Welcome at the 42nd Nordic Dairy Congress in Finland 2010 By Anna Marie Thøgersen
The 42nd Nordic Dairy Congress takes place in Hämeenlinna, Finland 17-19 June 2010. This year’s topics are: New Technologies & Innovations in the Dairy Industry. The Finnish president of the 2010 Congress, Mr. Kari Toikkanen outlines his expectations for the upcoming event.
The congress topics
In English
Mr. President could you please shortly comment on why the Nordic Dairy Council have chosen to focus on this year’s congress theme: New Technologies and Innovations in the Dairy Industry. The alternating Nordic Dairy Technology Councils (Nordisk Mejeriteknisk Råd, NMR) has for almost 90 years arranged the Nordic Dairy Congresses, and they have always focused on being highly topical and actual in their choice of the congress themes. Having this in mind, the recent Congress Program Committee decided on the 2010 congress headline, as the high results and profits within the Nordic dairy industry is primarily provided by: New Technologies and Innovations.
What do you expect to gain by running the congress in English? During the past congresses we have noticed some difficulties for the translators, especially regarding the technology. Furthermore, our Nordic congress participants sometimes have difficulties reading and understanding their neighbouring Scandinavian languages. We have discussed the language question several times in NMR, and this year we decided to run the congress in English. By doing this, we can also invite lecturers and attendees from both inside and outside the Nordic countries.
20 professional presentations The congress includes 20 highly professional presentations. Which one is you especially looking forward to attend? My personal interest has always been within fresh dairy products, and therefore I am looking forward to attend the topics about enzyme technology. There is a special morning session at Saturday the 19th of June for that. If the practical hurry does not disturb me, I will attend there.

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2010
Participants from Europe From which countries and how many dairy people have you invited to join the congress? So far our main marketing has been targeted towards the Nordic countries, but we are continuously spreading our “message” and invitation to the rest of Europe. In late March we had mailed more than 10.000 congress brochures in the Nordic countries, and by now - in early April, we have established a databank containing more than 1200 specific e-mail addresses of which more than 400 are from outside the Nordic countries.
Up until now a little more than 100 dairy persons have signed-up for the congress. Our target is to reach a minimum of 200 participants, but I am optimistic to welcome more than 300. But, we urge all our Nordic dairy friends, colleagues and the congress sponsors to spread the invitation to join the Nordic Congress among their client groups.
The social program The Nordic Dairy Congresses include a broad and interesting social program, why do you find this so important? During the congress presentations, the participants are very busy. To offer enough time for networking and new contacts, the evening programs create a natural possibility for socializing, enjoy Finnish foods and also get a little taste of our culture. ■
More information on: www.nordiskmejerikongress.fi Kari Toikkanen, NMR president of the Nordic Congress 2008-2010, urge all dairy people from all over Europe to join the 42nd Nordic Dairy Congress in Finland 2010. You are very welcome to contact the president on e-mail: kari.toikkanen@ valio.fi for forwarding Congress Brochures or more information.

Milk & Dairies in the Nordic Countries By Anna Marie Thøgersen
The largest and the smallest There are huge differences between the sizes and market orientations of the Nordic dairies. On top of the scale we find Arla Foods, the regions absolute largest dairy possessing 6.3 billion kg of milk out of the total annual milk amount of 12 billion kg. Arla Foods is too, very export oriented and

The approx. 80 large and small Nordic dairies produce all kinds of dairy goods sold on the home markets as well as on several export markets. Yearly, the Nordic dairy farmers deliver almost 12 billion kg milk. This is a little more than the total milk amount produced in Italy, another great dairy-area.
markets more than half of the dairy products outside the Nordic Region. At the other end, we find one of the smallest a yet the largest and only dairy on the Faroe Islands, MBM (Meginfelag Búnaðarmanna). MBM has an annual milk intake of only 8 million kg, of which all are refined into fresh dairy products and exclu-

The Nordic giants The Danish-Swedish dairy giant, Arla Foods is by far the dominate in the Nordic region, as the 7.600 highly efficient co-operative dairy farmers and their company produces, manufactures and markets more than 50% of the milk available in the region. In the Nordic area, Arla Foods is present in Denmark and Sweden and in Finland as Arla Ingman. In Denmark the company has around 90% of the milk market. In Sweden and Finland the percentages are approx. 60% respectively 20%. Valio in Finland is the regions second largest dairy company having around 80% of the Finnish milk and the home market for dairy products. The yearly milk intake amounts 1.8 billion kg delivered by the company’s 10.000 primarily smaller family-run dairy farms. The TINE dairy in Norway is the absolute dominant company in the country, as TINE possesses 98% of the total milk production. The yearly milk amount delivered by the company’s 15.000 dairy farmers is almost 1.5 billion kg.

Medium-sized dairies In between the large and small Nordic dairies we find a handful of medium-sized dairy companies, primarily located in Sweden. To the far-south Skåne Dairy is dominate both on the Scanian home market and by now also exporting dairy goods to Denmark. Mid-Sweden we can characterize as Milko-land, as the country’s third largest dairy, Milko is dominant. To the North we find Norrmejerier producing and supplying the region with all kinds of dairy goods. Also in Island and Norway two medium-sized dairies are well-known; MS Iceland Dairies produces and supply the home market with all pos-
sible dairy products. Though buying the milk from Tine, the Norwegian dairy Synnøve Finden is an alternative manufacturer and supplier of especially cheeses on the home market.
“handmade” or directly-from-thefarm milk products. Due to the global financial crisis and the consumers more discount-oriented shopping, many of these small dairies face hard times, though. ■
Minor Nordic dairies A large number of small dairies, organized as private, co-operative or one-owner farm dairies are scattered all over the Nordic region. They offer alternatives to the consumers, as they manufacture a lot of special dairy goods, often telling good stories about the country life and the origin of the foods. These small dairies manufacture different niche-products such as organic, made from goat or sheep milk,

Dairy production Although in somewhat much smaller scale, the Norwegian dairy giant Tine roots back to year 1881, and thus the co-operative company can celebrate its 130 anniversary next year. The present 15.000 owners run dairy farms that typically average 20 milking cows, which total the annual milk volume of 1.457 million liters of milk, delivered to Tine last year. Today Tine BA is present all over the country and is organized within five regional companies covering the East, South, West, Middle and North regions of Norway. The Tine Regions run 44 production plants, five distribution terminals and eight plants producing other kinds of goods such as sea food, juice and fruit products and deserts.

