National prides - Nordic dairy specialties

Denmark

By J.M. Buch Kristensen, Ex-Principal, College of Food and Technology.

The Nordic countries has similarities as well as differences, when it comes to the dairysector and products. Mælkeritidende has asked dairy experts from each country with knowledge of the actual consumption to select the most wellknown and special product, when it comes to liquid milk, cheese and butter. They give a short intro into the actual consumption, structural development of production and the technology behind it.

Danbo History The Danish dairy sector has produced a number of different yellow cheeses under a large number of different names ever since the 1800s. In 1952, 11 typical Danish cheeses saw a Danish name according to the Stresa Convention. ‘Steppeost’ got the name Danbo because this cheese in all Danes' consciousness was perceived as the most characteristic Danish cheese. In 2018, Danbo was approved as a PGI protected cheese in the EU (PGI: Protected Geographical Indication).

Product description Danbo is firm in consistency and easy to cut into slices and put on bread. Just over the past 500 years, cheese at open sandwiches (smørrebrød) has become an integral part of the Danes' diet. The vast majority are currently sold vacuum packed in supermarkets.

Figures The consumption of cheese per. person in Denmark is approx. 14 kg per year and 5 kilo is Danbo. It is only eaten to a limited extent outside Denmark with a minor export to Germany and the Nordic countries.

NR. 10

Technology and characteristics Danbo is based on cow's milk and is a semi-solid, round holed cheese. Fat content is typically between 17-27 pct., and water content is 44%, max 46%. Shape is a square and the weight is between 2.5 to 15 kg. It got regular, round holes, and the texture is cutable.

Taste is mild and aromatic, and it is kit matured crust, or crust-free.

Manufacturing technology - historical and today Previously, Danbo cheese was made in cheesevessels either with hand stirring or machine stirring.

Today, most of the Danbo cheeses are manufactured in large closed machine tanks. Subsequently, the cheeses are shaped, pressed and salted more or less automatically. The largest and newest plants produce, store and pack Danbo cheese fully automatically.

Lurpak History Since 1901, Danish butter has been synonymous with Lurpak. A large number of cooperative dairies associated their forces in quality assurance of Danish butter, so especially in the lucrative British market, customers were guaranteed a unique quality. When the butter cask was provided with the lur mark, the quality was guaranteed 1st class.

Characteristics Cream is added milk cultures to give it a fresh, delicate flavour and creamy consistency. Finally, 1.2% salt is added. Lurpak is available in more special editions with herbs and Lurpak Spreadable.

the Middle East. The consumption of Lurpak butter in Denmark has been declining for a number of years, as spreadable blend products with the flagship Kærgården have become market leaders and with growing competition from butter in private labels.

In recent years, however, consumption of Lurpak butter has grown again.

The technology behind the product Previously, the quarry was in a churn, but today most of the Lurpak is produced on continuous lubricating machines, where the capacity is much higher.

Figures The export value of butter in 2017 was DKK 1.68 billion. Lurpak is mainly exported to the UK and

Minimælk History Minimælk (Mini milk) is a skimmed milk, that was introduced on the Danish market in 2001. For the first time in thirty years, a new type of milk was launched in the Danish market. After the introduction, the Mini milk in record time became the Danes' preferred milk type.

Characteristics Mini milk has a fat percentage of 0.4%. towards the skimmed milk's 0.1% Despite the low fat content, the milk has a rich milk flavor, which resembles semi skimmed milk (1.5%)

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2019

Figures On average, the Danes drink almost 84 liters of milk annually - or a total of DKK 480 million. kg. Statistically, no distinction is made between skimmed milk and Minimilk, but together these two lean milk types make up for almost 50 per cent of the total consumption.

No other countries has a correspondingly large share.

Västerbottensost® History Deep inside the premises at Burträsk Dairy, slightly hidden, is a safe that contains the secret recipe for Västerbottensost.® Exactly what has been inscribed on the papers encased in the folder entitled »1872«, is known to only a few.

Technology and characteristics It all started when dairy maid Ulrika Eleonora Lindström who in 1872 created the recipe which is the basis for the Västerbottensost® that we still eat today. First, the milk is pasteurized by fast heating and subsequent fast cooling. Then the milk is curdled to separate the whey and create a grainy curd, that is filled into the final round mold. The molds are 42 centimeters in diameter – larger than any other Swedish round cheese. This can be one of the explanations to the unique taste of the Västerbottensost®. The cheeses are put under pressure for approximately 18 hours,

along which they are turned by hand in accordance to a specific schedule. After pressing, the cheeses are put in brine until the desired surface, consistency, salt level and flavour is achieved.

