In earlier days, dairy ingredients were based on whey and whey derivatives as spin-offs of cheese and yogurt production. Since then, the technical evolution has revolutionized the possibilities for extracting dairy ingredients directly, so today dairy ingredients are not just a spin-off from whey and whey derivates. Dairy ingredients contain many of the valuable components found in milk. Processed most recognizably as powdered or liquid nutritional and dietary supplements, a multitude of dairy-derived products also represent key additives and ingredients in a wide range of human snacks, beverages and infant formulas.

GEA’s range of instrumentation, process control and monitoring systems are designed to optimize your spray drying process, giving you the best possible return at the lowest cost of ownership.
Analytical, in-line control & measurement devices
Combining process monitoring using online analyzers, together with solid process engineering principles and advanced process modelling techniques will enable processes to be actively controlled in order to compensate for input variations.
Aseptic Pigging System
An aseptic pigging system allows to recover cost intensive products out of product lines. Powered by compressed sterile air, the pig pushes the product out of the pipe. The remaining product film on the inside of the product line can then be removed with the CIP.