Arla Foods’ yearly milk intake in Denmark is 4.2 billion kg and in Sweden 1.9 billion kg. The leading international Danish-Swedish company is owned by 3.800 milk farmers in Denmark and 3.800 in Sweden. The Danish milk farms have in average 125 milking cows, and in Sweden the average is half this number. In Denmark Arla runs approx. 26 processing plants situated all over the country. In Sweden the number is 15 dairies, located in the southern part of the country. Among the largest plants we find the relatively newly built Danish cheese factory in Taulov (producing 27.500 tons a year) and the Swedish milk powder plant in Vimmerby (yearly milk intake 380 million kg). After the Danish-Swedish dairy merger in 2000, Arla Foods tried to create a single culture in the company. But by now the company is trying to highlight the strengths of each country and the differences between Denmark and Sweden in terms of the company’s history, product range and culture.
Arla has some of the world’s bestknown dairy brands: Arla®, Castello®, and Lurpak® (The Lupak brand though, is owned by all Danish dairies). The three strategic brands are use as: Lurpak® for butter throughout the world, Castello® for specialty cheeses, and Arla® which covers the company and many other brands, including e.g. Apetina®, Ko®, Buko® and Kærgården®. Arla Foods priorities the areas of health, taste and organic products, and actually the company is the world’s largest supplier of organic dairy products, and the Harmonie® range includes almost 100 different organic products! Another focus area is developing powdered whey proteins, and Arla is a world leader within these special ingredients. Last year Arla opened a state-of-the-art new ingredient application centre, where customers are invited to co-operate.

In 2009 Arla Foods had a global net turnover at 46.2 billon DKK of which 20% was in Sweden and 19% in Denmark. Of the remaining 2009 turnover the Arla UK accounted for 26%. Other primary markets are Holland, Germany, Finland, USA, the Middle East and Asia. Arla Foods net turnover by product is in average: Fresh dairy products 44%, cheese 25%, butter and spread 13%, powders 12% and 6% within other products. Globally, Arla Foods has 16.200 employees, of which the Danish staff counts 7.600 and the Swedish 3.200. ■ AMT

Skåne Dairy in Sweden In 2009, Skåne Dairy, Sweden’s second largest dairy company achieved the best economic result for years: 3 billion SEK. In 2008 though, Skåne Dairy was facing economic de-route due to fierce competition on the home market. But Swedish consumers’ protests on facebook and export of Scanian dairy products to Denmark saved the company. Dairy production Skåne Dairy is an independent dairy company owned by 572 members in the Southern part of Sweden, Scania. The owners delivered 353 million kg milk in 2009. So, Skåne Dairy is a relatively large but still local milk producer with processing plants in Malmö, Kristianstad and Lunnarp. The company produces a complete palette of dairy products, among those the cheese brands Herrgård, Präst and Grevé, but also a wide
range of specialties. E.g. farm milk, lactose-free products, yoghurt with real vanilla, dessert cheeses from Stafva Herrgård, a new acidulated milk assortment, and the functional food ProViva in different flavors and variations. Also organic dairy products from the partly owned farm dairy, Hjordnära is promoted by the Scanian dairy.

MS Iceland Dairies MS Iceland Dairies (Mjólkursamsalan) is the dominant dairy in Iceland with approx. 90% of the 120 million kg milk produced in the country each year. The much smaller dairy Mjólkursamlag KS co-operates with MS to a certain extent. MS Iceland Dairies MS Iceland Dairies (Mjólkursamsalan) is a cooperative organization that includes more than 700 of Iceland’s family-run dairy farms. MS Iceland operates eight dairy plants situated throughout Iceland, and the company employs a staff of 450. The two main dairy plants within MS Iceland are located to the South in Selfoss and North in Akureyri.
The Icelandic dairies produce a very wide range of dairy products making the country self-sufficient within this food segment. One dairy product, “Skyr“, has even turned out to be a successful export product. (Photo: MS Iceland Dairies).
Dairy products The Icelandic dairies produce a broad and complete range of dairy products and in a variety hardly known in any other minor country. Just within cheese production some 100 varieties are produced, an incredible figure given that only a few dairies are responsible for their production, serving a market of only 285,000 people. MS Iceland Dairies centers on milk production and the making of high-quality skyr, cheeses, butter,
and other dairy products. Most of the dairy goods are consumed on the home market.
The world famous Skyr But one Icelandic product “Skyr“, has won good reputations and gained fine export rates in e.g. the USA and UK. Also in the other Scandinavian countries Skyr is known and welldemanded, as for instance the Danish dairies Thise and Norwegian Q-
Meierierne are producing Skyr on license from MS Iceland Dairies. Skyr (pronounced skeer) is a product unique to Iceland with a smooth, rich flavor and creamy thick texture. The product is low in fat, but high in calcium and protein content and thus attractive to all consumer segments - also within sports and healthiness. Skyr is produced as natural and with various kinds of fruits and berries. ■ AMT

Dramatic Time and Cost Savings Producer of the famous Norwegian cheese Jarlsberg almost triples its packaging capacity, thanks to a new automated line from Sealed Air Cryovac. By Helle Andersen, Communications Manager North & West, Sealed Air Denmark A/S
TINE BA, Norway’s largest producer, distributor and exporter of dairy products, has recently integrated a new Sealed Air packaging solution at its Elnesvågen plant. This has led to spectacular results in terms of packaging efficiency for the 6,000 tons of the famous Jarlsberg cheese produced at the plant each year. TINE Elnesvågen replaced one of its existing two Cryovac® packaging lines with the new Cryovac® L65 bag loader and VS96DC packaging machine with controlled vacuum. The new line has almost tripled capacity, from three to eight cheeses per minute. This meant that they could reduce the number of shifts from two to one, thus ensuring major time and cost savings.
Boosting capacity The new Cryovac® L65 bag loader runs alongside the old line, a tried
and trusted Cryovac® NS40 bag loader and vacuum machine and a ST12 shrink unit. The new solution offers a total capacity of 11-12 cheeses per minute, compared with six previously. The large 10 kg wheels of premium-quality Jarlsberg have been packaged in specially commissioned Cryovac® shrink bags since 1999 and TINE has been impressed with the bags’ ability to keep the cheese fresh for many months.
Distinctive branding A huge advantage of the Cryovac shrink bags is that the cheese no longer needs to be waxed - a feature the processors cutting up the cheese wheel had requested. It is however important to keep the distinctive bright Jarlsberg logo that was previously embedded in the waxing. The solution: coating the wheel with several layers of plastic, with a paper logo sandwiched in between. When the Cryovac shrink bag is removed and the wheel cut into up to 60 small units, the Jarlsberg logo is still clearly visible, a huge marketing plus.
Time-honoured traditions

