Adding Value – The 44th Nordic Dairy Congress

By Søren Steen Jensen

It is with great pleasure I welcome you to participate in what we anticipate to become an innovative and insightful journey through the state of the art within dairy with a focus on ADDING VALUE. Adding Value must be understood as adding value to the entire value chain: to consumers, environment and dairy plants as well as producers.

The 44th Nordic Dairy Congress brings together prominent speakers from around the world within the areas of Green Solutions, Søren Steen Jensen, Chairman of Healthy Dairy Products, Improving Efficiency the Board Nordic Dairy Council and All-Time High Food Safety from both the academic world as well as the industry. Furthermore, it is great honour for us to introduce our keynote speaker Peder Tuborgh, who is the CEO of Arla Foods amba. The programme has been designed with an international approach ensuring a global outreach, which is stressed with the conference language entirely in English. As a new input, we have invited 12 researchers to present their work in flash-talks and the conference finalizes with a panel debate of specially invited and eloquent speakers who bring perspective to the newly achieved knowledge.

At this time, only ten days before the deadline for registration, we are close to be fully booked, which we are very happy about. This also means that sponsors will get full credit for their sponsorships, and I would like to extend a personal ‘thank you’ to all conference sponsors for your strong support!

The conference will take place in the very heart of Copenhagen in an ancient building that is also host to the Danish Agriculture & Food Council. We are very excited to share Adding Value to dairy with you and we have made sure to add extra value to the conference with delightful sightseeing through the canals of Copenhagen and evening events of atmosphere for networking and reconnection with likeminded passionate dairy fellows. Again: very welcome! ■

Nordic Dairy Congress – hot spots The 44th Nordic Dairy Congress is much more than highly qualified lectures and insights into dairy innovations and trends. It is also a unique opportunity of connecting and reconnecting with other people who also passion dairy – and maybe do some tourism. The Congress organizers have hence put together some extra events and settings to encourage participants to add value to their experience tailoring their own unique trip. Here are a few hot spots.

NORDIC DAIRY INDUSTRY – stability in storms Four years have passed since the last Nordic Dairy Congress. A period to be characterized in two words as regards the dairy sector – stability and storm at the same time.

By Lars Winther

Since the latest Nordic Dairy Congress was held in Lofoten in 2013, the dairy sector in the five Nordic countries has faced a new exciting reality and several new challenges.

In some contexts, the dairy sector experienced brutal changes and storms.

Especially 2016 hit hard. After the abolition of the milk quota system in the European Union in 2015, the world market reacted on a growing milk production, sending the milk prices under massive pressure. The structural changes among farmers accelerated the closing down of thousands of dairy farms all over Europe – as well as in the Nordic countries.

Nonetheless, the Nordic dairy companies managed to steer through the storm, proving to be more or less solid.

This is a sign of stability. Two mergers (Fallkøping Mejeri/Grådö and Naturmælk/Øllingegaard) took place, but no bigger companies were bound to shut down. In the same way the sector has managed to respond to a challengingworld market through innovation and higher efficiency in the production.

Similar conditions Despite the different EU-statuses with Denmark, Finland and Sweden as members of the EU and Norway and Iceland outside the Union (both members of the EEA), the Nordic countries are facing common conditions in many aspects.

First of all, they are dominated by one big, international company. These companies have a strong and solid domestic market – mainly based on fresh products with drinking milk as the very basic commodity.

Table 1: List of biggest Nordic Dairies ranked in relation to yearly milk amount. The figures are based on direct interviews or annual reports from 2016. The list and ranking is more or less identical to the list brought by Mælkeritidende in 2013 (no 8). Most dairies have expanded with more milk with exception ofa few among the bigger companies such as Arla Foods in Sweden and Tine in Norway. * Arla Denmark - staff at headquarter included. ** Arla Ingman including 12 co-operating dairies.

NR. 9 *** Synnøve buys milk from TINE.

Arla Foods processes 55 pct. of the milk in (including Arla Ingman i Finland).

All countries have high standards for hygiene – controlled by efficient public controls. Similar consumer trends are detected with drinking milk being less popular, though still among the highest pr. capita in the world. At the same time, the demand for cheese, yoghurt and other fermented products is increasing.

Furthermore, the Nordic countries keep getting more integrated in each other’s markets. Export and import between the countries is growing every year, and the dairies seem to inspire each other with new products in several categories. Skyr, new cheeses and lactose free products are just a few examples. These closer relations are also detectable at the yearly International Food Contest in Herning, which attracts more and more dairies from all of the Nordic countries.

Differences among countries On the other side, huge differences are detected in the countries due to different trends and conditions related to different structures, traditions and history.

NR. 9

Denmark’s farmers are among the biggest in Europe – though many of these carrying heavy debts, which partly explains, that among 10 pct. of the dairy farmers stop production every year.

Some of these on own initiative,others due to bankruptcy. Anyhow, the production keeps growing every year after the abolition of the milk quota system with a growth of 2 pct. from 2015 to 2016.

Sweden is also experiencing a similar trend among dairy farmers, but in contrast to Denmark the total production keeps falling every year. From 2015 to 2016 the reduction was 2 pct.

Finland still manages to deliver one of the highest milk prices in the EU – about 15-20 pct. higher than the aver-

age, although market leader Valio is severely hit by the Russian embargo of EU dairy products. As a consequence, the Fins also experienced a tough development with many farms shutting down the latest years.

Norway is still benefitting from a large governmental support, which makes it profitable to run dairy farms in scarcely populated areas with few cattle. However, the Norwegians start experiencing tough times with less governmental support for exports, resulting in a reduction of farms of almost 1.000 last year.

Iceland stay strong at its domestic market for the dominating MS Iceland Dairy. ■

Arla Foods – from Bulk to Brand In an extremely volatile milk market Arla Foods amba managed to stay strong throughout 2016. One of the main strategies being to improve the quality of its sales by moving more milk from bulk to brands. In fact, the increase of market share pertaining brands increased with almost two percent to 44.5 percent compared to 2015. Arla’s global turnover in 2016 was 9,570 million euro.

By Isabel Sande Frandsen, Mælkeritidende

When it comes to milk intake, Arla is ranked fourth in the world, still having processing capacity and logistic solutions to handle more milk than the owners are supplying. Due to the unstable market, milk intake decreased in the second half of 2016. However, Arla expects to see an increase in milk volumes from owners in all countries in the years to come.

Strong brands and consumer trends Arla’s key brands are Arla®, Lurpak® and Castello®. In Europe, especially the Arla® branded skyr and protein

products are experiencing an increase in market share. In the Middle East and North Africa, Puck® portfolio has been really successful, especially with its jar cheese, which is now the leading brand of its kind in the region. Following is an overview of the performance of the four key brands.

• Arla® increased 4.5 percent compared to 2.5 percent in 2015 • Lurpak® increased 7.7 percent compared to 6.1 in 2015 • Castello® increased 3.0 percent compared to 0.1 in 2015 • Puck® increased 10.6 percent compared to 9.9 in 2015

Arla is continuously responding to consumer trends for natural and healthy products, which is considered one of four major consumer trends, targeted by Arla. The three other consumer trends are increasing demands for premium products, such as Arla Unika, consumers’ increasing awareness and interest in environmental friendly products and animal welfare, and then the on-the-go consumer trend, that demands well tasting and healthy products ready to go.

