of collaborative relationships in driving success in the AsiaPacific market.

Klaus Gehrig, CEO of Ziemann Holvrieka GmbH, expressed enthusiasm about the relocation, stating, “Our decision to move to a larger office in Bangkok reaffirms our commitment to providing exceptional service and tailored solutions to our valued clients in the AsiaPacific region. This strategic move enables us to better accommodate our expanding team and further strengthen our capabilities to meet the growing demands of the market.”

In addition to sales, the new Bangkok office will offer expanded functions, including customer service and support, project management, and engineering services, further enhancing Ziemann Holvrieka’s ability to deliver value-added solutions to its clients.

The relocation also presents an opportunity to introduce Ziemann Holvrieka’s sister companies, Briggs of Burton, DME, and Künzel, to the region. “These companies bring specialized expertise in distilling, craft brewery equipment, and raw material handling, respectively, augmenting Ziemann Holvrieka’s comprehensive offerings in the AsiaPacific market,” states Klaus Gehrig, who is also President of the CLPT Group.

Gehrig concluded by reaffirming the company’s commitment to being a reliable partner, stating, “We are dedicated to being a dependable and trusted partner for our clients, providing innovative solutions and exceptional service every step of the way.”

The relocation of the Bangkok office marks an exciting milestone in Ziemann Holvrieka’s journey, further solidifying its position as a global leader in the beverage and liquid food industry.

Ziemann Holvrieka gains strength with raw material handling experts

Ziemann Holvrieka has expanded its capabilities for providing complete brewery solutions with the acquisition of Künzel Maschinenbau in Mainleus, Germany.
