EPC solutions for individual plant components or whole factories in the sugar and food industries.
BMA - a Partner you can rely on throughout all project phases.
Whether you need help with financing, factory planning, standard construction, mechanical or plant Engineering - with BMA, your large-scale project is in safe hands right from the start.
Whatever your setup, our project management ensures that everything runs smoothly, from planning to delivery and installation and to project handoff.
Our references below are simply examples of the many projects we have completed in the past 160 years. Good reasons to be proud, we think.
BMA extraction plants offer maximum extraction rates coupled with low investment and maintenance costs for both sugar beet and sugar cane.
Efficient energy use in the processing of renewable raw materials.
BMA evaporation plants are perfectly tailored to the overall process, thus ensuring energy efficiency in sugar factories and refineries.
Beet and cane sugar factories and sugar refineries worldwide rely on continuous crystallisation plants (VKT) and cooling crystallisers from BMA for perfect sugar crystallisation.
Centrifugals are the most dynamic type of machinery used in sugar production. At high rotational speeds, the sugar crystals are separated from the mother liquor. In the design of our centrifugals, our top priorities are excellent performance, as well as a long service life and outstanding reliability.
Beet and cane sugar factories and sugar refineries worldwide rely on BMA machinery and equipment for the drying and/or cooling of refined sugar, white sugar, and VHP and VLC sugars.
From the first idea to the planning and implementation, to maintenance, process optimization and modernization, we assume responsibility for the entire life cycle of equipment and are engaged with an expert level service portfolio.
Four hundred new factories and several thousand standalone solutions for the international sugar industry are evidence of our passion for innovation and our experience
Every question deserves an answer. Every process, the right perfomance.
Our project management teams support sugar producers and investors during all phases of plant installation.
At your request, we will handle the complete assembly at the destination. Please contact us for details.
Our BMA experts will also assist you in the first start-up of the plant and instruct your personnel how to operate the new process equipment.
BMA offers courses on all topics related to sugar production, machinery, equipment and process components. For newcomers and those with experience.
Our range of expertise extends across the entire portfolio of the BMA Group, including automation hardware and software solutions.
BMA Automation will handle your entire project, from the initial consultation to commissioning, and for the entire life cycle management of your plant automation system. Your benefits include: expertly trained staff, global availability of services, and the comprehensive technological experience and expertise of the whole BMA Group.
BMA is advanced engineering Made in Germany and proven process expertise from raw material delivery to the packaging of the final product. Our innovations provide security of investment and ensure progress in the sugar industry.
For many years, we have been testing new and innovative methods for customers in the BMA laboratory and pilot plant.
Demand for crystalline forms of sugar substitutes is growing. As an integrated solution provider, we assist you in developing and implementing your project – from the laboratory to the pilot plant and ultimately to planning and delivering complete industrial plants.
As the service competence center within the corporate group BMA Assistance serves with heart and soul. Our objective is clear: To get the most out of your investments whilst maintaining safety and efficiency, around the clock and across the entire life cycle of your factory.
Because of their size and complexity, some BMA machinery and equipment can only be shipped as assembly kits. In these cases, BMA offers full on-site assembly by qualified technical staff.
BMA Assistance offers service agreements with various scopes of services. Alternatively, we let our customers compile their own service package, precisely tailored to their budget and safety requirements.
We are continuously expanding our range to offer you even more innovative upgrade options.
