Frings offers the vinegar industry a wide range of products.
Whether it's equipping a small, private vinegar plant, supplying laboratory equipment to a large food company for quality assurance, the construction of a large scale vinegar plant 'on a greenfield site', or an investor with the capacity of several million litres per year - we will be pleased to be your partners!
In addition to the key fermentation systems (ACETATOR technology), we also offer complete process sections for the storage and dosage of raw materials, for the exhaust air preparation, the preparation of finished products and for bulk goods as well as for wide ranging supply systems.
Acetators/ Fermenters
The centrepiece of every vinegar production system is the fermenter. The relevance of our fermenter technology is plain to see since the brand name 'ACETATOR' is now a synonym for 'vinegar fermenter' the world over.
Clearflow Membrane Filter
FRINGS succeeded in introducing Micro-Crossflow-Filtration (MCF), specially oriented to the requirements of vinegar production, in 1978. For the first time, it permitted a continuous 24 hour operation and the avoidance of consumables such as bentonite and diatomite, and therefore clearly improved levels of safety and yield.
Automation
To ensure the success of effective vinegar fermentation - in addition to optimum location factors and modern ventilation and de-foaming technology - a highly accurate automation unit is also indispensible.
Exhaust Air Treatment
Due to the intense ventilation during vinegar fermentation, large quantities of exhaust air that is enriched with alcohol and acetic acid result.
To increase the yield, FRINGS can offer you two established systems. The exhaust air condenser and the exhaust air scrubber.
Dosing Systems
Conventional fermentation processes for the production of alcohol vinegars require a sophisticated, external production of the process mash. This is completed in a so-called mash tank. It consists of process water, alcohol / denaturant and nutrient solution which have to be calculated and mixed together very precisely.
Acetator Equipment
In addition to complete new systems, it goes without saying that all the ACETATOR components to improve your performance and to maintain your production are also available individually. In addition, we will naturally also supply you with the suitable equipment in the area of vinegar production, such as acid-resistant pumps and fittings.
Defoamer
It starts automatically and only when required, separates the foam produced by centrifugal forces into a gas and a liquid stream (foam concentrate) and conveys the separated liquid foam concentrate out of the ACETATOR with an inlet pressure of up to 0.5 bar.
Laboratory Equipment
Today, despite the very high levels of automation, successful and economical vinegar production demands regular support from analytically secured laboratory data.
Acetozym Nutrients
For over 100 years, we have been producing nutrients for the production of a wide range of different varieties of vinegar in the ACETATOR or GENERATOR.