To mature and develop its unique taste, all Västerbottensost® is ripened for at least 14 months. The storage, located in Ånäset in Västerbotten, has a cathedral like atmosphere to it. The 18 kg cheeses are stored in their molds and are turned daily for 22 days.

Finally, they are covered by paraffin for protection.

The cheeses are ready when they have been approved regarding taste, smell, texture and appearance on a 9-grade scale.

Figures Every year 140 000 cheeses are produced, all living up to the high standards of the Västerbottensost®.

Bregott History, characteristics and figures In 1969 Bregott was introduced on Swedish dinner tables. During the 60s refridgerators became more common, and for practical reasons butter was put in the fridge. As a concequence the butter became too hard to spread on a piece of bread.

A capable dairyman was hit by a flash of inspiration. He tried churning cream along with soy oil, resulting in a new product that was named Bregott.

Instantly spreadable when taken out of the fridge.

The first Bregott product was launched under the motto ”The only spread tasting of butter”. In 1971, Bregott with extra salt was introduced. During the 70s the brand grew slowly but surely, and in the early 80s Bregott became the most popular alternative for sandwich spread.

When light products hit the market and became popular during a few years, Bregott lost part of their market share, only to win it back in the early 90s. The soy

NR. 10

oil had then been replaced by softer and more nutritious rapeseed oil. People again valued products with less addings. Since Bregott only contained butter, rapeseed oil, cream and a pinch of salt, the new motto was ”Only natural ingredients”. In 1995 the famous Bregott factory with black and white cows in the starring role was launched. One of the most long lived and appriciated commercial concepts in Sweden. The development of new Bregott varieties is continously ongoing. In 1997 a new member joined the family: Bregott mellan with 60% fat. In 2001 organic Bregott came, and five years later the more luxurious Bregott with seasalt was introduced. In 2011 Bregott mindre, with lower fat content was launched.

Finland - by Juha Lundström, Chef Fromager, Arctic Milk Oy

Whey bread/Squeaky cheese History Squeaky cheese or whey bread – however so called – is a traditional Finnish roasted fromage frais that was originally made from reindeer milk in Lapland and from the colostrum of newly calved cows in Ostrobothnia and Kainuu. This product is also called coffee cheese in Lapland and the Tornio River valley in Sweden, where it was common to keep the cheese in cold storage or in a grain bin where it would dry out, after which the product was softened again in coffee.

Manufacturing technology Home made squeaky cheese prepared from colostrum was roasted over a glowing fire until speckled brown. Dairies and fromagerie establishments began making whey bread sometime around the 1980s using a range of proprietary manufacturing technologies rather like recipes.

The approach to manufacturing squeaky cheese applied at Arctic Milk Oy dates back to my grandmothers’ days at Haapavesi in the 1930s, and the tradition has remained in our family to the present day. I first made squeaky cheese

as a junior chef fromager at the plant in 1987, and this was the start of commercialising the special brand that now accounts for 80 per cent of our total output.

A fine and tasty squeaky cheese requires fresh, high quality milk and a precise approach from the manufacturer, as each production batch is unique. The cheeses pass through roasting ovens, where they gain their attractive brown-speckled appearance. They are cooled immediately after roasting, making them ready for vacuum packing.

Four large dairies manufacture squeaky cheese for the mass market in Finland, with another ten or so smaller fromagerie operators also making it for local markets.

Characteristics Squeaky cheese is a chewy cheese with a roasted brown speckled appearance that is made in various strengths and shapes, and according to the individual recipe of each manufacturer.

It is ideal for the coffee table, and as an accompaniment to soups and salads. Ingredients: milk, microbial rennet, salt.

Fat content: 17–23 %

Lactose-free dairy products

By Valio

History

Characteristics

Lactose is a natural carbohydrate in milk that is also called milk sugar. Lactose intolerance is a condition in which unabsorbed lactose causes digestive problems, such as diarrhoea, flatulence and bloating. The symptoms disappear when lactose is decreased or completely eliminated from the diet. This is where the lactose-free dairy products come in.

Over the past 20 years Valio has worked to deliver the widest selection of zero-lactose products across all dairy categories of any dairy company. Nowadays, lactose-free products range from fresh milk drinks snacks and cooking products to milk powders.

Valio’s lactose free brand Valio Eila has evolved over time from a medical solution brand to a premium taste position for all consumers, whether lactose intolerant or not. Today, almost 400 out of Valio’s 520 consumer products available in Finland, are lactose-free - both Eila and other brands. Valio also provides zero-lactose ingredient solutions such as milk powders and butter to food businesses around the world.

Manufacturing technology Traditional enzymatic technologies to produce low-lactose milks have been available for decades, but result in milks that are overly sweet. The Finnish dairy and food company Valio recognized that consumers want lactose-free solutions that don’t compromise on taste or the breadth of dairy products they can enjoy. They also wanted products that the whole family could enjoy.

