Meat exporter moves into dairy powder processing
SPX Corporation has been awarded a contract to help establish a new dairy powder processing plant in Australia. SPX’s Flow Food and Beverage business was awarded the contract from the Midfield Group for the facility, which will produce both whole and skim milk powder and will also include an anhydrous milk fat (AMF) processing line.
The processing plant will feature an array of SPX equipment including a new preheating process to provide longer run times, enhanced evaporation technology and will utilise SPX’s ‘Triple-A’ dryer enabling production of high-quality milk powders.
Midfield is one of Australia’s largest meat exporters. This project marks its first foray into the global dairy industry.
“We continue to leverage our global dairy processing expertise to expand our presence in Australia and the Asia Pacific region,” said Marc Michael, president of SPX Flow Food and Beverage.
“We look forward to working closely with Midfield Group to establish a state-of-the-art milk powder processing plant to help them grow their global business.”
Work will begin on the project in early 2015 and the new plant is expected to begin operations in mid-2016.
