SPX Flow releases brochure on infant formula processing

SPX FLOW’s expertise in infant formula processing covers all areas of the production line from reception through to drying. The company’s innovation centers provide testing and trialing facilities where customers can work in partnership with the company’s experts in infant formula process.

With a large portfolio of hygienic technology including heat exchangers, valves, mixers and blenders, pumps, evaporators, UHT equipment, homogenizers and dryers, SPX FLOW is able to create a solution for most requirements. Its technology is designed to deliver optimum product quality with maximum safety and efficiency. 

Advanced technology offerings include the Flex-Mix Instant; a high performance vacuum mixer which provides high capacity, high performance, gentle mixing with excellent results. As the system is closed, the mixer has inherently increased hygienic properties. Clever separation of wet and dry phases of the process, which includes a patented valve system that prevents back flush of liquid into the powder section of the machine, further increases hygienic performance and reliability.

Other examples of technology innovation include the Waukesha E-Series sanitary centrifugal pump. It uses high-powered drive magnets and extremely efficient impellers to remove the need for mechanical seals and increase food safety while providing superb pumping efficiency. The SPX FLOW Instant Infusion process produces increased log reduction of heat-resistant spores while protecting the nutritional value of the product. The system increases food safety while also extending production run times with low fouling rates.

SPX FLOW infant formula solutions can lead to increased plant running times, handle solutions with higher solids content and increased log reduction, and produce ‘Grade A’ classified final products. They can also also improve the use of energy, water, raw materials and CIP chemicals to reduce overall operational costs.

With the ability and experience to support all aspects of infant formula production and a wide choice of innovative technology, SPX FLOW is able to design and engineer systems to meet individual application requirements. This includes specific final product characteristics, production capacity and installation footprint of the plant. Overall, an SPX FLOW infant formula plant offers customers the highest quality results, assured food safety and an excellent return on investment.
