Inside the world of ingredient processing
Ingredient production is where the food journey begins: transforming grains, oils, and extracts into the core of everything from bread to beverages.
But turning raw materials into consistent, high-quality output isn’t simple. Growing demand, tighter regulations, and the need to cut energy use all raise the stakes. Add in harsh conditions like dust, heat, and 24/7 operations, and it becomes clear: this work demands more than just good enough.
That’s where ABB comes in. With proven technologies and deep industry know-how, we help ingredient producers run cleaner, safer, and more productive operations, built for today’s pressure and tomorrow’s growth.
Challenges in ingredients
Behind every loaf of bread, every bag of sugar, and every bottle of oil are ingredient producers working under constant pressure to keep operations safe, efficient, and sustainable. ABB helps them do it—supporting everything from milling and refining to processing and packaging with reliable, proven solutions.
Managing explosive dust environments
Flour, starch, and sugar dust create hazardous zones. Ingredient processors must protect people and equipment while complying with ATEX/IECEx regulations, without slowing production.Limited visibility into asset health and performance
Unplanned downtime from undetected equipment wear can be costly. Real-time monitoring and predictive insights are often missing in legacy setups.Meeting sustainability targets under strict cost pressures
Ingredient processors face increasing pressure to reduce emissions, water use, and waste; all while operating in thin-margin, high-throughput environments.How we can help you
