/PRNewswire/ —

SPX FLOW, a global leader in innovative solutions, is proud to announce today’s win at the


SEAL Awards for Business Sustainability 2024.


The company received the ‘Sustainable Product Award’ for its groundbreaking work


APV Aseptic Rapid Recovery System (ARRS),


an innovation that is revolutionizing sustainability in the dairy and food and beverage industries, while protecting consumer health.

Products such as fruit filling, pet food and liquid soap are viscous in texture and require the ARRS, a pigging technology, for processing.

“We are honored to receive the Sustainable Product Award, which reflects our continued commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship,” the company said

Pranav Shah

, SPX FLOW Global Market Director, Dairy and Plant-Based Beverages. “This award motivates us to continue innovating and creating products that have a positive impact on our planet.”

The unique aseptic pigging technology recovers product waste, reduces water consumption and shortens CIP (cleaning-in-place) time, especially for ambient temperature products. It reduces product loss from 4% to 0.5% by capturing residual dairy yield within the process piping with its projectile, an 87% improvement in product savings.

Storing dairy products at room temperature while maintaining their long shelf life requires special processing during and before packaging, leaving no room for post-contamination that could be harmful to consumers.

“SPX FLOW’s innovative Aseptic Rapid Recovery System exemplifies tangible sustainable impact by significantly reducing product waste, water consumption and cleaning time in the production of sensitive dairy and personal care products. The ability to use 60-70% less water during cleaning cycles compared to traditional methods were a key factor in awarding SPX FLOW a 2024 SEAL Business Sustainability Award,” the commentary said

Matt Harney

Founder of SEAL Awards.

Why this is important:

  • The ARRS is designed to be a cleaner, safer and more productive solution than anything currently on the market.

  • It uses a patented, form-fitting projectile of rubber that is forced through processing lines to scrape clean and recover the residual product.

  • This innovation ensures constructive and healthy competition, allowing the best aseptic process solutions to be developed and commercialized for all customers.

  • SPX FLOW is preparing to release its latest sustainability report in the coming months.
