OUR VARIED
LACTASE PORTFOLIO
The production of lactose-free
products has been the fastest
growing segment in the dairy
industry in recent years. Thus,
the use of the enzyme lactase
in various versions has become
indispensable for this industrial
food sector. Our Dairyzym series
includes all varieties of lactase
preparations, to meet the particular
needs of our customers.

Krones: International FoodTec Award
In production, media to be metered are usually supplied in special pouches
that are individually adapted to the corresponding discharge system. The bags
are connected to the dosing equipment via hoses, dosing needles or similar injection
systems. Manual interventions are often necessary to connect the injection systems to
the dosing device as germ-free as possible or to sterilise the injection needles.
In contrast to systems already on the market, the Krones dosing station does not require
any special injection systems, thus enabling the bags to be used and processed safely.
After the entire piping system, including the dosage pump, has been sterilised by saturated
steam at over 121 degrees Celsius for more than 20 minutes, the pouches are placed
on the work platform and held in place by a light vacuum. In the next step, the dosing
area and at the same time the bag surface are sterilised fully automatically with peracetic
acid. This prevents recontamination at the puncture site as well as contamination through
possible leakages. The peracetic acid residues are safely removed by sterile air and condensate
and the bag can be pierced with a mandrel and then emptied. For continuous
operation, up to three dosing platforms are available in one machine.
Besides the high level of microbiological safety, the Krones system also offers users other
advantages. For instance, it provides a high degree of flexibility, since they are not dependent
on manufacturer-specific injection systems when purchasing the packaging form
of the medium to be dosed. And the high degree of automation rules out the possibility
of operator error.
ANDRITZ
New screen scroll centrifuge
ANDRITZ has developed a new screen scroll centrifuge with innovative
features that reduce wear, enable the rapid exchange of parts, and increase
maintainability.
The new ANDRITZ screen
scroll centrifuge HX can process
bulk chemicals, minerals,
agrochemicals, and food,
even under difficult feeding
conditions. It is designed
for improved product quality
and maintainability. New
features include a Gentle
Feeder feeding system, a
modular scroll, and a rotating
assembly that can be removed
and replaced in one
piece (express cartridge).
The express cartridge design enables
the entire rotating assembly to be
replaced without dismantling any
process piping of the new screen
scroll centrifuge (photo: ANDRITZ)
