Skids: essential modular solutions for the industry

Are you an OEM, food producer, petrochemical company, or part of the offshore industry looking for a reliable partner to manufacture skids that meet the highest standards? At RVS Non Ferro, we offer custom-made solutions tailored to your specific requirements.

Skids are compact, modular units designed by RVS Non Ferro for industrial processes. Whether it involves pumps, heat exchangers, valves, or piping, we assemble them on a common frame. This frame, or "skid," is designed for easy transport and installation at various locations within a production facility. At RVS Non Ferro, skids are prefabricated and tested in a controlled environment before being transported to their final destination, ensuring more efficient installation and minimal downtime on-site.

RVS Non Ferro - Skids
 

Different types of skids

At RVS Non Ferro, we manufacture skids primarily from non-ferrous metals such as stainless steel, customized to meet your specific needs:

  • Custom skids: Designed and built to meet the unique requirements of your project. They offer maximum flexibility and optimization for specific applications.
  • Modular skids: Designed for scalability and flexibility, consisting of standard modules that can be easily added, removed, or adjusted.
  • Mobile skids: Equipped with wheels or other mobility solutions, ideal for temporary or emergency setups.
  • Compact skids: Space-saving units suitable for installations with limited space.
  • Prefab skids: Fully assembled and tested in a controlled environment to minimize installation time and the risk of errors.

Applications Skids

CIP installations

A CIP (Cleaning in Place) system is used for automatically cleaning the interior of production lines without the need for disassembly. CIP systems are widely used in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and dairy industries to ensure hygienic equipment that meets food safety and product quality standards. The process typically includes several steps, such as pre-rinsing with water, applying an alkaline cleaning solution, rinsing, an acid wash to remove mineral deposits, and a final water rinse. The system ensures that all surfaces in contact with the product are effectively cleaned and disinfected, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and microbial contamination.

Mixing installations

A mixing installation is used to combine and homogenize various ingredients into a consistent final product. It reduces manual labor, increases capacity, and ensures quality and safety in production processes across various industries, including food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paint and coatings, and construction materials.

Heat exchanger

A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat from one medium to another without direct contact between them. In industrial processes, heat exchangers play a crucial role in efficiently managing thermal energy, contributing to energy savings and process optimization. They can be used for various applications, such as heating, cooking, cooling products, and heat recovery systems.

Custom skids

Designing and manufacturing custom skids at RVS Non Ferro begins with an in-depth analysis of the customer's specific requirements, including operational processes, material selection, and environmental conditions. After this analysis, a concept design is created using advanced CAD software. Once approved, the skid is fabricated in a controlled environment, followed by extensive testing to ensure functionality and safety.

Before installation, the site must be prepared, including foundation inspection and utility connections. Skids are safely transported and positioned using lifting equipment. After placement, all connections are made, and the system is commissioned by trained technicians.

Throughout the manufacturing process, quality controls are conducted to ensure compliance with specifications and standards. Functional tests after assembly confirm that the system meets customer requirements. Certifications such as ATEX or ASME may be required. Detailed documentation on design, fabrication, and testing is essential for future reference and maintenance.

By following a rigorous manufacturing and installation process while ensuring certification and testing, you can trust that the skids will operate reliably, safely, and efficiently.

Performance

Skids in the food industry

Our skids meet the strict hygiene and safety standards of the food industry through their stainless steel construction and sanitary components. The modular design allows for quick adjustments to changing production requirements, such as adding new products or modifying existing processes. Skids are easy to clean and maintain, which is essential for upholding high hygiene standards.

Skids in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry

Strict regulations and standards require skids to meet the highest quality and safety requirements. This is achieved through advanced automation and control mechanisms that ensure precise and consistent performance. Skids are designed for easy disinfection and sterilization, which is crucial for preventing cross-contamination and maintaining product integrity.