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2010
Jarlsberg is named after the county where an earlier version of the cheese was made at the beginning of the 19th century. Its present incarnation is due to research by a team from the Agricultural University of Norway, back in 1956, on how to make a soft, medium-fat cheese with holes. This white cheese is loved the world over
- and not just for its holey appearance. Top-quality milk goes into a secret recipe to create a unique, sweet, slightly nutty-flavoured cheese, which is matured for months and turned by hand. TINE Elnesvågen, situated near the town of Molde in western Norway, is one of the bigger plants in the TINE group, with 70 employees and an annual turnover in 2009 of about 350 million NOK. The plant is specialized within four different types of Jarlsberg; 10 kg wheels for export, whey cheese, spicy white cheese and rindless Jarlsberg for pizzas.

Sustainable Solutions for Tomorrow’s Generations
By Svend Bøjgaard, Senior Process Engineer, Anhydro A/S
The success of many sustainable solutions depends on the product and the required capacity. Thus the potential savings of water, energy and chemicals varies from case to case. In general, however, savings between 20 and 30% can be expected, making a particularly positive impact on energy-intensive milk-based powder production. In special cases savings can be as much as 50% and on some of our current projects, total annual energy, water and chemical savings will exceed 1 million Euros. While investment payback times are typically short, ranging from six months to three years, some solutions may require a longer-term investment horizon of up to five years.
Cross-process savings Some of the solutions are based on what Anhydro calls cross-process energy, water and chemical savings. An example of this is using energy recovered from the evaporator at the CIP or dryer plants. As a result, Anhydro’s approach to sustainability is not limited to evaporation and drying processes. It also involves all related processes and utility connections as potential sources of improved sustainability.
Over the last three to four years, Anhydro has been focusing on developing sustainable solutions for tomorrow’s generations. Encompassing a number of sustainable solutions including pre-heating up-streams to the evaporator, evaporation processes and drying processes, this programme was introduced at the ANUGA fair in Cologne in March 2009. • All CIP plants in the factory • Pre-heat treatment for evaporators and dryers • Evaporators • Dehumidification in connection with drying air • Pre-heat treatment of drying air • Final heat treatment of drying air • Surplus water and energy for use in other parts of the processing plant • Energy and water recovery for infant formula mixing and pre heat treatment processes etc. In addition, Anhydro is working on reducing emissions such as powder product waste from the dryer exhaust, including process recycling of as much recovered product as possible.
Enhanced sustainability plants In addition to these process sustainability improvements, Anhydro is also developing a number of new processing lines requiring a lower total less energy consumption with correPermeate Process – Argentine Clarified, skimmed and Pasteurized whey Drying and Evaporation Ultrafiltration WPC

spondingly lower CO2 emission per kg of finished product. Some of these new processing lines will even require a lower capital investment, thus making them additionally attractive. Lower water and chemical consumption will also reduce wastewater load, thus further adding to savings potential.
Increased uptime, reduced costs One of the new sustainable plant solutions is the new permeate concentration process (evaporation), which has been installed on a project in Argentina. The new plant has increased processing time (up-time) on the evaporator by more than 1.000 hours/year while energy, water and CIP chemicals costs have been reduced by about 30%, leading to spinoff savings on wastewater treatment.
Tomorrow’s generations Sustainable solutions for tomorrow’s generations not only focus on general savings on all our processing plants. They also reflect Anhydro’s commitment as one of the main suppliers of infant formula production plants to limit consumption of raw materials and emissions in order to secure a sustainable future for the infants and children who consume the products made on our plants. Our first step was new, sustainable processing plants. Our next is to develop add-on solutions for existing plants, enabling these to be upgraded to meet tomorrow’s requirements and standards. ■ NR. 8

Thus, we have constructed various tankers for different milk volumes, as well as advanced or simpler IT-solutions for monitoring the milk collection. For the time being we are testing an easy operational milk collecting system based on the SMS system for a specific customer. This system includes all prescriptions regarding monitoring time and place of milk collection, samples for the farmer and
the dairy, measurements of the milk volume and the milk fat and protein content. Finally and by SMS, the driver sends the milk data receipts to both farmer and dairy. Recently, we have also designed a highly advanced milk collecting system, where the prescribed data as well as extras for e.g. communication and planning the milk-collecting route is included. This solution is based on the GPRS/3G transmission system. However, no matter advanced or simpler IT solutions, our service staffs easily connect to the customers’ data systems to detect, guide and solve the customers if they have any technical problems. VM Tarm Service Department is ready to help our customers around the clock.

IT superstructure The products always have an IT superstructure aspect of varying degrees of complexity. At the very least, all incorporate graphic label design and an order-handling program. All systems have IP connection to central PCs or are supplied with local weighing terminals. All requests for data exchange, databases, etc., are accommodated using local SQL databases.
Years of collaboration The company has been supplying weighing machines to the food industry since 1980. Much of this equipment has been supplied to Danish cheese dairies. Collaboration with Danish dairies has been very important to the business, as the dairy trade’s many customer requirements have helped to shape and develop our product range into what it is today. The first computer-based systems for weighing cheese were delivered to Skødstrup and Nr. Vium dairies, where the new technology brought major savings by means of automatically generated weighing lists, printouts of selfadhesive weighing labels, computer monitors with orderhandling programs, etc. Although the systems from those days are now pure nostalgia, and hopelessly out of date today, back then they were the start of many years of collaboration with the dairy trade. Many deliveries followed on in the intervening years. Many production sites have been closed down and some have become very large. The weighing systems that used to be so simple have now been replaced by large, complex, turnkey solutions, several with extensive IT superstructures, which are becoming an increasingly dominant aspect.
Dairy and food industry The company sells its production to all branches of the food industry. The fishing industry is particularly noteworthy, where our products are often used for labeling finished products in onshore factories as well as on trawlers. Some products are sold to Danish companies which incorporate our products into their own turnkey solutions for worldwide export. We have machines in installations from the far north of Norway to South Africa, from the Ukraine in the east to Belize in the west. ■
Flexiblity at your Service!
Complete weighing lines The company produces its own dispensing label printers, label dispensers, check-weighers, weighing lines for weighing and weight labeling, weighing terminals, interface units, etc. All products are specially manufactured for use in the food industry, corrosion resistant and with high capacity. Particularly notable is our latest generation of dispensing label printers, which is the only Danish-produced label printer on the market capable of handling up to 70 labels per minute with variable information and a resolution of 300 DPI. The complete weighing lines are usually custom built to suit an array of customer requirements. Weight labels on

