The simplification of lecithination
We created the technology to add lecithin more than 50 years ago and made a whole new process for a new product type possible. But now it’s time for another significant improvement in the world of spray drying. The Lecithin Adding Unit has been carefully designed to meet the highest standards for dairy powders, including whole milk powders and WPC (whey protein concentrate). The functional design offers easy access to all components, and it’s simple to disassemble all the parts, including pipes. Hygiene is prioritized with open profiles, open cable trays and cabinets with an angled roof. Importantly, the new system can be cleaned with vegetable oil, thereby avoiding the use of water and cleaning agents, and so eliminating microbiological risks.
Benefits at a glance:
- Easy to install solution
- Easy to access, clean and maintain
- A fully drainable system
- Cleaned with vegetable oil
- Electrical heat trace
- Remotely controllable unit
A more profitable process
We not only found ways to achieve a more reliable, cleaner and smarter lecithination process. We designed an off-the-peg unit, minimized setup costs and installation time, and we reduced your running costs by making it a breeze to clean and maintain. In other words, we minimized downtime to maximize your payback.
Ready for new as well as existing spray drying plants
The Lecithin Adding Unit is compatible with all spray drying plants running with a powder capacity from 1000 – 15000 kg/h. It can easily be a retrofit on existing plants or it can be installed on new plants.
GEA Lecithin Adding Unit 2.0 comes in two versions. The one-tank system is configured for “Ready mixed lecithin”, whereas the two-tank system is made for “Concentrated lecithin”, where the lecithin is mixed with vegetable oil.

De waterbalans
In heel Europa is droogte een terugkerend verschijnsel – en dat blijft niet langer beperkt tot het zuiden. Hoewel bedrijven hun vestigingsplaats steeds vaker kiezen op basis van de beschikbaarheid van water, wordt de waarde ervan bepaald door de lokale context. Er zijn tal van technologische manieren om het waterverbruik in industriële processen te optimaliseren, maar ook de locatie, de energiebehoefte en andere factoren spelen een cruciale rol.
