Ahrens und Bode was a German manufacturer of dairy machines.
history
In 1924 Heinrich Ahrens and Arno Bode founded the company Ahrens & Bode Dairy Machinery in Schöningen (district of Helmstedt). At first, machines and equipment were developed for the milk processing industry and later also for the beverage and chemical industries.
At the beginning of the 1990s, Ahrens & Bode cooperated with the French manufacturer ETA in the field of tank semi-trailers for food, mineral oil and chemical products. Over 70 years after it was founded, Ahrens & Bode GmbH & Co., Maschinen- und Apparatebau, had to file for bankruptcy in 1995 . The product name "abo" is continued today by abo-Magyar GmbH from Harbke , the former factory in Schöningen is operated by the company TPS Industriewaschmaschinen und Anlagenbau GmbH, among others.
Products
abo process devices made of stainless steel for all areas of process engineering in the food and luxury food industry, as well as the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Depending on the requirements, they were designed for cooling, stirring, melting, suspending, emulsifying, mixing and heating all liquid, pasty and meltable raw materials.
The abo-Sterighurt system enabled the gentle pretreatment of the yogurt milk before the culture was added and incubated in a single system and in a closed process. The abo Sterighurt systems have also proven themselves in the production of coffee cream and sterile cream.
The abo-UHTherm system is an ultra -high- temperature system for milk and milk products and works in the range of 120 - 140 ° C either on a sterile tank or directly on a system for aseptic cold filling.
abo washing systems for cleaning and degreasing containers and containers, as well as for parts cleaning in metal processing and engine construction. The entire system was made of stainless and corrosion-resistant steel.
Ahrens & Bode supplied the abo tankers mainly for the transport of liquid food and beverages, in factory or customer-specific versions. Insulated tank structures, pressure- and vacuum-tight structures, heated tanks and tanks for flammable liquids were available. Tank semitrailers were also manufactured in a self-supporting construction. All tanks could be cleaned and disinfected with CIP cleaning .
Signboard of the company were the milk collection vehicle of the type abo-Condor with lateral acceptor abo-Milan by accepting box at the rear; as well as the abo-Albatros , a tank structure on a semi-trailer chassis and with an acceptance booth on the tractor unit. At the end of June 1983, the container, collection and transport system for milk, or CET for short, was presented and used for the first time for the transport of raw milk at Milchzentrale Mannheim-Heidelberg AG. Conceived by the transport company Horst Kirschlohr from Trienz in the Odenwald, the system was implemented by Ahrens & Bode and Emil Dautel GmbH from Leingarten. The CET was based on two Mercedes-Benz NG 1617 milk collecting trucks with an acceptance cabin installed behind the driver's cab (similar to abo-Albatros) and removable 8,500 l tank containers , a Mercedes-Benz NG 1628 S semi-trailer truck to accommodate three of these tank containers and a stationary, hydraulic (container -) Exchange system from Dautel .
The abo-Bier-Tanker is a vehicle for the transport of beer from the brewery to the end customer with cellar tanks. Two variants were available: on the one hand the box body, optionally also as a swap body; on the other hand, the compact system for placing on vehicle platforms. Equipped with on-board CO 2 supply and a hose of up to 60 m, large quantities of beer could be produced within a very short time. B. be delivered to restaurants and pumped around.
