The Miteco Code

Angelo Cadeo is the General Manager, Chairman und Founder of Miteco. As a visionary creative force, he has had a huge influence not only on the development of Miteco as a company, but also on the very early beginnings of the company before it was founded in 1982. In other words, all the technological innovations developed during this period of time were developed under his leadership. They are considered to be industry-wide state of the art solutions for the manufacture and blending of beverages and liquid foodstuffs. This route to market success was founded on a knack for choosing the right people for the company. We promise our customers quality and service, a promise that is fulfilled by a team of employees whose typical characteristics include commitment and reliability, as well as specialist knowledge.

Milestones

1966	A technical first: radial jet mixing is a newly developed blending technology that offers many advantages compared to earlier processes. The first industrial Radial Jet Mixer dissolves sugar in batches and blends syrup.
1972	The innovation continues: a process for continuous sugar dissolving is developed and patented. Two units go into operation in the same year.
1976	Climate proof: The first outdoor silo with no isolation works successfully in damp and cold conditions.
1977	Several things at the same time: Simultmix^® is patented and used for the continuous blending of carbonated soft drinks.
1977	Processing without a break: a unit with activated carbon and filtration systems for the continuous processing of sugar solutions is developed.
1982	Successful start-up: Angelo Cadeo founds Miteco together with several individuals he has worked with before. With the knowledge and experience of the founding team, the company immediately becomes a leading competitor in the process and technology market.
1982-1984	Refined: the Radial Jet Mixer und Contisolv^® undergo further development. The processes become more versatile - new Miteco units can blend various ingredients and several different beverages simultaneously in one unit.
1985	Yet another patent: this time it is for the continuous in-line blending unit Continew^®, which sets new standards for non-carbonated drinks and syrups.
1986	In action: the first Continew^® unit enables the continuous processing of Coca Cola syrup.
1990	No more lumps: The Coaxial Injector is patented. It brings an end to the problem of lumps by converting sugar into a liquid.
1992	More fields of application: the Coaxial Injector is now able to dissolve all kinds of powders in liquids.
1994	Combined advantages: the Coaxial Injector is used to feed sugar into a Contisolv^® unit for the first time.
1995	Active savings: for the first time, Miteco units use a process that reduces the temperature for activated carbon treatment of sugar solutions to an efficient 20 °C. Less activated carbon, lower energy consumption, lower costs - streets ahead of techniques that have been used in the industry up to now.
1996	Always fits: the newly developed universal carbonation units can be fitted to any filling unit.
1998	More variety: the new Miteco developments Multimix^® and Multiblender^® can manufacture various drinks simultaneously and supply several filling units. A patent is submitted for these technologies.
1998	Simply pump it away: Miteco emptying stations for small concentrate containers simplify the handling of raw materials.
1999	Four in one: the first Multiblender^® for blending four different products goes into operation.
2000-2001	Never stops: research and development are driven forward. A new continuous blending process guarantees homogenous blending results in each pump stage.
2002	Elimination of colourants: a Contiflot^® pilot unit is developed for the continuous decolourisation of sugar solutions using flocculation and downstream flotation.
2003	Acceptance: two large Contiflot^® units go into industrial operation.
2004	Versatile: for the first time, a Multimix^® unit is used for the continuous blending of beverages and final syrup in the production of Coca Cola.