Valio’s Nobel Prize-winning R&D centre in Helsinki, pioneered the development of zero-lactose milk that tastes exactly like regular milk. This milk, introduced in 2001, has the added benefit of reduced carbohydrates since it uses microfiltration to remove a portion of the offending lactose.

Kviteseid­smør Kviteseidsmør is built on traditions from Kviteseid in Telemark and is churned of sour cream in old fashioned manner. It is produced at TINE Meieriet Sør Setesdal, which is Norway's smallest dairy.

The butter is especially good for traditional foods such as cured meats and rake fish, for frying, on bread and in cooking because of their good taste and ability to bring out other flavors.

Snøfrisk®

Jarlsberg History The story of the cheese goes back to the 1950s. It all started in the small Norwegian village called Ås and a professor, Ole Martin Ystgaard, who was leading a long-term research project at the Dairy Institute at the Agricultural University of Norway. The project started in 1956 and continued for about 10 years until Professor Ystgaard decided that the development phase was complete. Under supervision of the Professor, they conducted cheesemaking experiments where they added bacterial culture to cheese milk.

The cheese was first sold at the Research Dairy’s shop as “Research cheese”, and then as “Extra cheese”. Only a few know the history of the name and it’s still a great mystery how and when it was finally decided that the name should be Jarlsberg®. What we do know is that the Ministry of Agriculture sanctioned an application for the name Jarlsberg® and the definition of the new cheese in 1957.

History Snøfrisk® cream cheese was launched during the Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway in 1994. The name translates as snow fresh, and it is soft enough to be used as a spread. It is sold in a triangular plastic packaging and comes in several flavours, including straight, juniper berry, dilland forest mushrooms.

Technology and characteristics Snøfrisk is made from 80 percent goat’s milk and 20 percent cow’s cream. The taste is tangy with a characteristic, mild taste of goat’s milk. No artificial colourants or preservatives are used. Snøfrisk® can be enjoyed on its own or used in everything from tapas and sandwiches to dips, salads, desserts, sauces and stews. Snøfrisk is white and creamy, without any yellow pigmentation.

NR. 10

Technology and characteristics Jarlsberg® is famous around the world for its distinctive sweet and nutty taste and its large, round holes. It is available with or without its distinctive rind. First the cheese making technique for producing Emmental cheese was used, without success. Later, by using the Research Dairy’s cheese vats, a good-quality cheese could be produced. These experiments led to the further development where the bacteria metabolism created large holes when added to Gouda cheese. It’s from this process that the famous Jarlsberg® holes were born. It was also the studies at the Dairy Institute that led to developing the concept of adding bacterial culture and making it work on a larger scale.

Today Jarlsberg is available in three versions: Original, Lite and Special Reserve.

In-line analysis and standardisation Plant optimisation in the dairy industry by high precision In-line analysis instruments.

The applications can be split into two different categories. One category can be classified as In-line standardisation, and the other category as batch standardisation with continuous correction measures.

In-line standardisation takes place by controlling flow rates and addition of ingredients (if any) to achieve a specified target on product specific parameters.

This process can be applied in standardisation of fat, protein and total solids directly from e.g. a pasteuriser or a blending system feeding an evaporator.

In batch standardisation applications, a continuous summation / integration of the product components, e.g. fat, protein and milk solids, takes place to form a uniquely defined batch.

This process can e.g. be applied for the standardisation of fat, protein and milk solids in a cheese milk tank.

Dairy plants are getting more and more complex and at the same time the demands for fully flexible production schedules with rapid recipe changeover in the process equipment are constantly increasing.

New and improved technologies for In-line measurement and analysis of product components in real-time provides new opportunities for optimising on tolerances and production processes.

A good number of process applications taking advantage of the new generation of analysis instruments have been implemented by Au2mate, in Denmark as well as abroad.

Moving forward, Au2mate strive to be a proactive partner in the continuous optimisation of the dairies.

Arla Foods gains one week’s extra production with ohmic heating Great savings and optimisation of processes at Arla Foods have been achieved by using ohmic heating in the production of cream cheese. The solution has given the dairy one extra week of production each year.

In its cream-cheese process, Arla Foods is dependent on a temperature of 68 °C at the tap. This is ensured by using Ohmic heating, where electricity is led through the cream cheese in isolated tubes (at the top of the picture).

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2019

By Suna Koop, Marketing Coordinator, Alflow

Arla Foods uses so-called ohmic heating, which ensures that the cream cheese has exactly the right temperature when it is poured into the packaging. With ohmic heating, a medium's conductivity – resistance – is utilised to create an energyefficient, fast and accurate heating by leading electricity through the cream cheese, which is in an isolated tube.

