Heating, cooling, drying, distilling and fermenting are just a few of the steps which are necessary in industrial food processing. These processes are generally executed using water, steam or thermal oil. For several decades now, ARI-Armaturen has been a strong partner for this kind of application.

Power plants generate electricity and in some cases also thermal energy. Several very different types of power plant exist. The most common – and best-known – are coal-fired power plants. Since exclusively fossil fuels are used here, there is an increasing trend towards power generation technologies based on renewable energy sources such as the sun, water and wind.

Steel production is a basic industry that plays a crucial role in many national and international value chains.

Autoclave hardening is an important step in the production of sand-lime bricks and aerated concrete. This hydrothermal hardening process takes place in the autoclaves under steam pressure in a saturated steam atmosphere at temperatures up to +200°C.

Despite the age of electronic data processing, paper production remains an important industrial process.

Tyre manufacturing plants use steam in various pressure and temperature ranges, e.g. to heat the tyre presses, apply pressure to the crown and – last but not least – vulcanise the rubber.
