Arla Foods, one of the world's largest dairy food cooperatives, and APV, a brand within SPX FLOW’s Nutrition & Health division, announced plans to create a UHT center of excellence.
The plan calls for a $30 million expansion of Arla Foods' Lockerbie Creamery in Scotland to mass scale milkshake, sundae, and lactose-free production. The expansion also underpins Arla’s ambition to be carbon net zero by 2050.
SPX FLOW designed the UHT solution around Arla’s agreed targets for minimizing water, energy, and waste. By enabling long production runs and reducing operational steps, the APV Injection UHT solution is expected to cut operational costs by 30%–50% while supporting a high-volume/low-product strategy.
“By combining our APV expertise, Arla's creating a UHT Center of Excellence that will sustainably support innovation and deliver high-quality products for years to come,” says Simon Phillips, President for Nutrition & Health Solutions at SPX FLOW.