Flexibility and Profitability Drives the Evolution generation reduces the need for oil and lubrication. By Frederik Wellendorph, Key Account Manager Denmark, A/S Tetra Pak
DfE: Design for Environment Modern dairies want to combine maximum production efficiency with minimum environmental impact. Tetra Pak focuses on environmentally efficient production solutions, in order to support customer needs. “Design for Environment” (DfE) is the practice of integrating environmental aspects into product design and development. DfE is applied in the design of components and modules - as well as complete production lines and plants, to minimise product losses and the use of water, energy and detergent. DfE also ensures that our equipment and production units do not contain or use any hazardous matter, diminishing the environmental impact of decommissioning.
Tetra Centri AirTight Eco Thus, for instance the innovations inside the new Tetra Centri AirTight Eco dairy separator boost operational efficiency, save on costs, reduce environmental impact and improve profits for dairy producers. The world’s most efficient separator drive, our new gearless direct eDrive, doubles the length of our customers’ intervals between major services. And the groundbreaking new eMotion system reduces the energy consumption of our customers’ overall separation system by up to 35%. Reducing energy consumption significantly shrinks your CO2 footprint. And lower heat

Tetra Therm Aseptic Visco Another example is Tetra Pak’s newly launched Tetra Therm Aseptic Visco unit, for high viscous and particulate products that cuts products losses by up to 50%, boosts production flexibility, and further maximizes food safety thanks to an innovative new heat exchanger. The Tetra Therm Aseptic Visco high pressure unit is a continuous food-processing unit that enables efficient high-capacity UHT treatment for high viscous soups and sauces, tomato pastes, custard desserts, fruit preparations, vegetable purees and baby food products. The capacity of this unit for high viscous products can run up to 18,000 liters/ hour and higher. The heart of the unit is equipped with a high-pressure-rated coil tubular heat exchanger, called Tetra Vertico, that handles pressures up to 350 bar and enables higher in-pipe velocity and lower system volumes - meaning it takes fewer liters to fill up the system, which translates into smaller mix zones (product/water), shorter change over times, faster start-up as well as lower losses and less waste.
The hygienic design of the new Tetra Therm Aseptic Visco unit maximizes food safety with the fewest possible welds and easy to clean surfaces. Advanced automation ensures total production control and full traceability, while reducing downtime and the risk of human error.
Tetra Pak Tetra Pak continuously evaluates novel technologies that may have an impact on the way dairy products are processed. In order for novel technologies to be accepted by the industry and consumers they must offer substantial values in terms of product quality or safety, operational cost or environmental impact. Operating in more than 190 markets with over 21,600 employees, Tetra Pak believes in responsible industry leadership, creating profitable growth in harmony with good corporate citizenship and a sustainable approach to business. We work closely with our suppliers and customers on preferred processing and packaging solutions to provide convenient, innovative and environmentally sound products to millions of people worldwide. ■

Drivers of the Dairy Industry By Helle Rexen, Communications Consultant, Chr. Hansen A/S
A key element in global ingredients supplier Chr. Hansen’s strategy is to continually enable customers to improve their business with new concepts adding value to the dairy products and processes, but also reducing contamination risk and optimizing food safety. We build long term strategic supplier relationships with our customers providing high added value products and essential technical ser vice. Innovative solutions which add health components or other valuable ingredients to yoghurt or cheese make the products more appealing to the consumers. An equally important option is to provide customers with new products and tools to optimize production processes by improving the yield of fermented milk products and/or reducing production costs.
Meeting market needs The concepts all meet market needs for increased profitability, consistency and control, and are the results of working partnerships with key customers and strategic partners. For instance we have developed a new generation of coagulants offering a number of major benefits like higher cheese yield, mild flavors and a longer shelf life under the name of CHY-MAX® M.
More of everything “Compared to existing coagulants CHY-MAX® M offers more of everything that is important for global cheese producers. The explanation is that the specificity of the enzyme for milk-clotting is at least five times

At the same time, CHY-MAX® M is the most costeffective choice among all coagulants due to the reduced dosage and increased yield”, explains David Stroo, Marketing Director, Enzymes, Chr. Hansen. CHY-MAX® M is suitable for all cheese types, and has already proven its excellent performance in continental, pasta filata and cheddar cheese types. CHY-MAX® M is now available for testing in Europe except for France and Denmark where approval is expected in early 2010.
global health trends and local requirements for taste and texture. The unique culture strains provide mild and tasty yoghurt allowing the producer to decrease the use of sugar.
Successful products Converting whey Another ground-breaking enzyme innovation from the strategic alliance between Chr. Hansen and Novozymes saw daylight in 2009. LactoYIELD™ is the name of the enzyme solution that can convert a cheap by-product, the whey, into dry matter to be used in cheese production. At this moment, LactoYIELD™ is developed for use in pizza cheese production. But in a long-term perspective, the value-adding conversion method opens up prospects for new applications.
Cost-reducing cultures Within yoghurt cultures, Chr. Hansen recently launched a new range of value-adding and cost-reducing YoFlex® cultures. The cultures meet

