Core offering

SWISCA AG designs, manufactures, and sells precision milling machinery, gravimetric weighing and dosing systems, and process automation equipment for the grain milling, brewery, and bakery industries. The portfolio includes roller mills, modular plansifters, grain dampening systems, batch and differential dosing scales, and complementary process components, all controlled via the proprietary VISCA touchscreen automation system with IoT/cloud connectivity. The company also delivers complete turnkey milling plant engineering, installation, commissioning, and aftermarket services including spare parts.

Product overview

SWISCA is a Swiss precision milling technology company offering an integrated portfolio of weighing, dosing, and process equipment for the grain milling, brewery, and bakery industries. The product range centers on gravimetric weighing and dosing systems (BASCA, CERVO, GRANO, MACRO, MICRO batch and differential scales; FLOBA quantity controllers), grain dampening and liquid dosing equipment (DAMPE, DOSWA), core milling machinery (ROMIL roller mill, SIFTO modular plansifter), and a complementary suite of components (EFLAP electric flap box, SCREW conveyor, WHEEL rotary valve, PICUP inlet elbow, FILTO dust filter, GLASS sight glass, BIGBA big bag filling station). All products are controlled via the proprietary VISCA touchscreen control system with Ethernet-based fieldbus connectivity (Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Profibus), RS485 interface, and an independent web server module for IoT, cloud solutions, and remote maintenance. SWISCA positions itself as a full-solution provider offering everything from individual machines to complete turnkey milling systems.

Products and services

• BASCA Batch Scale Highly accurate gravimetric batch weighing instrument for powdered and granular products in industrial food processing, featuring pressure-free drive and control technology, robust touchscreen control, and precision SWISCA load cells. Used by industrial bakeries and food processors.
• CERVO Discharge Scale Highly precise certifiable gravimetric discharge weighing instrument for powdered and granular products with up to 320 m³/h throughput, energy-efficient electromechanical drive systems, and SWISCA load cells for exceptional measurement accuracy. Installed at Swissmill, Molino Maroggia, Siemer (USA), Vogt (Germany), and Rieper (Italy).
• GRANO Differential Dosing Scale Differential dosing scale serving as a mass flow controller that precisely doses selectable throughput and registers total weight to the gram. Used under silos, raw material, and buffer cells for absolutely constant and exact grain mixtures. Installed at Aeschlimann, Swissmill, and Peru Maize facility.
• MACRO Differential Dosing Scale Extremely precise gravimetric weighing instrument for powdered products such as flours, semolina, or bran. Features innovative servo technology with a very large throughput range, touch screen control, and easy cleaning for food-grade sanitation.
• MICRO Micro-Differential Dosing Scale High-precision gravimetric instrument for dosing micro-components such as ascorbic acid, vitamins, starch, dry gluten, egg powder, and flavor/color additives into a continuous product stream. Throughput ranges from 0.5 l/h to 9000 l/h. Installed at Swissmill and Jowa.
• DAMPE Grain Dampener Distributes dampening water energy-efficiently across the entire grain surface, achieving homogeneous grain moisture with minimal product abrasion and breakage. Features automatic Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) for food safety. Works with GRANO differential dosing scale for precise moisture control. Water additions of up to 7% possible.
• DOSWA Liquid Quantity Controller Precisely doses network water or chlorinated water (55°C, 600 ppm). Optimally matched with the GRANO differential dosing scale with moisture measurement. Eliminates the need for a separate moisture meter or additional machine controller.
• FLOBA Quantity Controller

Direct peers

• Bühler Group: Swiss global market leader in grain milling equipment, complete processing plants, and weighing systems. Direct competitor across SWISCA's full product portfolio (roller mills, plansifters, dampeners, weighing/dosing), with substantially larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Hosokawa Alpine: German-Japanese manufacturer of milling, classification, and processing equipment for food, chemicals, and minerals. Directly competes with SWISCA in precision milling and sifting technologies, particularly for grain and powder applications.
• Satake Corporation: Japanese pioneer in grain milling, optical sorting, and rice processing equipment. Comparable to SWISCA as a specialist milling equipment supplier serving flour mills and food processors globally.
• Schenck Process Group: Specialist in weighing, feeding, and screening equipment for bulk material handling across food, minerals, and chemicals. Directly comparable to SWISCA's GRANO, BASCA, CERVO, and FLOBA dosing/weighing product lines for industrial mills.
• Brabender GmbH & Co. KG: German manufacturer of measurement and processing equipment for food, feed, and grain quality testing. Comparable to SWISCA's emphasis on precision measurement, dosing, and milling technologies for the food industry.
• Bühler Barth: A specialized milling equipment business unit within the Bühler ecosystem focused on grain processing plants. Direct overlap with SWISCA's milling plant projects (Mühlenbau) and core roller mill product category.

Broad incumbents

• Alfa Laval: Large Swedish multinational supplying processing equipment, heat exchangers, and separation technology to food, dairy, and beverage industries. Overlaps with SWISCA in food production equipment and hygienic processing systems, though at much broader scope.
• GEA Group: German industrial group providing machinery, plants, and process technology for food processing, dairy, and beverage. Competes with SWISCA on certain process equipment and weighing solutions within food production.
• Marel: Icelandic-headquartered global supplier of advanced processing equipment for food (meat, fish, poultry, dairy). Less direct overlap in grain milling but operates in adjacent food production machinery markets with similar engineering-led enterprise sales.

Emerging players

• Forsberg Services Ltd: Manufacturer of separation, screening, and material handling equipment for food and agricultural processing. Comparable niche scale to SWISCA, with overlapping focus on gravity separators and sifting equipment for grain processing.