Arla Denmark’s priorities As regards animal welfare and organic products, Arla introduced in 2016, an extra payment of one euro-cent per kg milk to farmers that switch to nongenetically modified feed. This is one example of Arla’s wish to perform even better on this area in alignment with its Strategy ‘Good Growth 2020’. Jakob Bernhard Knudsen who is the Market

NR. 9

Head of Arla Denmark explains that Arla Denmark has identified 10 major commercial targets aligned with Europe’s priorities. See figure 1.

Many of these priorities have already been executed, as is the launch of Arla’s new organic ice cream ‘Arla Øko’. On its way is a range of fresh soups and ‘Arla Øko Cool Milk’, which is expected to hit the market in September 2017.

In the making As regards Arla’s expectations for the years to come good growth is key. The growth focus is split into four categories: Responsible Growth; Healthy Growth, Cooperative Growth and Natural Growth. Arla aims to take an even stronger position in the market as an innovative and responsible farmer-owned dairy company, which provides natural and healthy food to consumers and customers. As such the cooperate aims at engaging even further in the foodservice sector, as well as building on the current growth in e-commerce.

Arla Denmark’s 10 commercial priorities

Furthermore, Arla expects to continue the increase on brand sales in the years to come and has a declared intention of creating growth in the market and generate a stronger performance price for its owners in 2017.

Europe is key Although Arla has six strategic markets on a global level, Europe remains the key market with almost 80 percent of its total revenue. The main markets being Denmark, Sweden, Finland Germany, the Netherlands, and UK. Denmark and Sweden accounted for almost half of the raw milk inflow from Arla owners in 2016 (Denmark 34.2 pct., Sweden13.8 pct.). The UK, with 2.485 owners, is Arla’s biggest single market accounting for approximately 26 pct. of the total revenue with almost 75 pct. based on local milk and the remaining share from sales of imported products.

Thus, Arla needs to focus on minimizing any potential negative impact of Brexit.

In an effort to help this situation Arla

Jakob Bernhard Knudsen, Market Head of Arla Denmark.

has established a senior management taskforce to analyze and monitor the possible consequences as well as prepare the business to deal with the developments following the Brexit. ■

sia, Sweden, Denmark, the Baltics, USA and China. In fact, Valio was established to promote the export of quality butter.

Today the international sales account for more than one third of Valio Group’s net sales. The groundbreaking nutritional innovations of Valio provide solutions for global health trends, such as free from lactose, high in protein, decreasing sugar and salt intake.

Valio is in many cases a true pioneer regarding healthy and practical inventions, like unburnable milk. Valio has also launched Valio MiFU® friable cooking crumb in Finland, which has pulled ahead to become the market leader in the category for products providing an alternative to meat.

Valio’s R&D turns 100 years Valio is the only dairy company in the world with a Nobel Prize -winning innovation. The first Valio laboratory was established in 1906. This year marks the

hundredth year since the establishment of Valio's first research laboratory, which began operations in the centre of Helsinki, in March 1917. Valio's R&D has evolved in step with Finland, which is celebrating its hundredth year of independence this year.

In 1919, Valio's laboratory served as the location where Artturi Ilmari Virtanen – a chemist who was to become one of the most well-known Finnish scientists – began his life's work. With no compromises on quality and with a firm focus on scientific collaboration, A.I. Virtanen led the laboratory from 1921 onwards, for nearly 50 years. Of Virtanen's inventions, AIV fodder and AIV salt, in particular, were revolutionary, and Virtanen’s inventions led to him receiving the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1945.

Well-being and responsibility guide product development - Well-being is the key to everything, said the Nobel laureate Virtanen with regard to the direction in which Valio's product range developed in its early days. Indeed, Valio has actively monitored, studied and solved global nutrition issues. Valio aims to develop innovations that advance public health.

One of Valio's most recent innovations – such as the launch of the sodium reduced Valio ValSa® milk salt, a unique innovation to reduce the amount of salt in food without compromising on taste, and the company's snacks with lower sugar content – are also responses to global nutritional challenges.

Valio’s R&D unit is also looking for innovative solutions on the responsibility front throughout the entire production chain – from field to table. Thus, the focus of our research strategy is to continuously develop environmentally friendly production from healthy animals to healthy, yet tasty, foodstuffs.

This will also be the focal areas of Valio’s research and product development activities in the years to come.

Valio's new patented invention, for instance, enables more efficient utilisation of the nutrients in slurry when it is processed into water, fertilizer fractions and biogas. Using slurry as a fertilizer gets easier, nutrient cycling becomes more efficient, and the runoff of nutrients decreases. Biogas can be used in the production of electricity and heat or as a traffic fuel. With this invention Valio processes nutrients from recycled cow manure, which used effectively will benefit the environment.

and Ireland. As regards Jarlsberg®, TINE wants to supply the international markets by increasing production in Ireland.

TINE has produced Jarlsberg® outside of Norway for a number of years, and has only positive experiences to report. Jarlsberg® for the Norwegian market will continue to be produced in Norway. A change of this kind to how the international market is supplied is an extensive process that is only likely to start in 2019. TINE will continue to work on safeguarding profitability and increasing value creation for Jarlsberg® as a brand, both in Norway and internationally.

Jarlsberg® was first exported to the USA in 1961, and it is now the number one brand in its segment of imported cheese in the USA, Canada and Australia. In the USA Jarlsberg® is sold in 93 per cent of all supermarkets and is the best-known and best-selling foreign speciality cheese in its category.

TINE has had a wholly-owned subsidiary in the USA, Norseland Inc, since 1979, which also has a branch office in Canada. In 2012 TINE acquired the American dairy company Alpine Dairy LLC in Ohio. They have been producing Jarlsberg under franchise since 2000, after demand for Jarlsberg® outstripped the import quota.

As part of its long-term international investment strategy, TINE acquired the Swedish company Wernersson Ost in 2007. Wernersson markets and dis-

tributes speciality cheeses within the Nordic and Baltic regions. The British cheese market is another priority area, and in 2008 TINE acquired the British cheese producer Ilchester Cheese Company Ltd., which is now part of TINE’s wholly-owned subsidiary in the UK (Norseland Ltd.).

Big in Norway Historically TINE has always been the largest player on the Norwegian milk market. TINE is still a major producer, but now faces considerable competition in the key areas of cheese, yoghurt and milk. In addition to domestic competitors, there has been a market increase in imports of, primarily, cheese, yoghurt and flavoured milk drinks.

EEA Unlike Denmark, Finland and Sweden, Norway is not a member of the EU. Consequently, the EU and Norway do not have a common agricultural and market policy. Norway therefore applies a national price level to the products that differs from the various EU countries. Norway’s relationship with the EU (and so the Nordic region) is based on a separate agreement that established the European Economic Area (EEA).

This means that sales of Norwegian products on the other Nordic markets are treated as exports, based mainly on rules set out in the EEA agreement between the EU and Norway. ■

tion – with focus on minimizing risks and maximizing yield.