New: The KEOFITT© Aseptic Sampling Bag™ Identifying ten weak links in the sampling chain - and eliminating a few By Henrik Salomon, Managing Director, KEOFITT A/S
Don’t jeopardize sampling Does it make any sense to put so much emphasis on lab tests for quality control, HACCP and traceability, if the sample used is not representative in the first place? No! It would be like using inexpensive diesel fuel for an expensive jet engine. Sampling, too, is a chain of interdependent - and potentially weak - links that need our utmost attention. “The proper use of sanitary and sterile sampling equipment is the precondition for true sample testing”. This general guide-line and statement (often referred to in ISO standards etc.) is not operational at all. We need to be more specific and break the sampling chain down into links. You might say that identifying the location of the sampling points is Link no. 1. Link no. 2 would be selecting the appropriate and proven sampling equipment. No. 3 is the physical installation of the sampling device while no. 4 is the maintenance of the sampling equipment. These first initial steps constitute the primary links in our sampling chain.
Poor sampling and, consequently, false conclusions can often be derived from link no. 2, 3, and 4.
All the way Identification of these first weak links has driven the success and development of the original KEOFITT sampling valves for more than 30 years. More than 150.000 valves are in operation. Whether steam-sterilisable (SIP), sanitary (CIP) or double-seat, KEOFITT offers the world’s biggest sampling valve range facilitating the correct selection, installation and maintenance for any application. But watch out for copies! So does that mean the sampling chain is secure now, provided you use KEOFITT sampling valves? No, not necessarily. The chain goes on with link no. 5 being the standard operating procedure for sampling. Link no. 6 is the education and instruction of the sampling equipment operators. Receiving the sample is no. 7 and containing it no. 8. Link no. 9 is the transport of the sample to the laboratory for test-
ing. The final link is the quality control of the quality control, i.e. the capacity to not only focus on testing procedures, but constantly question the sampling equipment, the sampling procedures and their execution. This completes the loop of weak links.
Aseptic Sampling Bag The new KEOFITT Aseptic Sampling Bag (pat.pend) is the best way to address the weak links 7, 8 and 9: Receiving, containing and transporting the sample. It is a pre-sterilised and tamperproof disposable plastic bag system designed to be connected via quick-fittings or mini-clamps to sampling valves of all styles and brands including KEOFITT. An integrated and patented 3-way valve enables the operator to sterilize the connection to the bag before opening it, thus eliminating the risk of airborne contamination of the sample. Extremely easy to use, this new and unique product also serves the need for transport and any subsequent sampling. More information on www.keofitt.com ■

LeanCreme™ plant
Puts Excess Whey to Profitable Use By Berit Skindersoe, Global Technology Sales Manager for Membrane & Microparticulation
The innovative APV LeanCreme™ Process solution enabled MS Iceland Dairies to increase its cheese yield by 8% and reduce wastewater COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) by 85%, realising a payback time of just 2 years.
When it comes to adding value for customers, SPX Flow Technology (SPX FT) looks beyond tomorrow to supply innovative technological solutions that maximise added value over a period of many years.
The answer was the APV LeanCreme™ Process combined with a Reverse Osmosis plant to treat the excess UF-Permeate and obtain water clean enough for use as flushing water during CIP and for safe disposal.
From waste to value
Customisable for low-fat dairy products
Like many other dairies around the world, MS Iceland Dairies in Akureyri, Iceland, was concerned about the environmental impact of its excess whey. The modern and innovative dairy asked SPX FT to suggest a more profitable treatment option to handle excess whey which would result in reduced volumes and have a lower environmental impact. SPX FT proposed a new application for processing excess whey into a valuable ingredient that could be used in existing production to make low-fat versions of its current products with the same taste and mouth feel.
The APV LeanCreme™ Process is based on the APV Shear Agglomerator. This is a groundbreaking technology employing simultaneous heat denaturation of the protein and controlled high shear to form micro protein particles with a customised particle size distribution. This synergy between heat and shear brings a new functional dimension to whey protein concentrates, resulting in LeanCreme™. LeanCreme™ is ideal as a starting ingredient for a wide range of innovative products such as low-fat cheeses, fermented milk products, ice

creams, desserts and fermented milk products. MS Iceland Dairies quickly saw a match between the APV LeanCreme™ Process and their own requirements and the new plant started production in June, 2007. The initial result was a significant increase in cheese yield as well as an 85% reduction in the chemical oxygen demand in the wastewater. The dairy soon realised that the plant would pay for itself in just 2 years.
Higher flexibility, higher yield Today MS Iceland Dairies in Akureyri uses LeanCreme™ for many different products. Production of Gouda cheeses containing LeanCreme™ has experienced an 8% increase in cheese yield, a significant contribution to the bottom line. LeanCreme™ has also APV’s LeanCreme plant.

Going Green Reuse of Water with the BacTerminator® DSS presents a brand new cleantech solution for the dairy & cheese industry - the BacTerminator® developed by the company Adept Water Technologies.
By Freddie D. Lauridsen, Area Sales Manager, DSS Silkeborg AS
Reuse of water Reuse of water is an intelligent way to save water and reduce cost. The general aim of the dairy industry is to minimize the overall water consumption and effluent discharged into the sewer system, thereby reducing the environmental impact. The constantly increasing water prices and effluent charges have moved the focal point from end-ofpipe treatment to prevention of pollution. To stay competitive it is therefore essential to find sustainable solutions that enable the industry to reuse as much water as possible. The BacTerminator® offers this opportunity as it eliminates all microorganisms, both bacteria, yeast and mould from dairy process water, allowing it to be reused for many different applications, e.g.: • Improvement of tap water used in production • In the “after-warming” process of manufacturing yellow and cottage cheeses • Reuse of CIP water • Continuous disinfection of ice water system for cooling Laboratory (Eurofins)
• Water used for cottage and fresh cheese • Disinfection of water used for cooling of cheese before brining • Disinfection of water used for brining of cheese • Disinfection of evaporator condensate • Disinfection of RO permeate
Cheese dairies using double membrane filtration of the whey end up with RO permeate, which is a byproduct with a minimal COD but often considerably microbial contaminated, if not used immediately. Some dairies reuse the RO permeate for cheese cooling water and the rest is discharged. Some dairies reuse the RO permeate for cooling towers as well. In general there is always a surplus of RO permeate, which is typically imposed with a levy when discharged. When BacTerminator® treats/recirculates the RO permeate it becomes practically free from microorganisms and can be reused for a number of purposes, saving the dairy the annual discharge of the RO permeate.
DSS Silkeborg AS, Denmark, one of the largest suppliers for membrane solutions for the dairy industry worldwide, is co-operating with Adept Water Technologies to distribute and service BacTerminator® systems for all dairy applications, with exclusivity for RO permeate applications. DSS has supplied more than 500 membrane filtration systems to the dairy industry and has a strong and technology driven sales and service force around the world. With the BacTerminator® system DSS can provide its customers with a new solution for effective killing of microorganisms in process water, so it may be reused with large, potential savings. ■

Four new DanaKeep specifications have been carefully adjusted to the various curing processes of the cheese and have excellent machine ability and slip against the cheese. DanaKeep 02-04 for blue - and white moulded cheese as well as red moulded (rødkit) have been developed with a polymer on the inside which assures optimum humidity around the cheese throughout the curing and at the same time limits the development of the mould on the surface of the cheese. This kind of packaging prolongs the shelf life of the cheese, the packaging is easy to reclose and can be cut without remains on the cutting edge. DanaKeep 02-05 for cheese such as brie and camembert is constructed with a semi permeable polymer against the cheese which ensures that the packaging gives the cheese ideal conditions of development of white
mould on the surface. By using this packaging a prolonged shelf life of the cheese is also achieved, together with an easy re-close, and cutting without remains on the cutting edge. DanaKeep 02-06 for cheese which have high demands for allowing the cheese to breathe through the perforation but at the same time ensuring the right humidity around the cheese. Through this the optimum conditions of the development of the perfect mould is achieved and the risk of ruin to the surface mould is removed. This specification can also be delivered with biodegradable materials.

