Gpi’s skids; the leading choice for compact, integrated solutions that streamline and accelerate your process
Are you looking for a powerful, efficient, hygienic, and reliable total solution for your process?
Gpi De Gouwe specializes in skid construction: we design, build, and deliver fully integrated, compact process installations on a robust frame, entirely tailored to your production process. Whether it involves mixing, heating, cooling, or dosing, skid construction offers reliability, speed, and seamless integration into your production line.
From engineering to installation, with a Gpi skid you are guaranteed quality and process reliability.
What are skids?
Skid construction is an innovative and modular method in which complete process installations are mounted on a compact and mobile frame.
These ‘ready-to-use’ units also known as ‘plug-and-play skids’ are fully assembled and prepared for rapid on-site integration.
A skid typically consists of a smart combination of high-quality process components such as mixing or preparation tanks, heat exchangers, pumps, piping, valves, and complete control systems. These components are fully integrated onto a single frame to ensure seamless operation within your production process.
At Gpi De Gouwe, we design and build these skid units fully customized to your needs. Each skid is engineered for maximum efficiency, hygiene, and reliability within your specific production environment.
We manufacture, among others, dosing skids, mixing skids, and heating modules, always tailored to your process requirements.
Compact and space saving
Our skids are designed to take up as little space as possible, without compromising on functionality or capacity.
Ideal for production environments where space is limited.
Plug-and-play installation
The skid is delivered as a plug-and-play unit, minimizing disruption to your production environment during installation.
This saves valuable time, prevents extended downtime, and enhances the continuity of your operation.
Hygienic design
Our skid construction complies with the latest hygienic food safety standards.
Smart design details, such as tilted piping within a so-called ‘diamond frame’ prevent dirt accumulation and ensure optimal cleanability.
Guaranteed operation
Because we handle the complete engineering, construction, and integration of all components, you are assured of a perfectly aligned and fully functional installation that works from day one.
Options and applications
Every industry and application has its own unique requirements for a skid.
That’s why at Gpi De Gouwe, each skid solution is designed in close collaboration between our departments. Whether you operate in the food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetics industry, we guarantee that your skid will integrate seamlessly with your product and process.

Pick the right configuration
We understand that every application is different.
That’s why we design your skid based on your specifications, preferences, and production requirements. Want to work with specific brands for pumps, valves, or instrumentation? No problem. Prefer to leave everything to us? Then we’ll select the best components based on reliability, performance, and compatibility.
Thanks to our strong relationships with leading suppliers, we can deliver and integrate high-quality components without delays or technical limitations.
Finishing levels
At Gpi, we maintain a consistently high standard of quality. Our skids are carried out with attention to every detail. We consider drainage possibilities, avoid dead zones, and build our process solutions within a so-called diamond frame.
In addition, all our skids are tested prior to delivery (FAT), ensuring reliable operation from day one.