CHY-MAX® M, which is second-generation FPC (highly purified fermentation-produced chymosin), is a good example of that.

- Since its introduction in 2008, CHY-MAX® M has revolutionized the role that rennet plays because of its outstanding quality and the numerous benefits it gives. Today, the product is used by cheese producers in more than 60 countries on all continents and for all cheese types, says Michael Fooken Jensen, Global Marketing Manager.

- Moreover, it is verified for both Kosher and Halal and is suitable for the growing consumer group of vegetarians.

Improved process control One of the greatest strengths of CHYMAX® M is that the coagulant is highly insensitive to fluctuations in pH value, temperature and milk quality. This means that as a producer, you will see fewer coagulation time fluctuations.

Higher yield CHY-MAX® M increases production yield by at least 0.5% compared to

CHY-MAX® M is also a vital ingredient in the SaltLite solution introduced

by Chr. Hansen a couple of years ago, which makes it possible to reduce the salt content of cheese by up to 50%.

At the same time, the increased yield achievable with CHY-MAX® M means that the carbon footprint can be reduced by 200 kg for each ton of cheese produced using this coagulant.

Several good cases Chr. Hansen has several good examples from all over the world where the change to CHY-MAX® M has made a real difference for the customer: • In a large American dairy, they increased production yield by 2.2%, corresponding to 690 tons more cheese from the same volume of milk.

• A Danish dairy realized that by doubling the dose, they could speed up coagulation and thus production so much that it more than justified the increased dose.

• Another American diary achieved a 1.2% higher water content in their mozzarella with perfect cutting firmness for up to 90 days.

- CHY-MAX® M has really proved its worth and won the hearts of many cheese producers over the years, Michael Fooken Jensen says.

- It has been a strong growth engine for Chr. Hansen, and growth still continues, but our focus is always on developing new, good solutions for our customers. One of the latest initiatives is a new rennet, CHY-MAX® Special, which provides the same benefits as CHY-MAX® M but adds increased breakdown of the texture, which some of our customers want, especially when it comes to the soft cheeses, concludes Michael Fooken Jensen. ■

Better cutting firmness Better texture makes the cheese less sticky, thus making it easier to cut/grate it. Another advantage is easier cleaning of the process equipment.

Better flavor CHY-MAX® M has a high specificity which ensures a mild and round cheese flavor with less bitterness.

Longer shelf-life Longer shelf-life is not only important in relation to food waste as an ethical problem which is really rising up on the consumers' agenda. It also means a lot for the loss of value suffered by the dairy and the retail industry as a result of discarding. CHY-MAX® M extends shelf-life considerably, especially in soft cheeses such as mozzarella, brie and crescenza.

Simulation adds value by OPTIMISING PRODUCTION LINES Traditional design with buffers and safety factors

By Rolf Pedersen, Market Director, Food & Beverage

Traditional design of process lines is based on specified nominal capacities for the individual process units, using factors for operational efficiency to cover for maintenance, cleaning, adding safety factors to ensure a line capacity. Buffers are built into many process lines to ensure efficient use of the main process equipment, thereby adding to the overall processing time for foods which are perishable and should be processed as fast as possible and reach the customers as fast as possible.

NIRAS team of business consultants and logistic experts has extensive experi-

ence in auditing and analyzing production setup, logistics and distribution in hygienic production facilities like dairy factories, breweries, slaughter houses etc. The benefits from optimisation were traditionally documented with static calculations, but in recent years new tools have been introduced with success. Simulation of production and logistics using a dynamic toolbox has been developed and refined to a very useful tool.

Dynamic simulation in design and optimisation NIRAS has introduced dynamic simulation during design, using ‘predictive simulation modelling’. The model and software tools take variations and discrete incidents into account during the simulation. It is possible to build a realistic production line setup where the interactions between process equipment, buffers, packing equipment and

The benefits from simulation • Validation of design and capacity – Is it possible to produce the required volumes and different products?

• Optimisation of design – Identification of potential bottle necks, spare capacity and inappropriate buffer storage in a production line.

• Test of sensitivity to break down of equipment • Test of actual production capacity when production plan and scheduled maintenance requirements are incorporated in the calculations NIRAS has extensive experience in dynamic 3D simulation and references from optimizing food production facilities as well as warehouse and logistics. Most recently we have optimized the setup in a large North American company.

Adding Value by Improving Efficiency The intensified global competition means increase in the demands for optimisation of utilisation of assets and machinery, raw materials, chemicals, packaging materials, as well as associated costs for utility and energy consumption and environmental load and increases in the demand for plant wide transparency of manufacturing related costs.   By Klaus Dam, Managing Director Au2mate A/S  

This article deals with three prevailing factors driven by automation for adding value by improving the efficiency of the dairy plants i.e.: Advanced regulating techniques; plant tailored efficiency and statistical process control.

Advanced regulating techniques The advanced regulating techniques are applied to compensate for process as well as plant variables in complex, critical and high yield applications.

One example of advanced regulating techniques is in standardising applications for automatic high accuracy standardising of the fat percentage in the cream line and the milk line after a milk separator. The standardising application can be applied in new as well as existing installations. The standardising application can operate as stand-alone or seamlessly integrated with a factory automation system.

The working principle for the standardising application is basically to standardise the cream to the required cream fat percentage and blend back the cream into the milk line in an adequate quantity to achieve the required milk fat percentage. This functionality is achieved by means of two regulating valves installed in the cream line, operating in a cascade regulating loop based upon measurement signals from two density transmitters installed in the skim milk line and in the standardised cream line and a flow transmitter installed in the cream line dosing back to the milk line. The density transmitter measurement compensates for fluctuations in the product temperature as well as variations in the skim milk fat percentage from the separator.

The benefit relative to conventional standardising systems, means that the advanced application offers higher accuracy and more rapid process response and hence increased financial results.

The working principles of the standardising application appear in figure 1.

Plant tailored efficiency In daily operation of the dairy plant all mixing zones between milk products, water and cleaning agents is a challenge to minimise. Uncontrolled and unidentified mixing zones are a source for increased waste.

By adopting plant tailored efficiency, best practice on CIP and route control in the dairy, significant improvements can be achieved.

The design idea is based on open accessible parameters for all variables in the process plant e.g. pipe volumes, velocity and timers. The parameters are carefully adjusted to minimise waste of product, water and cleaning agents.

The benefit of adopting plant tailored efficiency is that we in a certain project have documented a reduction and improved efficiency in costs for electricity,

steam and ice water by over 20 pct., plus water and chemicals by over 30 pct. This translates to significant cost savings and hence improved financial results.

Statistical process control If you cannot measure it, you cannot control it. Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) solution for discrete manufacturing & unit processes is a tool for achieving full overview of plant effectiveness.

OEE is a recognised tool for monitoring and improving the effectiveness of production plants.

The first version of OEE Industry Standard was introduced in 2001 and in 2010 OEE Foundation was established with the purpose to maintain and further

develop the standard. In recent years, OEE has increasingly gained acceptance in the dairy industry.

The working principle of OEE appears in below figure 2.

