January 19, 2024

With a continued focus on research, customisation and flexibility, CEPI’s offerings at ProSweets encompasses its expertise in delivering turnkey systems

CEPI designs, manufactures and commissions bulk-handling systems for the storage, conveying and metering of raw materials, as well as fully integrated automation and technologies to complete all production processes. A family-run company with an international outlook, CEPI is based in Italy and operates globally, with offices in Malaysia to coordinate operations in the Asian market and a network of local partners spanning the five continents. Since 1985, we have worked with the most important companies from all sectors of food manufacturing.

CEPI’s vision has centered on research, customsiation and flexibility since our beginnings. Our mission goes beyond assembling food machinery: we build turn-key installations that manage the production line from storage to dosing, all the while developing specialised solutions to match diverse and ever-changing needs across the planet. CEPI brings to the table a global knowledge of materials, environments, and markets as well as the continued research that goes into developing around 300 unique systems every year.

Powders, granular products, liquids, fats. Macro, micro, medium volumes. Fermentation, cooling, fluidisation, milling, blending, rework. Our motto is: if your process needs it, we can do it. If we can’t do it yet, we will develop it, just for you. Our technologies evolve to match each individual demand from the manufacturer’s side, leading to unparalleled technological range. At Hall 10.1, Booth J011 attendees are invited to explore their technologies.

CEPI’s offer includes multiple indoor and outdoor storing options in stainless steel or antistatic fabric, minisilos and dumping stations for medium production volumes and broad spectrum stations for the storing and accurate dosing of micro ingredients. Materials are moved by clean and efficient conveyance systems designed to minimise energetic impact. Dosing can be continuous or batch, positive, by loss of weight, by volume or by weight, in modular hoppers for powders and tanks for liquids.

The 3 in 1 station weighs the ingredient, separates air from product during pneumatic transport and comes with a vertical blender for the production of premix. Other applications include flour cooling, fermentation, sugar mills, invert sugar technology, salt solution systems, fat and liquid tanks, fat cold metering, bread and biscuit rework systems including the liquid rework of sandwich biscuits, and CIP washing system for a complete hygienisation of tanks and pipes.

CEPI provides a turn-key system that includes fully integrated automation, with production management through touch panels and software for full traceability and warehouse management. Hardware and software design is done completely in-house. With vast food technology expertise, all our technologies are developed factoring the preservation of flavour and ingredient properties, with automation ensuring repeatability and precision of the recipe. Each system is designed through a comprehensive study of the manufacturer’s processes that includes all operations from warehouse to marketing, and customized to match analysis of raw materials, site evaluation, environment and consumptions.

We believe in build lasting relationships for lasting projects, through an ongoing conversation which concerns all its aspects: from process and product analysis with hygiene and safety management and food technology support, to engineering and control, manufacture, installation and service. All these stages are managed internally and with continuity through all operations and all-encompassing support, we can give each project the care it deserves.
