PIOVAN FOOD&POWDERS AT INTERPACK 2026

From May 7–13, 2026, Piovan Food&Powders will be exhibiting at Interpack in Düsseldorf, Hall 3, Stand B55, showcasing its engineering-first approach: long-term performance is determined well before installation, when process requirements are translated into layouts, diagrams, and control logic.

This approach makes the difference between simply installing equipment and engineering a process that performs over time. Key benefits include:

Sicurezza – Compliance with CE, ATEX, NFPA, and UL standards is integrated at the design stage, not retrofitted later

Ambiente – Energy efficiency and water usage are optimized prior to startup

Productivity – Throughput per FTE is increased by eliminating redundant manual operations through automation

Cost – Product loss and ingredient variability are reduced by design

Quality – Consistent, repeatable quality is built into the plant, with equipment compliant with MOCA and GMP standards.

Piovan Food&Powders designs, manufactures, and installs complete automation systems for handling food powders, liquids, and creams. A fully integrated approach is adopted, covering every phase of the process, from preliminary analysis and functional definition to electrical engineering and PLC/SCADA control system development, through to raw material reception, storage, conveying, dosing, sieving, mixing, dehumidification, thermal treatment, installation, and system commissioning.

This approach is suitable for both new plant installations and revamping projects, delivering turnkey solutions tailored to specific materials, production targets, and plant constraints.

Powders: process stability starts upstream
On the powder side, Interpack 2026 will highlight technologies developed to stabilize processes, protect product quality, and improve raw material use. Air-based flour cooling is designed to reach target flour temperature without CO2, supporting safe operation and more consistent dough performance year-round. Patented electrostatic coating technologies bring maximum adhesion and uniform coverage to sweet and savory products, with GraviStay for coarse powders and SprayStay for fine powders helping reduce overspray, lower cleaning time, and enhance product appearance. Sieving solutions, including OptiSieve, help remove contaminants, control particle size, and break up small clumps while maintaining high efficiency in conveying lines. For hygroscopic ingredients such as sugar, dedicated systems manage ambient air drying, conveying, shredding, storage, and dosing.

Liquids and creams: induction-heated conveying
For liquids and creams, the spotlight turns to TeslaTube, an electromagnetic induction heating technology for conveying viscous food fluids. The system delivers up to 90% energy savings, ultra-precise temperature stability (±0.1°C), virtually zero thermal inertia for rapid startup, and a water-free architecture that eliminates energy-intensive components such as pumps and boilers. TeslaTube is also engineered for maximum deployment flexibility. Its modular, plug-and-play architecture can be applied across the entire liquid-handling line—from tanks to valves and pumps— providing tight thermal control exactly where viscosity management is most critical. Quick-connect fittings simplify installation and maintenance, while the compact design enables easier integration into both new and existing plant layouts.

Integrated liquid handling system in operation
At Interpack, the engineering-first approach will be showcased through a live liquid-handling system centered on TeslaTube and the Pigging System. The combination integrates precise thermal management with fully automated bidirectional line emptying, improved cleaning efficiency, cross-contamination prevention, and optimized product recovery within a single architecture. For manufacturers handling creams, chocolate, fillings, or flavor compounds, this results in reduced waste, cleaner changeovers, and greater control across the entire production line.

Visitors to Hall 3, Stand B55 will be able to explore how engineering decisions made upstream can reshape downstream performance across powders, liquids, and creams. The focus is not on standalone equipment. It is on process architecture designed to deliver safer operation, tighter control, lower waste, and repeatable quality from day one.

Come visit us at Stand B55, Hall 3.
