IVS manufactured several covers for our fire station, among them covers for radiators and equipment. In terms of surveying, execution, manufacturing and the final appearance the result is outstanding. Thank you for that on behalf of the Kummerow lakeside community. Genuine craftsmanship still exists here.
What food processors expect from us
Food processors cover a broad spectrum: from meat processing (chilling, deep-freezing, blast freezing) through fish and ready-meal production to industrial bakeries. Every type of production has its own requirements for hygiene, temperature and fire protection.
We supply hygienic jackets in V2A and V4A from our own stainless steel prefabrication, cold insulation for pipework, vessels and units, as well as project-specific fire protection cladding for technical installations. All matched to your hygiene and insurance requirements.
Fire protection is particularly critical: high energy inputs at baking ovens, fryers and smokehouses meet combustible fat residues in ventilation ducts. We use certified systems and document the work for authorities and insurers. With a mobile surveying system and CNC prefabrication we are quick to respond during modernisations and hygiene audits. Surveying, prefabrication and installation are agreed on a project basis.
Use at food operations
Cold insulation in chilled and deep-freeze areas: we insulate pipework, fittings, vessels and units with a closed insulation build-up and a continuous vapour barrier. We match the material, the insulation thickness and the metal cladding to the temperature, the cleaning regime and the environment. For extensions and modernisations we coordinate surveying, prefabrication and installation with ongoing operation.
Baking ovens & fryers: thermal insulation combined with fire protection. We encapsulate heat inputs, insulate exhaust air ducts and create safe transitions between hot and cold zones. This is insurance-relevant for industrial bakeries and catering production, because fat residues in ventilation ducts can ignite. Intact fire protection encapsulation keeps a fire locally contained. We build oven jackets with mineral wool or calcium silicate, depending on the process temperature, and combine them with certified fire protection layers. On fryer installations with heat recovery we insulate the waste heat runs so that the residual heat stays usable in the secondary heating network: energy saving and safety in one. Smokehouses and baking lines also get suitable cladding details with accessible cleaning openings for daily operation, so that hygiene routines can be carried out without tools.
Processing lines & tanks: V4A stainless steel jackets on pork and beef chilling installations, fish processing tanks, brine tanks and marinade vessels. Surveying during ongoing operation, installation in maintenance windows, documentation for hygiene auditing. We process stainless steel in a separate hall without any carbon steel contamination: important for IFS and BRC certified operations. Connection details at pumps, agitators and sampling points are finished hygienically, with tight joints and easy-to-clean surfaces. On multi-stage processing lines (e.g. bowl cutter, vacuum, smoking and chilling) we coordinate the cladding alignment across all stations, so that the line is perceived as a closed system both visually and hygienically. Material records and photo documentation go into your plant file automatically and are immediately available for enquiries from authorities and auditors.
Cooling lines and distribution systems: brine and refrigerant lines, fittings, pumps and distributors receive a closed insulation build-up with a continuous vapour barrier. Connections, supports and maintenance points are executed in precise detail. We plan modernisations section by section and coordinate the installation with production, cleaning and the flow of goods.

What our customers say
Voices from meat, fish and bakery operations about working with IVS.
Insulation to HACCP standards
Meat, fish, baked goods: hygienic cladding surfaces in V2A or V4A are the standard here. Describe your cleaning routines to me and we will adapt the build-up to your audits.
Yes, that is in fact the normal case. Food operations typically have chilled, hot and fire protection areas side by side. We coordinate surveying, prefabrication and installation across all zones and hand over continuous documentation for audits at the end.
Our cladding follows the requirements of the food hygiene regulations and HACCP concepts. We supply V4A stainless steel with material records, process it free of contamination in a separate hall and hand over work that can be documented.
Through certified system combinations. The inner thermal insulation holds the process temperature, the outer fire protection layer protects the surroundings and ventilation ducts from the fire spreading. Together the two layers form a certified system.
We insulate pipework, fittings, vessels and units with a closed insulation build-up and a continuous vapour barrier. Details and materials are matched to the temperature, the cleaning regime and the environment on a project basis.
Surveying, prefabrication and installation are agreed with your operational processes and maintenance windows. We give delivery dates on a project basis once the scope, materials and interfaces have been clarified.
Fat deposits in the exhaust ducts of fryers, baking ovens and smokehouses are a typical fire risk. We encapsulate these ducts with certified fire protection systems and document the work as evidence for authorities and insurers.
Yes. For chilling, deep-freezing and blast freezing we carry out cold insulation on pipework, vessels and units with a continuous vapour barrier. This reduces condensation, icing and energy losses on the insulated component.