A Leading Consulting Group
COWI is a leading Northern European consulting group. We provide state-of-the-art services within the fields of engineering, environmental science and economics with due consideration for the environment and society. COWI is a leader within its fields because COWI’s 6,000 employees are leaders within theirs.
By John Sørensen, Senior Project Manager, Water and Wastewater, COWI
Handling of dairy wastewater Formerly dairies used to produce nearly all kinds of milk products, which is quite different from today where dairies are much more specialized and produce only one kind of product, e.g. yellow cheese, blue
36
MÆLKERITIDENDE 2010
cheese or butter. As dairies are getting bigger and bigger, the correct and most optimal way of handling wastewater attracts more and more attention. Some dairies discharge their wastewater to a municipal wastewater treatment plant, WWTP, and pay for the treatment. However, an increasing number of dairies in Denmark have found that it is more advantageous to establish their own treatment plants to treat the wastewater from their dairies themselves. COWI has been involved in many wastewater treatment projects at dair-
ies in Denmark and knows from experience that it is not difficult to handle wastewater from dairies. There are two reasons for the conclusion above. One is that the temperature of the wastewater is at least 25°C, which benefits the biological processes. Another is that the composition of the wastewater facilitates the nitrogen and phosphorous removal efficiently.
Simple wastewater treatment The design of WWTPs at dairies can be based on the activated sludge process and be kept simple. Nor-
NR. 8
mally, a WWTP includes a balance/ emergency tank, a process tank for the biological treatment and a clarifier to separate the cleaned wastewater from the activated sludge. The balance/emergency tank is essential for the stable operation of a treatment plant, as the balance/emergency tank reduces load variations in the biological tanks. The balance/ emergency tank is also able to handle milk spills to avoid that such spills increase the load at the treatment plant significantly. 1 m3 milk may give a load of some 3,000 PE (Person Equivalent corresponding to the pollution from 3,000 persons/day) at a treatment plant. A spill normally uses up all the oxygen and reduces the efficiency of the treatment plant. However, the spill problem can be handled effectively at the dairy if more attention is paid to the subject in dayto-day operations. Modern dairies are operated using BAT technologies (Best Availa-
ble Technology). BAT technologies focus on good housekeeping, water consumption, energy consumption, use of chemicals etc. The efficiency of BAT technologies is evaluated by using key figures where consumption is related to production, e.g. kWh/ton product or m3 water/ton milk produced.
Obvious benefits Of course industrial WWTPs encounter problems from time to time. The most common problem is growth of filamentous bacteria in the activated sludge. These bacteria make it difficult to separate the treated wastewater from the activated sludge. This kind of problem requires special knowledge about bacteria and experience with waste water treatment in order to reduce the problems from bacteria. COWI has solved these problems in many projects for different clients through its experience and expertise.
The benefits of private treatment plants at dairies are obvious: • The environmental impact from a treatment plant at a dairy is much less than that from a public treatment plant of the same size • The dairy will save money if wastewater is treated at its own treatment plant • The dairy will have a stable price for treating wastewater at its own treatment plant • The dairy will be able to own and operate the treatment plant independently without any interference. Even if there might be difficulties obtaining permissions to build a private treatment plant it is worthwhile to give it a try. Although a treatment plant requires investments and operation costs, there will be significant savings for the dairy in most cases. And in addition, the environment will benefit from such a project. ■

Innovation and German Quality
FOODLINER 20.000 with low level feed magazine.
GRUNWALD GMBH was founded in 1956 and is among Germany’s most reputable manufacturers of cup filling and closing machines for the dairy and food industry. By Peter Aalund, GRUNWALD NORDIC
Project Management Every project is tailor made regardless of whether it is cup filling machines for 2000 or 30.000 cups/h. Each project is handled by our project managers in close contact with the appointed customer representative. All projects, large or small, will be pre-tested (FAT) at the Grunwald factory together with our customer’s engineers. Normally these pre-acceptance tests also involve training of key operational personnel and maintenance staff to ensure a swift and trouble-free commissioning period. The multi-skilled Grunwald commissioning team is highly flexible to further smooth the installation process.
duction. OEE Interface provides a lot more functionality than just historical and real-time OEE reporting. It also provides complete reporting of downtime, type of failure, shift performance etc. This is a great tool to achieve more efficient and productive day-to-day manufacturing.
Projects within the Nordic Area For several years Grunwald have been supplying machines for the Nordic market to customers as Arla Foods, Norrmejerier, Tine and Unilever. Over the past few years the Finnish market has also been growing substantially, mainly in the dairy industry. Within the last three years Grunwald have supplied three large linear FOODLINER cup filling machines for
filling processed cheese, quark and butter blends to Valio Oy. The last two machines were delivered as twin-format machines, which can achieve semi-automatic, fast format changes within 10-12 min. The GRUNWALD-FOODLINER for Valio Oy, was also equipped with: • HEPA filtered laminar air cabin • Double format machine for two different cup formats • Fully servo driven machine with ELAU drives and controllers • Ergonomic extended low-level feed cup storage magazine • EASY CLEAN (EHEDG certificate) fully CIP cleanable, servo-driven filling system • Fill weight feedback from external check-weigher • Foil sealing with pre-cut lids • Snap-on lid dispenser
Innovation Innovation is a large part of the Grunwald strategy as only by using the latest technology it is possible to create the most efficient machines available. As the current troubled economic aspect has impacted all of our customers, Grunwald is very focussed on cost savings, such as minimising down time on machines and short change over times for product change-over. Many of our new installations also include OEE Interface Equipment, which is specifically designed to provide a cost effective solution for tracking and reporting machine pro-

