For nearly 40 years, Ivanhoe Industries has been recognized by some of the largest food companies in the world as a reliable go-to source for foam control agents. Thus, Ivanhoe (booth S0109) plans to display a variety of products including options for organic and non-GMO food processing at the IFT18 Expo, set to take place July 16-18 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Ivanhoe’s foam control products utilize a wide range of active materials. From silicones and hydrophobic silica to waxes and surfactants, they are chosen in combination to optimize performance or to comply with regulatory and customer product claim requirements.
Ivanhoe’s foam control products are used in a variety of manufacturing processes, including cheese and whey manufacturing, fermentations, beverages, corn and soybean processing, sugar cane and beet processing, and fruit and vegetable washing. Business Manager Paul Peebles says Ivanhoe’s team takes the time to understand customer needs beyond just eliminating foam in their process.
“Our foam control agents are a specialty product line for us. We take a lot of pride in our ability to service customers and we have an outstanding track record in this area,” states Peebles. “We make an effort to seamlessly integrate ourselves into our customers’ supply chain and operations. Not every supplier does that or cares, but we do and our customers appreciate us going above and beyond.”
Peebles said providing solutions for nearly any type of food processing situation is another area where Ivanhoe excels.
“Foaming conditions in food manufacturing plants change depending on the product mix or seasonal variations in crop sources. Our customers’ goals or cost saving initiatives can change on an annual basis. We have encountered many situations over the years that require a change in our service levels. Whichever case it is, our extensive lab capabilities and top notch service team have the answers.”
Ivanhoe will have experts available at IFT18 to answer any questions. For more information about Ivanhoe’s foam control agents, plan to stop by booth S0109 at IFT18 or visit the website at www.ivanhoeind.com.
