The industries we serve

Explore the diversity of the sectors we support

At Spirax Group, we engineer your everyday

Around the clock, all over the world, industrial processes need to run safely, efficiently and reliably. These processes are rarely seen: heat being controlled, fluid transferred, steam managed, temperatures maintained, ingredients handled, water treated and equipment operating without interruption. However, they are essential to delivering the products and services that people depend on.

Behind these everyday products, services and systems is Spirax Group's technologies and expertise. From Food & Beverage, Healthcare, Water & Wastewater and Power Generation to Semiconductors, Datacentres, Mining, Oil & Gas and other highly specialised industries, we support sectors where performance matters, reliability is critical and small improvements make a difference.

Whether our customers produce microchips or potato chips, vaccines or clean water, our role is to help them operate with confidence. You can find out more about the industries we serve below.

  • Brown glass bottles on a production line. A red tab under the image reads Food & Beverage with an icon of a burger and a drink

    Food & Beverage

    Steam is used for blanching, cooking, baking, brewing, distilling, packaging, cleaning and sterilising. Electric heating elements are used in commercial food equipment. Pumps are used to meter and transfer ingredients, deliver food to process lines, and handle process waste.

  • A blister pack of pills with a green band underneath stating Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology with an icon of a pill and a capsule

    Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology

    Clean steam reduces the risk of product and process contamination; electrical heating is used in a wide range of process heating applications; our peristaltic pumps, valves and single-use components enable precise flow control and fluid isolation.

  • A modern factory setting with automatic robots. A teal strip of blue sits underneath with the text OEM machinery. There is a cog item next to it.

    OEM Machinery

    Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are companies that build and supply machines for use in industry. Our activities with OEMs vary from simple product supply to advising on machine performance improvements and process plant design.

  • A picture of an oil refinery at night. There is an orange tab underneath that says 'oil and gas' with an oil drum icon next to it.

    Oil & Gas

    Electrical heating products increase fluid viscosity, deliver freeze protection and help separate natural gas, crude oil and water during extraction. Our steam products enable optimum steam system performance and reduce energy use during oil and gas production.

  • A worker in a chemical site in full covering. There is a pink tab beneath the image with the text 'chemicals' with a test tube icon.

    Chemicals

    Steam and electricity are widely used as an energy source in chemical production and product processing, while our pumps are used to safely and accurately transfer and dose critical chemical components.

  • A power generation site indoors. There is a blue tab underneath the image stating 'power generation' with a funnel icon next to it

    Power Generation

    Electrical heat technologies are widely used to optimise power generation. Steam turbines transfer chemical energy in fuel into electrical energy and steam is used to distribute and re-use waste heat formed during the power generation process.

  • A woman in scrubs and a stethoscope is writing on a keyboard. A blue tab sits beneath the picture with a cross icon next to the word Healthcare

    Healthcare

    Steam is used in hospitals and clinics for space heating, hot water production, humidification and sterilisation. Pumps and associated equipment are used in the manufacture of products for the Healthcare industry.

  • A building site with cranes. There is a blue strip beneath stating buildings with icons of a skyscraper

    Buildings

    Steam is used to provide space heating, humidification and hot water in public and private buildings, while our electrical products are used for hot water and heat generation, snow melting, gutter and roof de-icing, and frost-heave prevention.

  • A wastewater facility on a sunny day. There is a blue tab underneath with an icon of a drop of water. The text says 'Water and Wastewater'.

    Water & Wastewater

    Peristaltic pumps are used to dose chemicals during water treatment processes and to transfer viscous and abrasive slurries. Electrical heating solutions provide freeze protection, temperature maintenance and space heating in water treatment plants.

  • Semiconductor manufacturing in progress. A purple tab sits under the image with an icon and word next to it denoting semiconductor

    Semiconductor

    Electrical products are used in printing production processes to ensure thermal uniformity which is critical during the chemical production process; clean and pure steam generators supply the humidification system to ensure the air is not too dry or wet.

  • Shipping containers being loaded onto a large boat. There is a yellow tab beneath the image and it says 'Transport' with an icon of a lorry in white next to it

    Transport

    Electrical heating components provide freeze protection and defrost for engines, rotating equipment, mechanical systems and fluid delivery. Lined hoses are used for braking, cooling, transmission and steering systems. Our steam heat exchange and recovery solutions are used on cruise ships.

  • A yellow transportation truck is parked on a piece of land. There is a green band of colour beneath the image with the text Mining and Precious Metal Processing with an icon of three bricks in a pyramid shape

    Mining & Precious Metal Processing

    Peristaltic pumps reduce water, energy and chemical use and increase productivity while moving and processing abrasive ores and slurries. Electrical heating is used for temperature maintenance and space heating for workers.