OEE offers increased plant effectiveness by systematic measurement of failures, by providing a tool for line comparison and shift comparison. This can contribute to increased plant utilisation, significant cost savings and hence improved financial results. ■

In cooperation with Tetra Pak’s Processing Division we design and supply total line solutions for processing of bioactive protein from feed intake to finished high value products.

By DSS-TetraPak

Over a number of years, we have seen an increasing interest in solutions for fractioning and filtration of high value bioactive proteins within the dairy industry such as lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase etc. for use in infant formula, functional foods, and health nutrition.

standard dairy applications, special attention needs to be paid to a number of factors when designing membrane filtration plants for diafiltration and concentration of eluates after a fractioning process.

The dead volume challenge High value bioactive proteins Membrane filtration is the main technology required to produce high value bioactive proteins, often obtained by combining different separation processes, fractionation, ion exchange, electro dialysis, crystallization, etc.

Given the higher value and lower volumes of the bioactive proteins compared to membrane filtration plants for

The dead volume of a membrane filtration plant may easily become the limiting factor, when concentrating the proteins, unless special care is taken.

Conservative flux calculations to avoid capacity constraints may lead to the minimum operating volumes being reached before the desired concentration target.

Consequently, batch volumes feeding the filtration plant need to be customized to the dead volume.

Tetra Pak Filtration Solutions has developed a plant design optimizing capacity while at the same time keeping plant dead volumes at a minimum.

Designed for minimum product loss As the desired dairy protein is normally a very small percentage of the incoming feed stream, the actual harvest of bioactive proteins is quite limited after concentration by ultrafiltration. Often, a significant part of the product is still inside the membrane filters. Tetra Pak Filtration Solutions has developed a design facilitating drainage of high-value product from specially designed filter housings whereby minimum amounts of permeate is needed for flushing. This reduces losses, and at the same time undesired dilution of the concentrated product is avoided. To minimize product loss, product tanks are designed with outlets limiting the need for flushing, and valves are elevated above floor level to facilitate drainage. ■

Bioactive proteins are an important ingredient in sports and dietary nutrition products due to their health promoting properties.

Improving form-stability of extruded ice cream with CREMODAN® ShapePro Great ice cream quality is the result of having good raw materials and ingredients, the right processing and distribution system. For extruded ice cream products, dryness on extrusion and form-stability are essential elements in being able to produce high quality products.

By Mads Wiene, Application Specialist, Ice Cream Application, DuPont Nutrition & Health

Today, waste related to rejected extruded ice cream products that do not live up to internal quality standards of shape and appearance, is a significant problem in the ice cream industry. Consistently having the right shape and appearance of products is one of the parameters that can be used by ice cream manufacturers to ensure customer loyalty towards their brands.

Waste in relation to out or off specification products is often seen in products that are extruded, where the right shape and appearance is extremely crucial for the final product quality, and the expectation of the end-consumers.

NR. 9

CREMODAN® ShapePro Sharp lines, the possibility of precise shaping and high ice cream quality are important when producing extruded ice cream products, but it can sometimes be a challenge especially if the ice cream is made from a low-cost recipe.

CREMODAN® ShapePro Emulsifier & Stabiliser System can be the tool needed to solve the production challenges of extruded ice cream, and therefore also the possibility to decrease waste from production because of imperfect quality of the shape and appearance of the product.

Thanks to its specially selected composition of emulsifiers and stabilisers, CREMODAN ® ShapePro secures high ice cream shape stability, increases dryness on extrusion, and improves meltdown resistance and compensates for the loss of quality that is often experienced with low-cost recipes.

Enhanced shape-retention, higher meltdown resistance, dry extrusion CREMODAN® ShapePro has been developed to give better shape stability compared to a standard emulsifier/ stabiliser system (figure 1). It further-

more improves the meltdown resistance significantly (figure 2).

Both of these properties mean that CREMODAN® ShapePro is very suitable for extruded ice cream where good form-stability is important for the visual quality of the products.

An ice cream with good extrusion properties should not only have good formstability and high melting resistance, but the ice cream should also appear dry when it comes out of the extrusion heads in order not to freeze on the stainlesssteel plates that they are placed on during the hardening process. If the ice cream is wet when it exits the extruder head, it

26

will also be difficult to get a “clean-cut” when the ice cream is cut into individual products after the extruder head. A product that is not “clean-cut” will not only appear poor, but can also give problems later in the process, for example when products are dipped in chocolate. An extruded ice cream product that is not “clean-cut” can typically have problems with formation of pin-holes when dipped in chocolate (see figure 3). Pin-holes in the chocolate coating are caused by ice cream penetrating the chocolate coating just after the dipping process, which can give rise to further product waste (products out or off spec).

Functional systems (emulsifier/stabilizer blends and stabilizer systems) for ice cream and frozen dessert applications from DuPont™ Danisco® range are generally known under the brand name CREMODAN®.

CREMODAN® ShapePro is an integrated product. Unlike physical blends of emulsifiers/stabilisers, integrated emulsifiers/stabilisers consist of freeflowing beads which do not tend to create lumps when added to water. This is because hydration of the stabiliser part in the ice cream mix is easier since the stabiliser component is initially less accessible to the aqueous phase. The stabiliser part will first be released totally into the mix when it is heated to above 60-65°C and the emulsifier starts to melt. In this way, more consistent ice cream production and quality can be achieved.

The advantages of using CREMODAN® Emulsifier & Stabiliser Systems in ice cream production: • Ideal for continuous, automatic production • Uniform quality • High bacteriological standard • Direct addition without dry mixing, for instance with sugar • Increased effect of some of the components • Cold dispersible, allowing addition at any convenient stage during processing • Good dispersion, no lump formation • Reduced dust problems • Easy to handle • Single component system.

Boosting Competitiveness with Industry 4.0 The dairy, food and beverage industry is currently challenged more than ever, mainly due to fierce competition. The industry is highly focused on reducing production costs per unit, while at the same time maintaining product quality and safety. To achieve this goal, flexible IT and automation solutions can be applied to optimise processes and equipment by creating a more efficient production environment.

By Business Director Claus Sass Hvass, Eltronic A/S, Hedensted

Industry 4.0 is the right place to begin, when a dairy company wants to reduce production costs, while maintaining product quality and safety. This industrial evolution covers a ground-breaking way of viewing the production process in the dairy, food and beverage industry – from a process-oriented to a productoriented point of view. At Eltronic – a Danish engineering, IT and automation company focused on optimisation of production systems based on the concepts of Industry 4.0 – Industry 4.0 is regarded as an evolution rather than a revolution, which will take the industry to the next level. When applied correctly, Industry 4.0 is able to connect the virtual world of data with the physical production environment – thus creating a more efficient and future-proof production.

this leads to new opportunities such as process plants that flexibly respond to requests, monitor themselves and report technical problems and maintenance needs to avoid production stops.

Intelligent and lights-out production is within realistic reach. The result will be a more efficient and flexible production system that will be product-oriented rather than process-oriented.

Eltronic Smart Performance The key feature of the Eltronic Smart Performance system for Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a small standard “Smart Box”. The Smart Box is a low-price, highly efficient plug-andplay OEE solution for all types of manufacturing companies in the industry. It is provided with online visualisation of OEE and the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the operation.

