This new plant in Dairygold’s Nutritionals Campus Mallowwill havea powder output capacity of 7.5MT/hr of whole milk, skim milk and fat-filled milk powders and will be on full production in March of 2020. The plant is similar to the previous projectswith Dairygoldimplementedrespectively andcommissioned by GEA in 2016 (GEAevaporator, spray drierandpowder packing and handling).

In addition to these new projects, GEA has previously supplied and commissioned major projects for Dairygold in their other main milk-powder facility in Mitchelstown, notably a new spray drier, evaporator and various other evaporator projects, as well as another 12MT/hr x 25kgpowder packingLI Line and a 10MT/hr x 1,000kg IBC-Filler(Intermediate Bulk Containers)andpowder systemto suit.

When the previous Mallow facility was officially opened last year, Dairygold Chief Executive Jim Woulfe said: “The Mallow investment delivers on the twin objectives of our Dairy Expansion plan. This world-class Nutritionals Campus not only caters for our members’ expanding milk production, but it also puts in place the processing technology to expand our range of higher-value ingredientsfor the adult and infant nutritionals sector.This in turn creates more value added for our increasing milk volumes. The Nutritionals Campus will be at the forefront of our Nutritionals growth agenda.”

Dairygold’s previous experience of GEA’s project and technical team’s abilities, knowledge and enthusiasm to solve commissioning issues quicklyandefficiently was a big factor in awarding this further contract to GEA, as well as the well-recognised experience GEA has withinfant formulaproduction plant design and finished powder requirements.

“We are honoured that Dairygold chose us again as their process technology provider,” saidNiels Erik Olsen, member of the Executive Boardof GEA GroupAktiengesellschaft.“It is inspiring for us to partner with industry leaders in Ireland such as Dairygold.”