In its cream-cheese process, Arla Foods is dependent on a temperature of 68 °C. Previously, Arla Foods used a steam-heated, scraped-surface heat exchanger for that process, but had to overheat the cheese up to about 78 °C to be sure to keep it 68 °C at the tap.

The safety margin of 10 °C is of course a waste of energy compared to hitting the 68 ° C more precisely, and this can be done with ohmic heating.

Ohmic heating has much higher energy efficiency than the steam-heated process and it compensates for the high electricity price.

- The price for steam is lower per kW than for electricity, but with an efficiency of 98 percent in ohmic heating, the difference is leveled out, says Martin Kjærgaard, project manager at Arla Foods.

Normally, electricity will be too expensive for heating in a production process, which is why companies normally do not use electricity for that type of process, but with ohmic heating, the odds change in favor of electricitybased heating.

- Now, we save energy because it is no longer necessary to have temperatures up to 90 °C in the steam process.

Although the ohmic heating plants use electricity, we save net energy because of the reduced need for excess steam heating, Martin Kjærgaard explains.

NR. 10

Two-year repayment The use of ohmic heating has given a markedly improved process with fewer stops and reduced cooling and reheating of cream cheese. Estimated annual production has increased by 600-800 tons which correspond to one week's extra production of cream cheese a year, so the repayment is less than two years.

Actually, the energy saving was not part of the original business case.

- The purpose of using ohmic heating was to optimise product quality and quality assurance by optimising the process and avoiding production stops because the cheese sometimes became too cold when draining the scrapedsurface heat exchanger. Then we would end up with cheese with a temperature of maybe 50 °C, which then had to be drained and cooled down before being reheated. If you can heat up the cheese to the required 68 °C each time it has to be drained, it obviously means both a

great energy saving on reduced cooling and reheating in addition to saved time in the process. Today, we have a much better flow in the process, less waste and less cooling and reheating. The result is an increased production, says Martin Kjærgaard.

- The business case is advantageous – even without the energy savings – due to the optimised process without so many stops, he continues. Due to the great success with ohmic heating, Arla now uses ohmic heating – not only to maintain the temperature, but also to replace their scraped-surface heat exchanger, which means using ohmic heating throughout the heating phase.

Better microbiology The uniform temperature in the process is also beneficial for the microbacterial process in the cream cheese and thus for the content of vitamins and proteins which are better preserved with the more stable and lower temperature.

High efficiency and a more environmentally friendly production - The advantage of ohmic heating is that it is a very fast, energy-efficient and precise way of heating a medium compared to a steam process. It has an efficiency of at least 98 percent because the only energy loss is in the power supply. Being able to optimise your process to the equivalent of an extra week's production annually ought to put a smile on your lips, says Morten Kaasen, product manager at Alflow, who has delivered the technical solution to Arla Foods.

- If your company wants a greener production, ohmic heating can also be a good alternative, as it can significantly reduce kW consumption due to the higher efficiency of ohmic heating, adds Morten Kaasen.

Optimise your processes and save money with ohmic heating BENEFITS: • Short processing times • No contact with hot surfaces • Homogeneous heating which ensures high quality level of the finished product

By Anna Hoffmann, Communication Partner, Corporate Communication.

the industry as well as end consumers, says Kristian Elsborg, vice president of Global Sales in North Europe, Chr. Hansen.

It all started with rennet

Chr. Hansen is a leading, global bioscience company, developing natural ingredient solutions for the food, nutritional, pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. The company has been in the business for over 145 years with dairy as one of their main areas, and they continue to develop culture and enzyme solutions that actively contribute to improving the quality of food and health for people all over the world.

- We are proud to be a market leader in food cultures and enzymes, using nature’s own resources. A lot has happened since we entered the bioscience field, and we are proud to have created growth and innovation to the benefit of

16

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2019

Chr. Hansen’s first rennet factory opened in 1874. Pure rennet enzyme from calves’ stomachs were extracted with the purpose of coagulating milk. Something the world had never seen before, and it became groundbreaking within cheesemaking.

Since then, Chr. Hansen has developed tremendously within the dairy area: From the introduction of the first DVS® starter cultures in 1974 – providing dairies with a much faster milk acidification and higher quality – to their newest culture launch with Sweety® Y-1 in 2019 – a solution that naturally converts existing sugars in milk, allowing for reduced levels of added sugar. Today, Chr. Hansen offers dairy manufacturers a wide selection of cultures and enzymes along with application expertise across dairy product types in cheese and fresh fermented foods.

