Thermal Process
Solutions

Fundamentals-first, data-driven expertise for food and beverage producers, breweries, dairies, distilleries, and industrial processors. We specialize in sanitary system design, CIP validation, hygienic inspections, and thermal process troubleshooting built to 3A standards.

CIP System Design & Validation

Clean-in-place systems are only as effective as their design and validation. We assess your CIP circuits for proper flow velocity, temperature distribution, chemical contact time, and drain-ability. We identify dead legs, shadow zones, and incomplete coverage that compromise product safety and regulatory compliance.

Hygienic Design Consultation

From surface finish specifications and weld profiles to gasket selection and fitting geometry, we help your team design equipment that cleans reliably and meets 3A Sanitary Standards from the first day of operation. Good hygienic design prevents contamination before it starts.

3A Tank Inspections

We conduct thorough inspections of sanitary vessels against 3A Sanitary Standards criteria, covering internal surface finish, weld quality, crevice elimination, vent and drain design, and fitting compliance. Detailed reports are provided to support your quality and regulatory programs.

Sanitary Heat Exchanger Inspections

Plate, tubular, and scraped-surface heat exchangers each carry unique hygienic risks. We inspect for gasket integrity, product-side surface condition, flow path drain-ability, and compliance with applicable sanitary standards. We also assess thermal performance to identify fouling, scaling, and efficiency loss before they become production problems.

Process Mapping & Troubleshooting

We start with a clean slate and map your heat exchanger or process flow from scratch. Using a data-driven approach, we identify root causes behind recurring issues and deliver real, actionable solutions. When the history of a system has become unclear, a fresh map is the fastest path back to confidence.

System Audits

Proactive audits keep your equipment healthy, maintain production runtimes, and reduce resource consumption. We work through what the system should do, what it is actually doing, and why any gap exists. The result is a clear picture of your process with no unwanted surprises.

Sanitary Expansion Planning

Adding capacity to a food or beverage operation requires more than bigger vessels. We help you plan hygienic layouts, specify sanitary-grade equipment, validate CIP reach for new circuits, and keep production moving during the transition. From pilot scale to full production, we keep sanitary compliance at the center of every decision.

Team Education & Training

A well-trained team is your best defense against contamination, downtime, and regulatory findings. We offer hands-on training, remote consultation, and structured seminars covering CIP principles, hygienic design fundamentals, sanitary standards, and thermal process basics. Sessions are tailored to your equipment and your team.

Design &
Prototyping

We combine hardware expertise, modern CAD tooling, and hands-on fabrication to move your idea from concept to working prototype quickly and without sacrificing quality. Sanitary-grade fabrication available for food and beverage applications.

Discuss Your Project
01

Mechatronics & Mechanical Design

From TTL to ESP32 and well beyond. Component design, programming, prototyping, testing, fixture creation, and interlinking systems using the best available methods. Full training and documentation provided at project closure.

02

Prototyping & Custom Fabrication

3D printing, CAD design, and metalworking combined to move quickly from concept sketches to working prototypes. We handle small-scale components and full assemblies, including sanitary-grade parts built to food and beverage standards.

03

Custom Automotive & Machine Componentry

Modern 3D scan, design, fit, and move-to-production workflows. Thermal and stress failure modes identified early with finite element analysis, reducing costly testing iterations and getting your parts to production faster.

04

Data Collection Systems

Custom data collection systems covering environmental temperature, humidity, vibration, pressure, flow, and more. Wireless and wired options available, battery or solar powered. If you can describe the measurement, we can build the system.

Sanitary Expertise,
Built on Fundamentals

DLG Systems LLC is a Louisville, Kentucky-based technical services firm founded on the belief that the best solutions come from deep fundamentals knowledge, honest data, and clear communication.

We work across sanitary thermal process systems, custom mechanical design, and precision prototyping. We serve food and beverage producers, breweries, dairies, distilleries, and manufacturers who need more than off-the-shelf solutions.

Every project begins with listening and ends with documentation. We do not just fix problems. We help your team understand them, so the same issue never surfaces twice.
