Food production

Cleaner exhaust. Safer production. Smarter energy use.

From roasting and frying to cold rooms, conveyor belts and process water, BM Process helps food manufacturers control emissions, odours and hygiene risks with engineered emission-control and hygiene technologies.

BM Process | Food Production

Engineering, integration and application support for food manufacturers.

Emission control

Odours, VOCs, grease mist & smoke

Production hygiene

Air, surfaces, belts & packaging

Water hygiene

Drinking, process & wastewater

Where we create value

One production site. Several clean-air and hygiene challenges.

The page is designed around the problems food plants actually need to solve, then connects each problem to an application, a technology family and relevant practical examples.

Odour & VOC control

Neutralise organic emissions from roasting, frying, baking, smoking and drying before they reach the stack or neighbours.

Grease, smoke & aerosols

Reduce grease mist, oil aerosols, smoke and deposits in ducts while lowering maintenance and fire load.

Food hygiene

Support hygienic production with UV-C treatment for air, conveyor belts, surfaces, packaging, storage and high-care areas.

Water safety

Disinfect drinking and process water and hygienise selected wastewater streams without relying only on thermal or chemical treatment.

Industries & applications

Solutions across the food production chain

THERMAL PROCESS

Coffee & industrial roasting

Coffee, cocoa, nuts, malt, spices, tea and other roasted products with hot, odorous, VOC-laden exhaust.

THERMAL PROCESS

Industrial baking

Bread, rolls, pastry, pizza and high- throughput baking lines producing steam, aromas and organic emissions.

HIGH GREASE LOAD

Frying & cooking lines

Meat, poultry, fish, bacon, vegan alternatives and convenience foods with grease mist, smoke and strong odours.

SMOKE CONTROL

Smokehouses

Meat, fish, ham, sausage, bacon and smoked alternatives with tar, soot, grease, phenols and odour.

DRYING PROCESS

Food drying

Herbs, vegetables, mushrooms, meat and fish snacks with warm, humid exhaust, VOCs and strong organic aromas.

OIL PROCESSING

Oil mills & oilseed processing

Rapeseed, soybean and sunflower processing with oil mist, dust, VOCs and odour from pressing and drying.

HIGH-CARE HYGIENE

Meat, poultry & ready meals

Open handling, slicing, filling and packaging where airborne germs and contaminated surfaces can affect product safety.

HIGH-CARE HYGIENE

Dairy, cheese & delicatessen

Filling, cutting, ripening and storage areas where mould, yeast and cross-contamination must be controlled.

FRESH PRODUCTION

Fruit, salads & fresh foods

Open product handling and washing applications that benefit from controlled air, surfaces and process water.

SHELF LIFE

Cold rooms & ripening rooms

Meat, cheese, produce and finished goods where low germ and mould loads support quality and shelf life.

HYGIENE BARRIER

Packaging & high-care entry

Cartons, crates, films and pallets entering hygiene-critical production areas through controlled germ barriers.

WATER HYGIENE

Drinking, process & wastewater

Inline, tank and recirculating water applications for production, washing, cooling, cleaning and hygienisation.

Technology portfolio

Match the technology to the emission or hygiene risk

BM Process can position the page as an engineered solution portfolio rather than a catalogue of standalone devices.

Emission-control technology

UV-ozone treatment for greasy exhaust

Compact oxidation-based exhaust-air treatment for greasy, organically contaminated and odorous food-production exhaust.

Best fit: frying, cooking, roasting and other high-grease processes.

Emission-control technology

Industrial UV-ozone exhaust treatment

ndustrial oxidation treatment for VOCs, total carbon, odours and organic contaminants in process exhaust.

Best fit: drying, oil mills, feed/food processes and mixed industrial exhaust.

Multi-stage treatment

Smoke, aerosol & polishing stages

Smoke scrubbing, droplet/particle separation and activated-carbon polishing for difficult exhaust profiles.

Best fit: smokehouses, high residual odour and sensitive locations.

Production hygiene

UV-C air disinfection

Stand-alone, HVAC and evaporator-integrated systems to reduce airborne microorganisms in production and storage areas.

Best fit: high-care production, cold rooms, ripening and packaging.

Production hygiene

UV-C surfaces & belts

Targeted UV-C systems for conveyors, production surfaces and hygiene-critical transfer points.

Best fit: livestock/animal-processing environments and selected pre-cleaning duties.

Production hygiene

Packaging germ barriers

UV-C and optional ozone treatment for packaged goods entering hygiene-sensitive zones.

Best fit: clean-room transitions, high-care entry and goods transfer.

Water hygiene

UV-C water disinfection

Certified and industrial UV-C systems for drinking water, process water, tanks and recirculating applications.

Best fit: washing, mixing, cooling, brewing, rinsing and CIP-support loops.

Integrated solution

Heat recovery integration

Clean process exhaust can be engineered together with heat recovery where hot air streams offer useful energy potential.

Best fit: roasting, baking, frying and drying.

Independent evidence

UV-C

Food-hygiene positioning can be supported with an independent Fraunhofer study from a Swiss meat-processing facility.

Make the page credible, not catalogue-heavy.

BM Process can combine practical examples, third-party evidence and process-specific engineering to show why a technology fits a particular food-production problem.

BM Process approach

From emission source to integrated solution

The page should reinforce that BM Process adds process understanding, engineering and implementation around the technology.

Understand the process

Airflow, temperature, humidity, pollutant profile, hygiene risk, operating hours and site constraints.

Select the treatment train

Prefiltration, UV-C/ozone, scrubber, activated carbon, air or water disinfection as needed.

Engineer the integration

Ducting, controls, safety, maintenance access, retrofit constraints and possible heat recovery.

Verify performance

Support for commissioning, measurements, documentation and long-term operational performance.