- Our long-term experience and focused research within the dairy industry have resulted in continued innovations and launches of new products. Today, our range of food cultures and enzymes includes solutions for fresh dairy, cheese, meat and fish, fermented plant bases and our newest area; fermented beverages. We also offer solutions within test and equipment with the purpose of aiding dairy manufacturers in their food production, explains Elsborg.

Products backed by science since 1874 Research and development have always been a cornerstone of the Chr. Hansen business. It takes its starting point by understanding nature’s processes and applying this knowledge to improve food and health.

- Science is the backbone of our company, enabling us to offer innovative solutions to the market. And we are fortunate to have world-class scientists working on our broad range of cultures, covering more than 30,000 microbial strains, says Thomas Schäfer, chief scientific officer in Research & Development, Chr. Hansen.

- Our culture range enables us to screen and select the best available combinations of strains, transforming them into safe and high-quality solutions that truly make a difference for both our customer and end consumers, Schäfer adds.

An example is the Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG® strain. This probiotic strain has been studied in more than 300 clinical studies and is described in more than 1,200 scientific publications, making it one of the world’s best-documented probiotics.

Pursuing a sustainable future With a pioneering mindset in science and innovation, Chr. Hansen continues to tap into today’s food trends, delivering natural and sustainable ingredient solutions while adapting to an everchanging market.

NR. 10

In response to the increasing focus on food waste, the FreshQ® culture range enables a significant reduction of yogurt waste by prolonging the shelflife of products. Chr. Hansen refers to this as ‘bioprotection’, where nature’s own good bacteria are used to keep dairy products naturally fresh for longer. Using bioprotective cultures helps dairy manufacturers to produce safer food solutions, improving quality while

reducing food waste – without compromising consumer demands for natural food with fewer artificial ingredients.

- We want to contribute sustainably to the industries by uncovering and exploring areas where we keep up with consumer needs and market demands.

By collaborating with customers and partners to innovate products and processes, we strive to meet and create future demand for innovative natural

solutions that advance food, health and productivity for the benefit of us all, concludes Elsborg.

Make sure it stays the way you made it Keep it great ! with FreshQ®

FreshQ® are natural food cultures specifically selected to protect dairy products against yeast and mold spoilage.

Process Solutions based on Vibration Technology GEA Scan-Vibro A/S is an expert and global partner within vibration technology.

Customer designed sifters, conveyors and feeders are built and are in operation at many dairy plants all over the world.

By Poul Vadstrup, Sales Groupe Manager, GEA Scan-Vibro A/S

For more than 70 years, GEA Scan-Vibro has been a worldwide supplier of customer designed vibration technologies.

Focus has always been on tailor made quality solutions, and we are constantly prepared to listen and co-operate with our customer.

One of the success factors is to clarify the technologies required to facilitate development of a new process solution.

An example of our success and sustaina-

ble development is vibration equipment for grated frozen mozzarella cheese.

Horisontal and vertical transportation In 2018 GEA Scan-Vibro delivered in total 19 vibration units to Fonterra (NZ) for spreading out the grated mozzarella cheese before the freezer and for transport of the frozen grated mozzarella cheese through the entire factory until the multihead weighers The transport is both horizontal and vertical through the new production facilities.

After the frozen cheese is collected in a vibration tray feeder it is transported in vibration tube conveyors to the first of 3 vibration spiral elevators. The first spiral elevator lifts the cheese 5 meters up to the next level and afterward it continues in tube conveyors to a sorting line. After this point the cheese is transported to two spiral elevators each with a lift of 5.5 meters, in total 11 meters up to the next process level.

On its onward way in vibration tube conveyors to the multihead weighers the cheese passes our newly developed and patented vibration circular distributor type CDF - please see below illustration.

The purpose of this unit is to distribute the frozen cheese into 4 tube conveyors, either into one, two, three or all four at a time.

View into the inside of the inline bucket filler GRUNWALD-FLEXLINER XL UC: The ultra-modern UV(C) sterilisation area (on the right of the photo), filling station with weigh cell (middle) and cutting/sealing station with film sterilisation (on the left).

Maximum hygiene level without use of peroxide Natural products, avoidance of chemical additives and the necessity to protect the environment is in perfect harmony with the hygienic solutions in the new generation of cup- and bucket fillers from GRUNWALD. The trade and consumers increasingly demand extremely long shelf lives for the products from the dairy and food industry – even for highly sensitive products. These long shelf lives can only be achieved if the products are filled at a guaranteed maximum hygiene level and if techniques are used which reliably sterilise the surfaces of food packages (cups, buckets, lids and film). So far, the

20

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2019

sterilisation with conventional, chemical methods such as hydrogen peroxide was very reliable and widely used. Even if the general trend has been towards a heavy reduction of cleaning and sterilisation agents for several years this still means that chemicals are used for the sterilisation of packing materials.

