CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SPX FLOW, Inc.
(NYSE: FLOW), a leading provider of process solutions for the
nutrition, health and industrial markets, will provide its Ultra
High Temperature (UHT) technology process lines to one of the
Middle East's leading dairy
producers.
The sale comes just days after SPX FLOW and SIG announced
something that's unprecedented in the Middle East: a new Technology Center in
Dubai that will stretch the value
chain all the way from research and development to processing and
packaging. The Technology Center will accelerate how customers test
a complete delivery solution, speeding up their time to market.
The customer, a producer of long-life milk, flavored milk and
feta cheese, will install two UHT process lines, as well as SPX
FLOW valves, pumps, a homogenizer, a mixer and components for plate
heat exchangers.
"This is exactly what we envisioned would happen with the
Technology Center," said Gerard
Lang, SPX FLOW's vice president of Nutrition
& Health Systems. "This new collaboration makes us a one-stop
provider for a complete process solution, and companies in the
Middle East have been waiting a
long time for this."
SPX FLOW helped pioneer UHT development during the 1950s and
1960s. Today, the company offers a large choice of technology,
ranging from low cost "express" systems to customized solutions
that meet exact processing needs and specific product
qualities.
UHT processes many products, such as dairy, grain, fruit, nuts
and liquids, including yogurt, sauces, juices and baby food. At the
Technology Center, SPX FLOW will test products, finding the right
balance between optimal temperature and total processing time. This
extends product shelf life while retaining the taste, texture and
depth consumers expect.
One of SPX FLOW's most popular UHT technologies is InfusionPlus.
It holds products at high temperatures for only a short time. The
UHT reaches 157°C, and the holding time is less than 0.1
seconds.
For many competitors, the holding time often takes at least 1
second, which means the product cannot sustain temperatures as high
as InfusionPlus. SPX FLOW has done trials with its own equipment,
and even just an extra tenth of a second meant people could taste
the caramelisation. It's called the Maillard reaction, and it
changes the color of the milk while also making it taste
boiled.
"Customers are quickly making reservations at the Technology
Center to benchmark their recipes to see about taste and color,"
Lang said. "We expect in the next few months, the Technology Center
will be fully booked."
