Managing multiple suppliers across different project phases costs time, energy and money. At Kuipers, we work closely with our clients. We guide the entire process (where required) and you will always have one dedicated point of contact. Simple and effective.
We have extensive experience in the detailed design and the construction of installations for the food processing and chemical industry. The Dutch dairy industry sets increasingly high quality standards.
Kuipers Woudsend supplies hygenic and aseptic systems that meet these ever-increasing requirements. Kuipers Woudsend is a member of the EHEDG, further advancing our commitment to hygienic design and construction of food and drink industry equipment.
We supply complete stainless steel solutions – from cooling and heating systems, agitators and tanks integrated with stairs and platforms, to piping, control panels and wiring.
Kuipers Woudsend ensures the entire system meets all applicable standards and regulations, including EHEDG document-10 for food industry tanks.
There are four reasons we can guarantee short lead times: experience, quality, commitment and efficient planning. For you as a client, this translates into real time savings across your entire project.
We work efficiently, both on the shopfloor as well as with our sales and engineering staff and as such, you can expectdirect lines of communication with your point of contact. We strive for optimal support throughout the entire process, from RFQ to delivery. Every client is allocated a dedicated internal project manager whom supports you from start to finish.
From a rough brief to a fully worked-out design – our engineers make it happen. Including 3D design, calculations and all required documentation.
One of the key strengths of our approach is proven in practice: cost savings of up to 25% have been achieved through close collaboration between the Procurement and Engineering teams of our clients and those of Kuipers Woudsend.
Kuipers Woudsend’s engineering department can take full responsibility for development based on a functional design. We manage the entire project – from detailed design and procurement through to quality inspection, on-site installation and commissioning. We also take on smaller-scope projects, for instance by going straight into production based on drawings supplied by the client.
Our well-trained engineers design and calculate everything clients need – from storage tanks and pressure vessels to piping and other components of production installations, right up to full plant designs. They respond quickly and effectively to your specific requirements. We handle the entire process: from specification and plan of approach, through production, delivery and installation, to on-site commissioning and maintenance. Our engineers have extensive hands-on experience, market knowledge and work within PED regulations, supported by ERP integration. We use 3D design software (Inventor) and advanced tools for flat pattern development.
Our workshop in Woudsend is equipped for large – and complex projects. From a single component to a complete process line installation – everything is built under controlled conditions by certified professionals.
Depending on the client’s requirements, Kuipers Woudsend produces individual components for one client and a fully integrated process installation with controls for another. We inspect internal pipe-to-pipe welds using an endoscope and have an ultrasonic wall thickness gauge and roughness meter at our disposal. We are also authorised to re-stamp batch numbers.
In addition to our generic machine park and materials for stainless steel process equipment, Kuipers Woudsend operates specialised and bespoke equipment such as: a decoiling machine with straightening rolls and guillotine shears, a computerised ROUNDO 4-roll bending machine, a welding fixture for plasma/TIG welding of longitudinal seams, orbital welding of pipe-to-pipe and pipe-to-plate, a welding carousel, a vertical TIG butt-welding machine and modern TIG/MIG equipment. Grinding, polishing, pickling and passivating are carried out in-house. All other stainless steel surface treatments are available within a 15-kilometre radius of Woudsend.
Large or small, straightforward or complex – our engineers work anywhere. “A six-metre diameter tank on a hard-to-reach site?” We never back down from a challenge.
In addition to design, production and delivery, we also handle the installation and assembly of the vessels, tanks and auxiliary equipment we produce. Our engineers work according to strict instructions and procedures. Kuipers Woudsend is SCC** certified.
No project is too demanding for us. Whether it involves placing and anchoring a tank with a diameter of 6 metres and a length of 25 metres, fitting piping to an existing system, or levelling a tank in less than ideal conditions – we take it on.
Kuipers Woudsend also takes care of procuring all materials and services required for a project. Procurement can be arranged with customer designated suppliers under terms agreed between the client and supplier(s).
A good product also needs good maintenance. We are not just there at handover – we remain available for maintenance, breakdowns and modifications.
Without maintenance, everything comes to a halt. To ensure your business keeps running, installations must be kept in top condition. Our engineers maintain your valuable equipment, replace critical parts in time and resolve any faults promptly.
Our production facility in Woudsend is located along open waterways and easy access to the motorway. Large equipment can be delivered efficiently by road or by ship – an option few manufacturers can offer.
Delivery is just as important as production. We arrange safe – and efficient transport for everything we build. Finished products are collected by a carrier and delivered to your site. Our production halls have large overhead doors, making them suitable for oversized equipment.
Kuipers Woudsend has excellent road access and is situated directly adjacent to open waterways, allowing large installations to be shipped to their final destination.
Do you have a challenge, an idea or a question? Feel free to get in touch, we are happy to think it through with you.
We built two mixing tanks for a major dairy producer in the south of the Netherlands. Designed and built to meet EHEDG requirements, feuturing optimised agitators and Duplex material chosen to resist salt corrosion.
Kuipers produced manure tanks on a self-supporting chassis with a calibrated weighing system — built for heavy-duty use in the agricultural road transport of animal manure and liquid fertilisers.