During the company’s first three decades Grunwald operated only as a sales company, with agencies in several major European equipment manufacturers such as APV. In 1978 the founder died and his partner, Edwin Müller, became and is
the current owner of Grunwald. Edwin Müller and his two sons, Armin and Ralf, today operate the family business under the well-established Grunwald name. In 1989 Edwin Muller turned the company into a specialist and manufacturer of dosing/filling/sealing machines for dairy and other food products. Furthermore in 1999 Grunwald took over the Swiss company Hittpac. Thus, during the last two decades Grunwald has been a major market player offering dosing equipment, rotary and linear filling machines and stand-alone filling /closing equipment for products in cups, buckets and bottles. All types of equipment form the basis of our customers’ wishes for individual system solutions. Today, Gruwald employs a staff of 110, with a Nordic sales office in Denmark and sales agencies in more than 50 countries, including the UK and The Netherlands. ■

eral successful standard-concepts. An example is the newly developed “Bila Milk Packer” which is a combined robot cell for fast and efficient packing of milk cartons in either plastic boxes or containers. This cell can handle up to 9.600 milk cartons per hour.
Masterplan as a tool The customers are looking for one supplier that is able to offer them overall solutions - solutions that lead to a significant higher productivity and efficiency and also improvement of their bottom line. This is where we can benefit from our many years of experience within the dairy sector. But the key to success also lies within the close co-operation with our customers and the tools we use to optimize the course of events.
Co-operation with the customer When we start co-operating with a customer we do not only see him as a customer - but as a strategic partner. This kind of co-operation is important in order for us to be able to develop present and future projects. ”With a close dialog and control throughout the entire project - both internally at Bila A/S but also with the customer - the risk of misunderstandings is minimized”, says managing Director Jan B. Sørensen. Through co-operation with our strategic partners we have developed sev-

In order to find the best solution for our customers we use Masterplan as a tool. Based on the questions in the Masterplan, the manufacturing process from beginning to end is examined and the various issues are noted. This way we gain insight into ways of increasing the efficiency through automation and ways of protecting employees from monotonous work. Already after the first visit, we are able to draw up the budget for potential suggestions for solutions based on the Masterplan.
Constant developement To follow the tendencies within the dairy sector and at the same time be at the forefront of the development, we keep a constant focus on the development of new automation solutions. We use almost 10.000 hours every year for development. ”With our huge focus on development, our employees are perfected and at the same time, we are able to act very quickly to changes in the market and in the needs of the customers”, says Chief of Development, Frank Gade.
Automation at smaller companies At the cooperative Them Dairy in Denmark, the question was not whether to get a robot cell, but how quickly they could get it. With an increased demand from the market, the need for enlargement of the capacity arose at the dairy. The solution was at the same time going to release the employees of the daily heavy and monotonous work. A manual job that included lifting and carrying cheeses from a conveyor belt and into plastic boxes placed on pallets, which also had to be moved on a regular basis. ”Due to increasing market demands we had the need for transferring employees to other job functions within the dairy. We never meant to cut down when getting the robot cell. We have good stable employees, which we want to offer interesting jobs, and that’s why installation of the robot plant was evident”, says Them’s Dairy Manager, Svend Andersen. Bila A/S was chosen as the supplier for this project, as the dairy’s board of directors had previous and very good experiences with Bila A/S’s robot plants. Due to this confidence and sense of security regarding our expertise and know-how, Bila A/S became the supplier. The solution was a palletizing plant with a Kawasaki ZD130 robot. After the paraffin plant, the cheeses are transported to the next station to be

packed in shrink film. Thereafter the cheeses are forwarded on the conveyor belt to the robot that packs the products into plastic boxes. The tools of the robot are constructed for gentle handling of the cheeses, so no holes are made in the shrink film or in the paraffin surface. The tool is at the same time used to palletize the plastic boxes after they have been filled. The amount of money used for the palletizing plant will be gained over a period of only three years, and at the same time Them Dairy is saving the labour costs. ■

Verdenspremiere på Thises ”Vesterhavsyoghurt” Thise Mejeri havde verdenspremiere på sin helt nye ”Vesterhavsyoghurt” den 16. april på Købmandsgården i Fjaltring, hvor mejeriet serverede ”Vesterhavsyoghurt” ad libitum sammen med smagsprøver af ”Vesterhavsosten”. Fjaltring Købmandsgård er næsten nabo til Vesterhavet og ligger tæt på Thises Bovbjerglager, hvor Vesterhavsostene lagres. Fjaltring har været en af de helst store sælgere af Thises ost, og netop derfor var Købmandsgården valgt til at være premierestedet - forud for lanceringen af ”Vesterhavsyoghurten” i resten af landet her i uge 16. ”Vesterhavsyoghurten” er baseret på mælk fra økologiske Thise leverandører i Vestjylland. Yoghurten er tilsat økologisk hyben og havtorn, der giver den en frisk syrlig smag - og samtidig er fyldt med antioxidanter og vitaminer. (Foto: Thise Mejeri).
Ups, det var en græker! Lindahls ”Tyrkiske Yoghurt” bliver solgt med et emballagebillede af en ”tyrkisk” mand med et stort overskæg og klædt i nationaldragt. Men manden er græker, og han optræder helt ufrivilligt på det svenske mejeris yoghurtprodukt. Det var en af mandens venner, bosiddende i Stockholm, som genkendte mandens ansigt på mejeriemballagen. Den græske model sagsøger nu det svenske mejeri og forklarer i sit søgsmål, at han er endt ufrivilligt på produkterne, fordi han kan lide at gå klædt i kostumer og nogle gange lader sig fotografere af turister - men kun til privat brug. Grækerens søgsmål er på 50 mio. svenske kr., skriver aftonbladet.se. På Lindahls er de meget overraskede over sagen, da de har købt billedet fra et billedagentur. Det svenske mejeri overgiver nu sagen til virksomhedens advokat. Lindahls Mejeri, som netop er blevet store på nicheproduktet ”Tyrkisk Yoghurt” i Sverige, ser i øvrigt på muligheden for ekspansion i Norge og Finland og annoncerer p.t. efter ledere til ønskede datterselskaber i de to nabolande. Målet er sat højt, da virksomheden forventer en omsætning i 2012 på 100 mio. SEK i Finland og 50 mio. SEK i Norge. I 2009 havde Lindahls en omsætning på 300 mio. SEK. (Foto Lindahls).

Mælkeprisen i Frankrig Mælkeprisen i Frankrig skal stige 5-6% over de næste måneder, mener landets landbrugsminister og mælkeproducenterne. Men Frankrigs største mejerikoncern Lactalis vil kun aftale en prisstigning for april måned, begrundet i at mælkeprisen i Tyskland er 15% lavere end i Frankrig. Men nu truer de ansvarlige politikere med, at en række offentlige tilskud på 3,7 mia. kr. bliver trukket væk uden en aftale. Lactalis har en årlig omsætning på næsten 65 mia. kr. og er tredjestørst i verden. Den samlede indvejning er på 9,2 mia. kg mælk, og der er 32.000 ansatte.
Glanbia bliver andelsmejeri Det irske mejeriselskab Glanbia A/S vil sælge sine mejerianlæg til leverandørernes andelsselskab.