The market requirements for natural products, the avoidance of chemical additives and the necessity to protect the environment inevitably leads to putting into question this sterilisation system.

To encourage a re-thinking Since the successful damage claim in the Monsanto legal proceedings in the USA in August of this year many people have become aware of the fact that the production of foodstuffs involves a lot of risks.

It is an open secret that the machine operators are exposed to a significant health risk as long as peroxide is used for the disinfection of packaging material. This is especially true for workers at the older cup and bucket filling machines. The involuntarily bleached hair and eyebrows of the workers operating these machines often show the impacts of peroxide.

But what is going to happen if the first doctor attests the health risks of peroxide? If the work council will demand to invest in other technologies in order to avoid the often enormous contamination?

Isn’t it high time to realise that disinfection with peroxide is a dead-end technology and that it is time to stop it and choose a healthy, acceptable alternative for ultramodern and economic disinfection proceedings?

NR. 10

The alternative!

With the hygienic solution developed by GRUNWALD several years ago already new standards in terms of hygiene have set. The pulsed light high-performance UV(C) sterilisation we have been using verifiably guarantees a sterilisation rate of at least LOG 4 with cups and seal lids.

The biggest advantage of this reliable sterilisation system without the use of peroxide was tested and verified by several independent German institutes: it works completely without chemicals and it does not have any impact on the environment and staff. Thus also the problem with the overdosage of chemicals has been solved!

Another big advantage is that the pulsed light high-performance UV(C) sterilisation can be used for all standard cups and buckets of the food industry.

New machine generation What is good for cups comes in handy for buckets!

Our latest development – the inline bucket filler GRUNWALD FLEXLINER XL UC – is another milestone of the development of bucket filling machines.

This inline machine combines with ergonomics and the innovative ultraclean design.The further development of the pulsed light high-performance UV(C) sterilisation system which has already been well-proven on Grunwald cup fillers resulted in a patented procedure which also guarantees a sterilisation rate of at least LOG 4 for buckets (up to 10 litres). And most importantly the ultraclean design and the UV(C) packing material sterilisation is also available for our rotary-type bucket fillers type HITTPAC XL and ROTARY XL. Grunwald is also guaranteeing a sterilisation rate of at least LOG 4 for them – even for bucket sizes up to 10 litres!

So far this ultra-modern and efficient sterilisation system was only considered to be a supplement to the peroxide sterilisation. Now it is time for rethinking

Both with customers who have successfully been using this innovation for a long time and GRUNWALD are convinced that the pulsed light highperformance UV(C) sterilisation is THE trendsetting technology of the future.

Therefore GRUNWALD is going to use exclusively the peroxide-free solution from 2019 onward – that is the pulsed light high-performance UV(C) sterilisation – for sterilising cups and buckets on their rotary-type and inline machines.

LP Kolding meets challenges in hygienically design of skyr tanks LP Kolding has great experience in process optimization within the production of dairy products by delivering tanks to the industry.

By Mogens FeldAndreasen, Manager at LP Kolding

LP Kolding (LPK) has more the 50 years of experience within construction and delivery of stainless steel tanks - both atmospheric tanks and pressurized tanks for the food Industry. Last year at this time we could tell, that we had just developed a new washing cabin, based om CIP technology (Cleaning In Place) to a German costumer. The cabin was specially designed to clean transportable tanks for food products. The

22

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2019

development was done in collaboration with a German specialist in CIP plants and in close contact with the costumer.

The cleaning cabin provides a full automatic wash both inside and outside of tanks or containers in a volume from 10 to about 2,500 litres. The washing cycle per tank varies from 3 to 5 minutes.

It is possible to run the wash with different detergents, and the cabin is delivered as a complete CE marked unit with the necessary safety precautions.

Skyr tanks in hygienically design Latest news this year — apart from business as usual, meaning delivering tanks to all over the world— we have designed and manufactured six 34 m3 fermenter tanks and three 28m3 buffer tanks for producing Skyr.

Because of the very high content of protein as well as the high viscosity, we were very much challenged on the hygienically design on the agitators and the inside construction of the tanks. During the CIP of the tanks any shadow would immediately be revealed, which means

that we also need to design CIP from the bottom of the tanks. No dead legs must occur, and all nozzle must be designed to be flush with the inside surface.

During the past year we have also had many other exiting projects, e.g design and delivering a complete plant for broth to Russia through our German customer, delivering horizontal tanks with agitators for oat milk in hygienically design to Sweden, three 60 m3 storage tanks with agitators for fish industry in Norway.

LP Kolding – the steel tanks Apart from the skyr tanks LP Kolding primary business is construction and delivery of tanks in stainless steel. Pressurerized tanks are custom made with a PED approval in accordance with 2014/68/EU, which makes them meet current EU safety standards for function, material design, manufacturing process and current tests.