OEE is a “best practice” measuring unit for identifying the percentage of planned production time that is truly productive. OEE is useful as a benchmark to compare the performance of a

given production unit to industry standards or to similar in-house units. OEE can also be used as a baseline to track progress over time to eliminate waste from a given production unit.

Eltronic Smart Automation The Eltronic Smart Automation solution includes a complete turnkey automation and IT solution with MCC, panels and installation. The process control integrates the entire production line - from raw material intake, formulation and general processing and on to special product processing / treatment and end-of-line robotic handling and packaging.

Arla Foods and Grundfos cooperate to develop water re-use solutions, which we have previously presented in Danish Dairy & Food Industry, worldwide 2016 no. 26. This article focuses on the results from almost two years in operation and of one year with actual re-use at the Arla Foods dairy in Rødkærsbro.

The project so far The Arla Foods, Rødkærsbro dairy processes the largest volume of collected milk in Denmark and specialises in manufacturing mozzarella cheese.

In recent years, production has risen steadily to its current level of 80,000 tons annually. At the same time, solids content in the whey has been increased from 8 to 18%. In 2014, the amount of milky water (RO water) had reached a level where internal re-use and the

dairy's own wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) no longer were able to process it all.

The solution was biological treatment of the milky water to prevent microfilm formation and remove nitrogen followed by ultra-filtration through ceramic membranes to filter out bacteria and particles. The quality of the treated water is high enough for discharge to the local river and opened up for re-use of the water. The treatment scheme and the present flow are shown in figure 1.

Meeting all discharge requirements There is far more to this than increased production and turnover; it is fundamental to the project that the discharged water meets all requirements. Table 1 shows the treatment results reported from the almost two years in operation, and all requirements are met with a good margin.

Moving to water re-use With water quality sufficiently good to return to nature, the Arla Foods and Grundfos project group looked to water re-use opportunities at the dairy, starting with a catalogue of re-use opportunities. The re-use water met drinking water standards, with a hardness of 0.5 dH and a low chloride content. This eliminated early concerns about potential scaling and corrosion potential.

Since March 2016, the cooling towers at Arla Foods, Rødkærsbro have received water from the Grundfos BioBooster plant. The dairy uses today between 75-150 m3/d of re-use water for this application.

For applications where the microbiological stability is more critical than for evaporation condensers, the Grundfos BACMON on-line bacteria counter monitors the microbiological quality, with the actual number of bacteria present in a water sample tested every 10 minutes.

for alarms – and closure of the supply of re-use water to the dairy, if required.

The next step was preparing a risk assessment for potential water re-use.

The focus was on opportunities before

ners are now looking at finalising the agreement for this next step.

The BACMON demonstrated a very good bacteriological quality. For comparison, Danish waterworks are normally in the range of 5.000. The measurement allows

pasteurisation of the milk for mozzarella production, to provide extra security.

The risk assessment concluded that the project is viable, and the project part-

The symbiosis between the focused environmental efforts at Arla Foods and the Grundfos investment in new water technologies, is a prime example of what can be achieved, when two environmentally-conscious companies collaborate. The solution at Rødkærsbro is a win-win solution for Arla Foods and Grundfos, and it is also very much a win for the environment. It represents a major step on the road towards dairies, where the process water arrives with the milk – the waterless dairy. ■

Optimizing hygienic design at stainless steel processing plants LP Kolding has just delivered 30 processing tanks to an ingredient manufacturing company and four tanks to a Swedish company manufacturing oat milk.

By Mogens Feld-Andreasen, Manager at LP Kolding

LP Kolding has great experience in process optimization within the production of dairy products and similar lines. Recently we have constructed 30 tanks for the company Glycom, which produces ingredients for breast milk substitutes.

Among others, Glycom works on a newly developed ingredient, which reportedly strengthens the child’s immune system to the same extent as natural breast milk. Glycom, situated in Lyngby, is busy preparing the production in both laboratory and developing centre, and the company expects to have a real production in mid-2017. The production takes place in a brand-new factory in Esbjerg – a factory which has the engineering company Process Engineering as a consultant.

For this project, LP Kolding has delivered 30 tanks, where the focus of the

Tanks for oat milk At the beginning of 2017 we were commissioned to construct four tanks to a Swedish company producing oat milk.

The production of the oat milk is made in horizontal tanks fitted with paddle agitators with a double balanced cartridge shaft seal.

The tanks are fitted with a cooling/ heating jacket and insulation and designed in accordance with the EHEDG standard.

One of these four tanks was a 7000 l sterilized tank constructed as a pressure tank with a design pressure of -1/+3 bar, from which the finished product is drawn directly into the packaging.

Ensuring Safety and Quality in the Production of Infant Formula Across the dairy, food and beverage industries, food safety is of paramount importance, but nowhere more so than in the production of early life nutrition products for babies and young children. SPX FLOW has had a great deal of experience working with manufacturers of infant formula and considering the critical factors to ensure quality and safety in this sensitive production process.

By Irene Constantin, Marketing Communications Manager, SPX FLOW

SPX FLOW knows that the best processing results are achieved through co-creation of production lines with its customers. Infant formula or other powder based early life nutrition (including baby milk, follow-on milk and growingup milk) require the strictest food safety and quality standards. To meet the demands of this market place, producers want absolute certainty in hygiene and food safety while protecting the nutritional value of the product. Other factors that impact powder quality classification include the level of scorched particles, solubility index, color, structure and other functional parameters. These are important considerations in the design of a processing line and the final value of the infant formula.

About SPX FLOW, Inc.: Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, SPX FLOW (NYSE: FLOW) is a leading global supplier of highly engineered flow components, process equipment and turn-key systems, along with the related aftermarket parts and services, into the food and beverage, power and energy and industrial end markets.

Infant Formula Processing There are many stages in a complete process line for producing infant formula and consideration needs to be taken for the type of ingredients, their quality and their application (liquid, powder in wet or dry compounding).

Each stage requires careful design to ensure the highest quality and food safety are maintained and that the plant is efficient, flexible and reliable.

Mixing The first main step in producing infant formula is mixing. The quality of mixing has a big impact on end product quality and, where solids and liquids need to be combined, good dispersion is essential.

There are many production benefits to a closed vacuum mixer including reduced mixing time, greater energy efficiency, reduced waste and easy maintenance.

Evaporation The next main stage is an evaporation stage, which is an energy efficient method of increasing total solids (TS) of the formula. Using an evaporator, also helps extend the shelf life of the final product by removing occluded air from the fluid.

UHT Treatment SPX FLOW Instant Infusion heat treatment technology is widely used for the production of Infant Formula because of the levels of food safety it offers, while protecting nutritional quality. The high temperature gives exceptional kill rate and eliminates even heat-resistant bac-

teria spores. This process protects the quality and nutritional value of the product while ensuring the highest standards in food safety.

Optional Cavitation Stage The SPX FLOW Cavitator™ uses a rotor with precisely machined cavities spinning in a liquid chamber that generates controlled cavitation. The process increases spray drying efficiency by reducing fluid viscosity and enabling an increase in solids level as well as adding microstructural conditioning, that optimizes particle structure, size and distribution of solid components.

