What Aurum Process Technology does

Aurum Process Technology S.L. is a privately held Spanish industrial machinery manufacturer, headquartered in Molina de Segura, Murcia, that designs and engineers complete processing lines and equipment for the food, plant-based, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, chemical, and brewery industries. The company's offerings are organized around four process lines — Aseptic Cooking, Plant-Based Extraction, Hygienic Thermal Processing, and CIP Stations — supported by an equipment catalog that spans six distinct heat-exchanger architectures (Multitube MI, Shell and Tube K, Annular Space AS, Double Tube DTA, Multi-Pass RM 4.2, Single-Pass RM 4.4), multiple aseptic and conventional fillers (Doypack, Pillow, Bag-in-Box, FFS), inline homogenization equipment (Shear Pump, Colloidal Mill, Blender-Mixer), and four scaled variants of its patented T-Sensation® aseptic cooking reactor (T-50 through T-1000, covering 50 to 1,200 L per batch). Underlying differentiators are two registered patents — T-Sensation® integrating cooking, transfer, and aseptic filling in one continuous process, and an exclusive Oat Drink Extraction technology delivering high starch gelatinization with optimized enzymatic hydrolysis — plus cited energy efficiency outcomes (up to 68% direct energy savings, 77% electricity reduction, 58% steam reduction, and process time compression from 120 to 48 minutes). The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications covering design and manufacture of industrial machinery.

Aurum operates an enterprise field-sales model selling customized, quote-based engineered systems primarily into food manufacturers — led by pet food and ready-meal producers — and increasingly into plant-based beverage extraction, with secondary exposure to pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and chemical processors and a recently launched brewery by-product valorization offering. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment and complete-line sales plus custom engineering, installation, and commissioning services. Go-to-market combines direct project consultation supported by content marketing (website, innovations blog, LinkedIn, YouTube, X), industry trade shows (notably Interzoo 2026 in the pet food segment), and — as of May 2026 — an exclusive cooperation partnership with JBT Marel, a global food processing systems integrator, that channels Aurum's aseptic technology into JBT's worldwide wet pet food and ready-to-eat meal portfolio. With 11–50 employees, active project presence in Spain, the United States, France, and Germany, and no disclosed institutional funding, Aurum appears to be a founder-led, closely-held engineering firm scaling through its technology IP and channel partnerships.
