Jak robot udojowy zmienił życie matki
Życie Michele Schneider zmieniło się w sposób niespodziewany, gdy jej mężem został Virlei, ambitny hodowca była mlecznego i gdy razem założyli w Brazylii gospodarstwo mleczne Fazenda Inovação Schneider Milk. Jako nowicjuszka w branży produkcji mleka, Michele szybko rozwinęła pasję do zwierząt i prowadzenia gospodarstwa. Zwiększyło się także jej obciążenie pracą.
Oddzielanie od reszty
Historia wirówki GEA rozpoczęła się w 1893 roku, gdy Franz Ramesohl i Franz Schmidt zaczęli produkować opatentowane mechaniczne separatory do mleka, torując drogę nowoczesnym metodom przetwórstwa mleka. Innowacja ta pomogła poradzić sobie z największym wyzwaniem ich czasów: dostarczaniem mleka dla coraz większej liczby mieszkańców niemieckich miast w końcówce XIX w. Pomogła także zasilać rozwijający się przemysł. Do roku 1913 dołączyło do nich 67 niemieckich firm wytwarzających wirówki, z których liczne miały siedzibę w pobliżu ich zakładu w Oelde. Nawet po 130 latach bycia liderem technologii separacji GEA nie ustaje w tworzeniu innowacji w zakresie wirówek.
