3a certified product recovery system for food and pharmaceuticals

During the manufacturing of high-quality food, beverages, and pharmaceutical products, it is essential to recover valuable products from pipelines to reduce waste and maintain product quality. This recovery must be gentle to protect sensitive and foaming products.