LP Kolding has special skills within the manufacture of pressure tanks such as: Fermenters, mixer tanks, graft containers, process tanks, tube heat exchangers, sterilized tanks, tanks for compressed-air as well as vacuum tanks and boilers.

We clarify the requirements for the processing tank as regards design, number of valves, agitator, cooling-/heating jacket as well as various applications and measuring equipment. In addition, we clarify the requirements to strength, insulation and sheeting depending on the placing of the tank and we also handle the final installation and subsequent the documentation.

Complete systems made as units at LP Kolding include: Pasteurizing units, mixer units, fermentation systems, evaporators, powder pumps, drying chambers as well as churns and pressure filters, all turnkey units ready for installation at the dairy or wherever they are needed.

GRIP FIX – Palletizing adhesivestest facilities GRIP FIX anti-slip agents are watersoluble, solvent-free adhesives for securing pallet loads. The pallet loads may be PE bags, paper bags, cartons, cellophane-packed items, PP woven bags or small packages.

HMJ offers safety systems based on GRIP FIX palletizing adhesives.

Bag-fix combiguns

How does GRIP FIX work?

GRIP FIX is applied in small quantities to the pallet loads before they are palletized. After minimal drying time, the pallets become stable and remains so until they are unloaded.

What is the secret to all this? High shear strength and very low peeling strength. The pallet loads do not slip and the packages can be easily separated.

In general, GRIP FIX leaves no residue after depalletizing.

How to use GRIP FIX? Using GRIP FIX is straightforward

owing to our quick-connector system.

Regardless of whether our palletizing adhesives is supplied from a canister or a drum, the container can be connected very easily to the system with the quick connector. This produces a closed system where no dirt can enter the container, and the anti-slip agent remains uncontaminated and does not dry out. In addition, refilling is unnecessary. Another advantage depending upon your requirements: we supply our GRIP FIX in a range of container sizes from 1 kg. hand-held bottles through to 1.000 kg. containers.

International FOOD Contest - a Mecca for dairy people International FOOD Contest 1.-3. October in MCH, Herning – in synergy with hi Tech & Industry Scandinavia

Danish Dairy Industry has long and strong traditions for exhibitions and awardings of dairy products. This is to intensify the awareness of quality among the professionals, who meet several times a year in this context.

International FOOD Contest is the biggest of its kind in Scandinavia, and 1,000 – 1,500 products are assessed, awarded and exhibited with the possibility to taste and experience almost all products.

You also find several foreign products in the exhibition, which also shows a special selection of gourmet products and a smaller selection of other food products than dairy. Finally, the exhibition offers several lectures and seminars about different and current dairy topics.

- International FOOD Contest is a unique meeting place for the whole food sector. It is a place, where professionals learn from each other and a great option for product innovation, but also a possibility to recognize the work of colleagues and competitors.

MMS Nordic new office in Silkeborg

MMS ready for a new generation of membrane filtration technology MMS Nordic is expanding the activities in the Nordic countries and sees the need for a new filtration technology to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint.

MMS Nordic has gained a good foothold in Denmark, operating within a variety of industries and membrane filtration applications. With a current staff of four in Denmark, we are now hiring

28

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2019

additional membrane filtration experts and have moved to a new, prominent office at Randersvej 2A in Silkeborg, close to the freeway.

At the gate of the Nordic countries, MMS Nordic now ensures easy access to the innovative and inspiring environment of MMS AG in Switzerland, who has extensive experience with the separation, fractionation, purification, and concentration of all sizes of molecules for dairy, food, beverage, pharma, biotech, and industrial water applications.

Nordic presence MMS Nordic has recently teamed up with Thinkflow Oy in Kerava Finland to get even closer to Finnish customers.

Thinkflow was founded in 2002 and has developed steadily throughout the years.

The company’s expertise in the food industry dates back to the beginning of 1979, and consequently, the customer base is well established and industry knowledge is profound. Thinkflow is a sales oriented and entrepreneurial family owned organization. They focus on customer satisfaction, providing

NR. 10

expert advice, fast service and the best solutions to help its customers become more competitive. Thinkflow supplies products from the world's leading component and equipment manufacturers to the food, dairy, beverage, biotech, pulp & paper, and pharmaceutical industries, developing cost-effective processes based on their experience and know-how.

MMS Nordic is currently also looking for possible cooperation partners to strengthen representation in Norway and Sweden.

Concentrated, fermented dairy products Many traditional Nordic dairy products like quark, cream cheese, yogurt, ymer and most recently also skyr are today widely manufactured by means of membrane filtration.