Combined High Pressure Pumping and Homogenization Homogenization helps with controlling final product quality, especially the levels of free fat which effect stability of the infant formula.

Spray Drying The main part of the latter processing stages for infant formula production

NR. 9

involves a spray dryer. This process is vital to final product quality and gives complete control over characteristics such as density, moisture content, powder properties and sensorial aspects.

Automation Systems Automation is an important part of an infant formula processing line. Modern systems including the FactoryExpert™ automation solution help ensure reliability and optimized operating costs, but they also add flexibility, traceability, assist with the control of quality and enhance overall operational safety of the system.

Traceability For Infant Formula manufacturers traceability is of paramount importance. Suppliers can equip the process-

ing line with the necessary software and hardware required for full traceability of the manufacturing process.

Efficiency and flexibility In SPX FLOW’s experience, achieving the highest standards of safety and quality does not mean manufacturers of infant formula need to compromise on production efficiency and flexibil-

ity. Systems are designed to meet the needs of today and the future, covering areas such as advanced powder nutrition for all life stages. Features and functions that provide food safety and plant safety are integrated into the plant throughout production stages, brought together with modern automation systems that help protect and control the whole process. ■

intangible benefits like pulsation free pumping and lower noise at the production floor and the area around the pump.

Improving efficiency – yoghurt production

Improving efficiency cheese production A large Scandinavian cheese dairy changed their pump types to Masosine pumps, and instantly experienced a significantly less amount (27 %) of cheese fines (illustrated in Figure 2), meaning they got more cheese out of every litre of milk. The yearly savings were 100.000 EUR and the Masosine ROI was therefore very attractive.

Besides this tangible economic benefit, the dairy also experienced more

A large European yoghurt dairy changed their pump types to Masosine pumps, and instantly experienced a significantly lower amount (33%) of viscosity loss during pumping. The yearly savings were 33 % less added protein in the protein standardization before pumping their shear sensitive yoghurt to the filling machines.

Certified cleanability We are proud to announce, that Certa is one of only two pumps worldwide that obtained both EHEDG - Class 1 and EHEDG - Class 1 Aseptic certificates (Figure 3). Meaning Certa is very hygienically designed and easy to clean.

Dairy production plants pay ever more attention to EHEDG certifications – and rightfully so, a pump is more than just a pump. ■

Reduced energy consumption leads to lower carbon dioxide emissions. Energy efficiency is of major significance for the overall effect on the climate. All properties use energy (heating, cooling, electricity), which leads, among other things, to carbon dioxide emissions.

The fact is that some 40 per cent of Sweden’s energy is used to run properties. A selection of the EU’s climate targets include: • Reduced emissions of greenhouse gases by at least 20 per cent by 2020 (EU 27). Emissions must fall by 30 per cent in a more extensive, international agreement.

• Increased energy efficiency within the Union – energy usage must fall by 20 per cent by 2020.

Make a contribution to the climate Measures that reduce energy consumption are of major significance for the overall effect on the climate. Lower energy consumption means that nature’s resources are not burdened to such a great extent. However, there are business benefits too. Does your business have a specific environmental policy?

Flere medarbejdergrupper repræsenteres i Arla Foods Samarbejdsråd Efter langt tilløb og et grundigt forarbejde indfaser Arla Foods nu en ny model for det nationale samarbejdsråd, hvilket blandt andet sikrer to pladser til gruppen af ’Individuelt ansatte’.

Af Anne-Sofi Christiansen

Igennem flere år har der været arbejdet hen i mod en modernisering af Arla Foods nationale Samarbejdsråd. Processen har haft til formål at få sammensætningen af medarbejderrepræsentationen (B-siden) til at afspejle sammensætningen af koncernens medarbejdergruppe.

Resultatet af processen er, at der i 2017 og 2018 sker en indfasning af det nye Samarbejdsråd. Første skridt er valg af en repræsentant for de individuelt ansatte, hvilket er en af de helt nye repræsentationer i Samarbejdsrådet.

Processen Det nye Samarbejdsråd i Arla Foods er sammensat efter en proces, som i første omgang har været forankret i Mejeriindustriens SamarbejdsForum (MSF). Baggrunden herfor var, at flere faggrupper, som ikke tidligere har været repræsenteret i Samarbejdsrådet, ønskede repræsentation. Samtidig havde Arla Foods ønsker om modernisering.

44

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2017

Med afsæt i MSF blev der nedsat en intern arbejdsgruppe i Arla Foods, hvor de forskellige faggrupper var repræsenteret. Arbejdsgruppen kom ikke helt i mål med en model, men gav Arla Foods en række input, som har ført til at den valgte model nu implementeres.

Individuelt ansatte Gruppen af INDIVIDUELT ANSATTE vil være den gruppe, som flest medlemmer fra Foreningen af mejeriledere samt Dansk Mejeriingeniør Forening vil repræsenteres i.

Denne gruppe får én plads fra juni 2017, og valget til denne gruppe vil blive afholdt i løbet af maj 2017. Fra og med juni 2018 vil gruppen af individuelt ansatte få to pladser, hvor den ene vil være øremærket til en medarbejder fra Sønderhøj/Sluseholmen, mens den anden plads vil være øremærket til en medarbejder fra øvrige driftssteder.

For at kunne blive valgt til at repræ-

sentere de individuelt ansatte, skal man opfylde følgende krav: • Være myndig og have minimum 12 måneders anciennitet i Arla i Danmark • Være ansat til at arbejde i Danmark • Være ansat på vilkår, der ikke er reguleret af overenskomsterne mellem Mejeribrugets Arbejdsgiverforening og 3F, NNF, DMF, HK samt Dansk Metal & Dansk El-Forbund • Være ansat i stilling uden personaleledelsesansvar

Opstilling af afstemning Alle som opfylder disse kriterier er opstillingsberettigede vil have modtaget en direkte mail vedr. dette. Af denne mail fremgår der, at man kan meddele sit kandidatur til Hans Uhrenholt, Arla Foods på hauhr@arlafoods.com senest onsdag d. 10. maj klokken 12.00.

NR. 9

Et stort skridt i den rigtige retning Mejeriindustriens SamarbejdsForum og en intern arbejdsgruppe i Arla Foods har været med til drøfte det nye Samarbejdsråd, og de involverede i arbejdet er grundlæggende tilfredse med den nye model. Samtidig lyder der en kraftig opfordring til de berørte om at bruge deres nyerhvervede stemmeret og mulighed for medindflydelse ved valget i maj. store grupper af kollegaer nu er repræsenterede. Det har været en spændende proces at være en del af, siger Bjarke Damsgaard Jørgensen.

Bjarke Damsgaard Jørgensen, Arla Foods Taulov Mejeri og hovedbestyrelsesmedlem i Foreningen af mejeriledere og funktionærer, deltog i arbejdsgruppen vedr. Arla Foods fremtidige Samarbejdsråd. Bjarke er glad for, at Arla Foods er kommet frem til en model, som i videre udstrækning end tidligere tilgodeser, at forskellige medarbejdergrupper er repræsenteret i Samarbejdsrådet.

- Jeg havde gerne set, at vi var nået et skridt videre, og at vores mellemledere også havde fået en plads ved bordet.

