Sugar and starch

Sugars and starches are integral to the manufacture of countless food items, including cookies, chocolate bars, confectionery, sauces, soft drinks, ice cream, fruit syrups, jellies, baked goods, yogurt, and baby food. Our high-performance SIGMA plate heat exchangers, SIGMATHERM plate pasteurizers, and SIGMASTAR and SIGMAVAP plate evaporators continue to play a vital role in this important aspect of the food industry.
