Bring more flavours to the world
People love trying new dressings and condiments, often paying more for products that prioritise health, without compromising on taste or quality. It may sound simple, but these new ingredients and recipes pose challenges that only food science and deep production know-how can solve.
With 70+ years of food production knowledge built into our equipment, we can help you. Whether you produce mayonnaise- or tomato-based products, or want to develop new, exciting ones, we’ll help you get to market with the speed, quality and consistency you demand. All while streamlining operations, saving resources and boosting your profitability.
It’s all in the sauce
Many dishes are defined by their dressing, and others change character completely just by replacing the sauce. So, take pride in bringing more flavour to the world, and embrace people’s appetite for even more variation.

Be flexible
To stay competitive in the fast-moving dressings and condiments category, you need to be up for change. Find out how we can help you meet current and future trends to satisfy the diverse tastes of your consumers.
Consumer trends drive need for flexibility
We asked our experts – Food Scientist Linda Carlstedt and Line Solution Manager Manuele Levati – to weigh in on how to overcome production challenges and stay competitive. In this article they will explain how to handle tricky ingredients efficiently, how to engineer foolproof recipes and how to be able to produce more varieties in a day.
“Our complete food production systems approach gives more than just perfect mixing,” says Linda Carlstedt. “It can help you fast-track development of new products and efficiently produce the longest list of SKUs in the industry.”
Be consistent
One thing is sure. When a consumer drizzles their favourite sauce on their dish, they expect it to look, smell, taste and feel exactly as it did last time. Consistency, however difficult to achieve, is key.
Perfecting mayonnaise-based products
To find out the nitty gritty details of mayonnaise production, we conducted a three-year research project with hundreds of trials. This has yielded critical knowledge on ingredient behaviour and mixing, which is now embedded in our high shear mixers and our powerful prediction tool.
The prediction tool, run by experts in Lund, Sweden, optimises recipes for exact droplet size and distribution, allowing rapid development, replication, and scaling of any emulsified product. This reduces production time, energy, and ingredient costs while maintaining consistent, high quality. Lab trials further eliminate guesswork from formulation, ensuring product consistency, even with new equipment.
Perfecting tomato-based products
Consistent quality in tomato products hinges on standardisation, texturisation, and heat treatment. While conventional systems struggle with high-viscosity products, causing quality inconsistencies and ingredient waste, our solutions use steady measurement and mixing for superior consistency.
Our high shear mixing texturises tomato fibres, boosting viscosity and process repeatability, ensuring consistent quality even with variable raw materials. Homogenization further refines texture by altering microstructure, improving thickness, colour, and overall quality. It increases yield, reduces separation, and creates a smoother, glossier product.
Be profitable
Ready to increase your profitability? You can, with our solutions that achieve the lowest production cost per kilogram and lowest total cost of ownership.
How about 46%12 lower cost per kilo?
Whether you produce mayonnaise-based or tomato-based products – or both – our range of mixers optimises utilisation of expensive ingredients like stabilisers, reduces production time and energy use. Read on to see how – scenario by scenario – our solutions save you time, energy and ingredients compared to benchmark solutions, while maintaining quality and flexibility. Let the results speak for themselves.
