ASME-Certified Pressure Vessels and Skid Systems for the Food Industry

What is ASME Certification?

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) developed the internationally recognized Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC). This code defines strict requirements for the design, fabrication, inspection, testing, and certification of pressure vessels and related systems.

Pressure vessels certified according to ASME standards are manufactured using approved materials, certified welding procedures, documented quality controls, and third-party inspections. In many countries and industries, ASME certification is mandatory for pressure-containing equipment.

For food processing applications, this certification provides confidence that vessels can safely handle pressurized processes while maintaining the highest standards of quality and traceability.

Certified Vessels and Skids; Worldwide Compliance

Every project has unique requirements. Regulations differ between countries, industries, and applications. That is why global manufacturers need a partner who understands both engineering and international compliance.

At Precona, we manufacture both standalone pressure vessels and fully integrated skid systems with the correct certification for the destination market.

This includes support for:

• ASME certification
• PED compliance for Europe
• Customer-specific standards
• International inspection and documentation requirements
• Material traceability and quality documentation

Whether a project is delivered to Europe, North America, the Middle East, or Asia, Precona ensures that the required certifications and documentation are in place.

Complete Skid Systems with Integrated Quality Assurance

Modern food factories increasingly demand complete skid-mounted systems that can be installed and commissioned efficiently on-site. These systems often integrate:

• Pressure vessels
• Pumps
• Heat exchangers
• Pipework
• Instrumentation
• Automation components

The challenge is not only building the system, but ensuring that the entire assembly complies with applicable international standards.

Precona combines engineering expertise, certified welding procedures, inspection protocols, and project management into one integrated manufacturing process. This allows customers to receive complete skid systems that are production-ready and compliant from day one.

The Importance of Documentation and Traceability

International certification goes far beyond the vessel itself. Complete documentation is essential for validation, inspections, insurance requirements, and operational safety.

Typical documentation packages include:

• Material certificates
• Welding qualifications
• Inspection reports
• Pressure test documentation
• Surface finish reports
• Manufacturing data books
• Third-party inspection approvals

This level of traceability is particularly important in food and pharmaceutical environments, where process reliability and hygienic standards are non-negotiable.

A Reliable Partner for International Food Technology Projects

As the new name of Ommeren Metaaltechniek, Precona continues to build on decades of expertise in high-quality process equipment manufacturing.

From pressure vessels to complete skid systems, Precona supports customers worldwide with certified solutions tailored to their market requirements. Regardless of the destination country or applicable standard, we ensure that every vessel and skid is manufactured with the right certification, documentation, and quality assurance.

For food manufacturers, OEMs, and process integrators, this means one reliable partner for safe, compliant, and future-proof process equipment.