Det resterende aktieejede Glanbia vil fremover i stedet satse på sin oste- og ingrediensvirksomhed i USA og andre lande. En eventuel handel skal både godkendes af leverandørerne og af Glanbias aktionærer. Meddelelsen om forhandlingerne kom samtidig med, at Glanbia offentliggjorde resultatet for 2009, der viste et fald i overskuddet før skat på 19%.

Kort fortalt Flot resultat hos Nordmilch Tysklands største mejeriselskab, Nordmilch fik i 2009 et overskud på godt 216 mio.kr. I løbet af 2009 har Nordmilch reduceret antallet af anlæg fra 24 til 11 og antallet af ansatte fra over 4.000 til 2.500. Sortimentet er desuden reduceret fra 4.500 mærker til 1.500, skriver Landbrugsavisen. Nordmilch har også indgået et samarbejde med nordtyske, Humana Milchindustrie, og det kan føre til en fremtidig fusion.
Arla hæver leverandørprisen
Nestlé udvikler til familiehygge
Optur for den amerikanske dollar og det britiske pund samt udsigt til et forbedret marked for mælkepulver gør, at Arla Foods hæver afregningen til andelshaverne med 7,5 danske øre fra 3. maj 2010. Arla-noteringen bliver dermed 216,8 øre/kg for konventionel mælk og 274,7 øre/kg for økologisk mælk.
Nestlé vil sikre sig en endnu højere vækst efter krisen ved at udvikle nye produkter med fokus på det nære. Nestlés topchef Paul Bulcke udtaler til dagbladet til Børsen. - Tiden er til at slå mere på familieværdier og lykke. God kaffe, god is, gode måltider bringer familien tættere sammen, og her er der stor vækst at hente. Hvis forbrugerne bare bruger én procent mere af deres husholdningsbudget på fødevarer, er det alene 10% vækst til kategorien. Nestlé investerer i år cirka 10,5 mia. kr. i forskning og udvikling af nye produkter og varianter, som på et senere tidspunkt skal sikre vækst i Nestlé. Koncernen satser også på langsigtede trends som sundhed og ernæring. (Modelfoto Colourbox).
Arla ændrer leveranceregler i Sverige Arlas svenske leverandører har hidtil haft en regel om, at de skulle levere mindst 80% af deres mælk til Arla. Reglen kan imidlertid ifølge EU’s konkurrenceregler være udtryk for misbrug af en dominerende position på markedet. Og det er nu fastslået af det svenske Konkurrensverket, der derfor vil give Arla en bødestraf på 750.000 kroner, hvis ikke reglerne laves om. Arla er i gang med at lave om på vedtægterne, så alle medlemmer har ret til at levere op til 50% af deres mælk til andre mejerier. (Foto Arla Foods).
Fedtskat udskudt igen Regeringen har endnu engang måttet udskyde fremsættelsen af lovforslaget om en ny afgift på mættet fedt, den såkaldte fedtskat. Det skriver Altinget. Regeringen blev dermed ikke som planlagt klar med et lovforslag inden påske. Fedtskatten afventer fortsat en godkendelse fra EU Kommissionen. I Skatteministeriet håber man, at de nye skatter kan vedtages inden sommerferien. Dermed vil skatten være mindst et halvt år forsinket i forhold til den oprindelige plan i skattereformen.

Prishop for mælkepulver Prisen på mælkepulver på det newzealandske mejeriselskab Fonterras internetauktion for april måned steg drastisk med 23,2%. Auktionen er en indikator for prisniveauet på pulver på verdensplan. Gennemsnitsprisen nåede op på 3.969 US dollars pr. ton for sødmælkspulver, og det var 688 US dollars mere end i marts. Prisen på skummetmælkspulver steg med 25,5%.
Flotte tal hos UK mejerier Arlas to store konkurrenter i England, Robert Wiseman Dairies og Dairy Crest, forventer at komme ud af 2009/2010 med stærke regnskaber, oplyser selskaberne selv her kort tid før deres regnskaber er klar. Wiseman Dairies har øget salget af mælk med 11%, og mejerikoncernen har desuden store forventninger til investeringerne i et nyt mejerianlæg, Bridgewater. Hos Dairy Crest er gælden reduceret med 65 mio. pund, og virksomhedens position på markedet er meget bedre end for et år siden. Det går også godt for Arla UK, der tegner sig for 26% af Arlas samlede omsætning, og det er bl.a. i kraft af mærke-

varerne Lurpak, Cravendale og Anchor. Arlas udmelding om et nyt mejeri med en kapacitet på 1 mia. kg har sendt klare signaler til hele industrien om, at Arla Foods følger vækst-strategien. Det oplyste chef for Arla i UK, Peter Lauritzen i forbindelse med Arlas årsregnskab, der blev offentliggjort for få uger siden.
Milko omorganiserer Den svenske mejerikoncern Milko omorganiserer for at effektivisere ledelsesstrukturen, skriver foodwire.se. Mejeriets nye topchef Göran Henriksson ønsker med ændringen at øge Milkos konkurrencekraft og komme tættere på forbrugerne. Det indebærer bl.a., at ledelsesgruppen flytter til hovedkontoret i Östersund, og at afdelingerne for kommunikation, medlemmer, markedet og udvikling slås sammen i én. Desuden overtager Göran Henriksson ledelsen af datterselskabet Fjällbrynt AB, hvor den hidtidige direktør fratrådte i februar.
Mælkekartonen taler til mobilen Arla er gået sammen med Alexandra Instituttet og Teater Katapult om at teste en ny kommunikationsteknologi, der fungerer via forbrugerens mobiltelefon og 2D stregkoder på bl.a. mælkekartonerne. Teknologien kan sætte nye standarder for Arlas dialog med forbrugerne. Den nye teknologi blev testet for første gang på Økodagen den 18. april, hvor de interaktive fortællinger i ”Økofonen”, blev aktiveret forskellige steder på Arlas besøgsgårde via særlige 2D stregkoder. Forbrugere, som ikke deltog på Økodagen, har mulighed for at opleve lyttespillet på arla.dk. Efter den 18. april vil Arla bruge Økofonen til skoleklasser. (Foto Arla Foods).