Denne gruppe af medarbejdere, som ganske vist er ledere, men som i rigtigt mange henseender og i koncernperspektivet er at betragte som medarbejdere, har stadig ikke et talerør. Det synes jeg er ærgerligt. Når det er sagt, så er jeg glad for, at vi er kommet i mål med, at

Kun ét forum for dialog og samarbejde Hans Uhrenholt, Head of HR Operational Services DK, Arla Foods, som koordinerer aktiviteterne i og omkring Arla Foods danske Samarbejdsråd vurderer, at formålet med forandringen er at sikre det nære samarbejde mellem Arla Foods og alle virksomhedens medarbejdere med henblik på at skabe en endnu bedre arbejdsplads. Den gode dialog, kommunikation, involvering af interessenter og medarbejderrepræsentanter er midler til opnåelse af ambitionen om det gode samarbejde.

Arla Foods nationale Samarbejdsråd får en B-side, som repræsenterer følgende medarbejdergrupper, når den nye model er fuldt implementeret i sommeren 2018: • 6 repræsentanter for mejeripersonale og chauffører • 1 repræsentant for administrativt personale (HK) • 1 repræsentant for vedligeholdelsespersonale (Metal/El) • 2 repræsentanter for individuelt ansatte medarbejdere - én repræsentant fra Viby/CPH - én repræsentant fra øvrige driftssteder i Danmark Virksomhedsrepræsentanterne i Samarbejdsrådet er viceadministrerende direktør, produktionsdirektører og HR Operational Services DK. Samarbejdsrådet beskæftiger sig blandt andet med information og høring, koncernpolitikker og strukturændringer.

NR. 9

- Arbejdet i Samarbejdsrådet, som også vil blive styrket gennem oprettelsen af et forretningsudvalg, er hjørnestenen i vores medarbejderinddragelse. Derfor er en retvisende sammensætning af Samarbejdsrådet, så det afspejler den generelle sammensætning af medarbejdergrupper i Arla Foods i Danmark, af stor vigtighed. Vi glæder os til at søsætte den nye model i juni måned, siger Hans Uhrenholt.

Benyt muligheden for indflydelse!

Foreningen af mejeriledere og funktionærer og Dansk Mejeriingeniør Forening opfordrer berørte medlemmer, som omfattet af denne nye mulighed for indflydelse, til at gøre deres indflydelse gældende. Anne-Sofi Christiansen, sekretariatsleder for begge foreninger, opfordrer de berørte medlemmer til at bruge muligheden.

- Vi har i foreningerne været meget optaget af at skubbe i den rigtige retning, hvad angår den brede medarbejderrepræsentation i Arla Foods samarbejdsråd. Vi er glade for at være lykkes så langt, og nu er det så op til de berørte medarbejdere at gøre brug af muligheden for indflydelse. Så hermed en stor opfordring til at stille kandidater og afgive stemmer, siger Anne-Sofi Christiansen.

Det er Asian Blending med base i Singapore, som sammen med fire øvrige salgsvirksomheder bliver primær udbyder af de to specialprodukter på auktionen, der er retningsgivende for verdensmarkedspriserne. Eric Hansen, direktør for newzealandske GDT, vurderer, at køberne generelt efterspørger et større udvalg af specialprodukter fra hele verdenen. Produkterne ventes udbudt indenfor den kommende måned.

Det nye NIRAS har vækstambitioner Fusionen mellem ALECTIA og NIRAS er nu endelig på plads. Dermed er den nye rådgivningsvirksomhed med 2100 medarbejdere en realitet under navnet NIRAS. Fokus vil fortsat være rådgivning indenfor vedvarende energi, procesindustri, miljø, vand og forsyning, skriver selskabet i en pressemeddelelse.

- Både fagligt, geografisk og kulturelt er der et godt match mellem vores virksomheder, der begge bygger på årelange erfaringer og stolte ingeniørfaglige traditioner. Flere medarbejdere har arbejdet i begge virksomheder, og andre kender hinanden fra projekter. Den nye virksomhed bygger videre på fællestræk som høj faglighed, loyalitet, engagement og et fladt hierarki, som sikrer handlekraft, siger Carsten Toft Boesen, administrerende direktør. Fusionen er gennemført på fondsniveau, hvilket sikrer, at NIRAS har fuld finansiel styrke til at investere i yderligere vækst.

Ost i handelskrig mellem USA og Canada Amerikanerne vil have tømmer og canadierne vil have ost.

Og det leverer de to store lande normalt til hinanden som en del af en stor samhandel på mere end 4500 mia. kroner, skriver Ritzau. Men i uge 16 pålagde USA told på 24 pct. på al canadisk tømmer med den begrundelse, at den canadiske stat subsidierer sine tømmerproducenter. Canada svarer nu igen ved at indføre begrænsninger for salg af udenlandske mælkeprodukter, som især rammer amerikanske mejerier og mælkebønder. Hårdest ramt er delstaten Wisconsin, der producerer en fjerdedel af al ost i USA. (Foto: Colourbox).

Mammen Mejerierne vil bygge energicentral Mens Mammen Mejerierne netop er ved at lægge sidste hånd på et helt nyt osteanlæg på 3000 kvadratmeter, så annoncerer man nu nye investeringer. Man har nemlig netop søgt Bjerringbro Kommune om landzonetilladelse til en ny energicentral med skorsten ved mejeriet, skriver Food Supply. En 6,5 meter høj bygning på 120 kvadratmeter skal anvendes til at huse den eksisterende energicentral på mejeriets gamle del. Energicentralen og den eksisterende skorsten på 12 meters højde skal flyttes til den nye bygning.

Kommunen har vendt tommelen op på den betingelse, at byggeriet er færdigt, inden der er gået tre år.

Cocio investerer i mindre flødelag Fedtafsætning i form af et flødelag er en svær udfordring i konsummælksprodukter. Det gælder også chokolademælksprodukterne fra Cocio. I fremtiden vil problemet dog stort set blive elimineret, når en ny højtrykshomogenisator fra GEA Danmark er installeret. Denne vil med et tryk på 600 bar i forbindelse med homogeniseringen give mindre fedtkugler i mælken og dermed et mindre flødelag. Det er især på de asiatiske markeder, at forbrugerne har svært ved at forstå flødeafsætningen og tror, at der er tale om en fejl i produktet, skriver Food Supply. Med den nye fremstillingsproces skal Cocio gerne blive endnu mere attraktiv i de asiatiske supermarkeder, forklarer Christian B. Sørensen, som er site director på Cocio.

Videreuddannelse i mejeriautomatisering Har du brug for at opdatere din viden om mejeriautorisering?

Så er Au2mate Academy på banen med et uddannelsesforløb, der henvender sig til operatører, teknikere og ledere. Behovet for videreuddannelse skyldes stadig større mejerianlæg med mere komplekse processer og anvendt automatiseringsteknologi. Samtidig øges kravene til ydeevne, herunder procesoptimering, der kan reducere spild, energiforbrug og rengøringsmidler og i øvrigt forlænge anlæggenes oppetid.

Træningen omfatter automatiseringskoncepter, instrumentering, PLC, SCADA og MES opbygget efter fremherskende industristandarder og bedste praksis bl.a. S88 og S95.

