SPX Flow infant formula processing equipment

SPX Flow has available a range of equipment for the delivery of complete infant formula processing plants, from reception through to drying.

The company’s innovation centres provide testing and trialling facilities where customers can work with infant formula process experts.

The range includes a large portfolio of hygienic technology including heat exchangers, valves, mixers and blenders, pumps, evaporators, UHT equipment, homogenisers and dryers.

Products include the Flex-Mix Instant, a vacuum mixer which provides high-capacity, high-performance, gentle mixing. As the system is closed, the mixer has increased hygienic properties. Separation of wet and dry phases of the process, which includes a valve system that prevents backflush of liquid into the powder section of the machine, further increases hygienic performance.

The Waukesha E-Series sanitary centrifugal pump uses high-powered drive magnets and impellers to remove the need for mechanical seals and increase food safety. The 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.