Au2mate Academy er et videnscenter i mejeriautomatisering, som tilbyder uddannelse og træning af ledere, operatører og teknikere i mejeriautomatisering. Se kursusprogrammet m.m. på www.au2mate.com.

Danskerne er vilde med specialoste Danske forbrugere har for alvor fået øjnene op for det store udbud af specialoste, skriver Berlingske. Det gælder oste fra helt små mejerier som Humlebæk Mikro Mejeri, Ostebørsen, Sønderhaven Gårdmejeri, Øselund Gedeosteri og Knuthenlund Herregårdsmejeri. Og i lige så høj grad de større virksomheder som Them Andelsmejeri, Mammen Mejeri og Thise, som ligeledes har udviklet nye serier af specialoste.

Hertil kommer Unika-serien fra Arla Foods, som også kan købes i stadig flere specialforretninger.

- Der er en stor interesse fra forbrugerne for at gå på opdagelse i mejeriernes univers af nye, dyre og lidt sjældne luksusoste. Vi tror på, at det er en trend, der kan vokse sig stor. Forbrugerne efterspørger lokalt producerede fødevarer, siger afdelingschef Jan Hermansen fra Mejeriforeningen til Berlingske. (Foto:Knuthenlund Herregårdsmejeri).

Uhrenholt præsterer overskud på 27,5 mio.kr Uhrenholt-koncernen har netop aflagt regnskab for 2016, som viser et overskud på 27,5 mio.kr., skriver landbrugsavisen. dk. Dermed er virksomheden tilsyneladende fuldstændig ude af den krise, som opstod tilbage i 2012, hvor selskabet var hårdt ramt af problemer på det russiske marked, der udgør en hovedaktivitet. I forhold til 2015, hvor overskuddet var 19,5 mio.kr., steg omsætningen til 1,94 mia. Regnskabet vurderes særligt tilfredsstillende, fordi det fortsat indeholder flere ikke-strategiske forretningsområder, som er tabsgivende og på vej til at blive afhændet. Uhrenholdt handler med mejeriprodukter, hvor man også har egenproduktion på Grøndal Mejeri, samt fisk, skaldyr og grøntsager.

Kort fortalt Irland skruer op for mælkeproduktionen

Spansk farm på vej med 20.000 køer Det spanske mejeriselskab, Valle de Odieta, har planer om at anlægge en kæmpefarm med over 20.000 køer i Soriaprovinsen, hvilket vil blive den største i Europa, skriver Landbrugsavisen. Alene stalde og foderanlæg vil lægge beslag på 150 hektar, mens foderarealet kræver 3000 hektarer.

Planen har dog udløst massive protester blandt de lokale mælkeproducenter, hvor 400 mindre producenter frygter at blive udkonkurreret af det nye projekt. De lokale politikere ser dog muligheder for vækst og flere arbejdspladser.

Arla lancerer økologisk flødeis Mejerigiganten Arla byder foråret velkommen med en ny økologisk flødeis ved navn Arla ØKO Flødeis. Isen er rørt med æggeblommer og har et højt indhold af fløde, som giver isen en ren smag og en cremet konsistens, skriver Arla i en pressemeddelelse.

- Is er indbegrebet af nydelse og forkælelse. Med Arla ØKO Flødeis introducerer vi en økologisk flødeis med fokus på god smag, kvalitet og naturlighed. Isen indeholder få nøje udvalgte ingredienser for at give den en ren og naturlig smag. Den har et højt indhold af dansk fløde, som giver en naturlig og cremet konsistens. Endelig har vi rørt flødeisen med æggeblommer, som man gjorde i de gode gamle dage, hvilket leder tankerne hen på hjemmelavet is, siger Anette Boye, Brand Manager for Arla ØKO Flødeis.

Den nye flødeis kommer i tre smagsvarianter: vanilje, chokolade og solbær. Vaniljevarianten er med økologisk Bourbonvanilje og vaniljekorn, chokoladevarianten indeholder økologiske chokoladestykker, og solbærvarianten byder på økologiske solbær. (Foto: Arla Foods).

Efter et fald på otte pct. i februar, er der nu for alvor ved at komme gang i den irske mælkeproduktion. Carbery har således oplevet om en stigning i indvejningen på 16 pct. i denne måned, mens Aurivo har registreret 12 pct. mere mælk, og Glanbia rapporterer om lignende stigninger. Det skriver Landbrug & Fødevarer / Dairy Industry Newsletter.

Irerne forklarer stigningen med bedre vejr, stigende priser og flere malkekøer i besætningerne.

Analytikere forudser en samlet stigning i den irske mælkeproduktion på en mia. kg i år, hvilket vil være 15 pct. mere end sidste år.

Personalia 50 års jubilarer mødes på Ladelund Gode holdkammerater. Som I sikkert erindrer, er det her til maj 50 år siden, at vores årgang sluttede vores uddannelse med skoleopholdet på Ladelund.

Jeg har gennem årene haft kontakt med enkelte af jer, og jeg synes, at det kunne være sjovt at mødes igen og hilse på hinanden. Jeg ved ikke, hvor mange der stadig er beskæftigede i mejeribranchen, for vi har jo nået pensionsalderen. Men det er mit håb, at mange af jer ser dette lille indlæg. Og har man kontakt til andre fra holdet, så kontakt dem venligst og prøv på at få dem med til jubilæumsdagen.

Ladelund ligner sig selv, men der er sket mangt og meget siden vi forlod skolen i 1967, men kom selv og se det.

Årsmødet finder sted lørdag den 20. maj kl. 10.00, men se mere på http://ladelundefterskole.dk/jubilardag-2017/ Tilmelding kan også finde sted her.

Welcome to the world’s largest culture plant As an important part of your participation in the Nordic Dairy Congress you are invited to visit Chr. Hansen’s impressive production flagship – the culture plant in Avedoere very close to Copenhagen airport – on Wednesday 7 June 2017.

The visit poses a unique chance to get behind the scenes at the world’s most advanced production facility for lactic acid bacteria. Already the world’s largest plant when it was taken into operation in 2008, the production capacity equaled enough cultures to cover the entire yogurt production in Europe. Since then several expansion projects have taken place at the production site, adding significantly to the size and production capacity.

Right now, construction work is ongoing at the site to double the capacity, and further investments are in the pipeline.

Practicalities On Wednesday 7 June, the Congress will pick you up in a shuttle bus, either from the airport or from one of the recommended hotels, and take you to the visit at Chr. Hansen. You are of course also welcome to arrive on your own.

Please enter your preferred transportation and time for the plant visit in the registration system. If you are already registered, please login again (link in the top of your confirmation) and make your choices.

Please note that the check-in formalities for the Congress will take place in connection with the site visit, where we have staff present to assist you in this.

We look forward to welcoming you to a very exciting afternoon.

Mælkeritidende, Munkehatten 28, 5220 Odense SØ

The plant boasts state-of-the-art technology and is highly automated with advanced robotic solutions. As a visitor, you will be invited into the heart of Chr. Hansen with the chance to witness the production process from raw material to final product – stored in the impressive minus 55 degrees C freezer – the largest one in the world.