Initially, the solid content in sweet whole milk was raised slightly by means of ultrafiltration, followed by fermentation and traditional processing into yogurt and ymer.

In the late 70s, DDS (De Danske Sukkerfabrikker) invented a specially designed membrane support plate capable of handling high viscous liquids. With this new invention, it was possible to make fermented dairy products like quark and cream cheese using ultrafiltration instead of separators. This was a much simpler process, which at the same time increased yield due to more whey protein being retained by the membrane.

Over the years, ultrafiltration has been the most commonly used technology to produce a wide range of this type of dairy products. Over the last 40 years, new types of fermented, concentrated dairy products have been developed and introduced to the markets. At the same time, consumption has sky-rocketed.

Thanks to membrane filtration the original time-consuming process using whey drainage from bags has been turned into a highly automated, high-capacity and continuous process.

However, one downside of using ultrafiltration for this purpose, is the

massive energy consumption required to overcome the substantial pressure drop caused by the high viscosity of the products.

Time for a change Nonetheless, the 40-year old invention is still state-of-the-art technology. At MMS we believe it is time for a change.

A couple of very interesting alternatives to the good old Module 37 are close to commercial breakthrough. Founder of DSS and MMS Nordic, Niels Osterland, was involved in applying the Module 37 to dairy products almost 40 years ago.

At that time, energy consumption and climate changes had far less focus than today. The aim of the new concepts is to reduce energy consumption significantly, thereby contributing to lower CAPEX and OPEX, as well as a reduced carbon footprint.

Sustainable Development Goals in Practice Sustainability is rapidly becoming a mega-trend in the food and beverage industry, and many global companies are incorporating United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals into their corporate strategies. However, only few businesses have the tools to successfully incorporate these goals in their daily operation.

NIRAS SDG TOOLS AND METHODS By Søren Nøhr Bak, Rolf Pedersen & Morten Aae Olander, NIRAS

Not so many years ago sustainability in the Food & Beverage industry was a topic that mainly concerned the CSR departments. Now this has changed.

From being a fringe phenomenon, sustainability has grown into a global mega-trend.

Many companies have incorporated selected Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their corporate strategy and communicate their intend to become more sustainable. But most of these companies face difficulties when it comes to implementing their SDG strategy in their processes. Apart from

a small percentage, most businesses have not identified the necessary tools to assess their impact against the SDGs and to incorporate the SDG strategies in daily operation.

Why the Sustainable Development Goals?

In 2015 all 193 member states of the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals to strive for ‘peace and prosperity for people and the planet’. The goals are ‘an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership’.

In NIRAS we have chosen to work with the SDGs in the services we offer. Two tools are typically used to support projects and customers in the work with SDG programs: NIRAS Capture – is a tool, which is used to follow the development of a project to ensure that the objectives are met. This is a tool, which has been used within the international development segment for many projects.

NIRAS SDG Audit – is a methodology and a tool set with which improvement initiatives are identified and assessed in a customised matter from an economic, resource efficiency and sustainability perspective. All improvements are ranked in terms of their financial impact as well as their SDG impact.

They are aimed at ending poverty, improving health and education, reducing inequality, and spurring economic growth, while tackling climate change and environmental destruction.

The SDGs are strongly linked to the “Triple bottom Line” concept of balancing interests in 3 dimensions: Economy, Social and Environment.

The balance means that all dimensions need to be sustainable. So changes relate to social and environmental dimensions and not the economic will not be sustainable.

What does it mean for the Food & Beverage industry?

The SDG work in a company would normally begin by identifying which goals the organization want to improve and have an impact on. While each company has its individual reason for selecting a focus, a clear pattern emerges regarding the SDG focus areas that have been selected by some of the global dairy brands.

The majority of the surveyed dairy companies identified SDGs 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15 and 17 as most relevant for their business. However, there is still a difference from having selected corporate goals to having them integrated on an operational level.

How to make the goals operational?

When a company decides to make the SDGs operational, it will have to align development projects and daily operation with the SDGs. NIRAS has recently been assisting two clients in precisely this sort of SDG transition process: A company evaluated impact by producing with late customisation of products and a more flexible warehouse set-up. By assessing the production set-up, the company was capable of reducing the number of change-overs through the different departments. By having longer product series the loss of product, consumption of detergents,

energy and water were reduced. In addition, the productivity of the plant was increased with reduced complexity.

Another company was concerned with the discharge of wastewater to a large recipient and the potential impact of updating their wastewater handling. At the same time, a low cost for water and wastewater treatment had meant that the focus on resource optimisation had been neglected. With a short-time survey it was possible to identify a number of internal initiatives, which will result in savings on product loss, energy and water, but also opportunities to turn considered loss into product. This will reduce the discharge significantly, and thereby also reduce the need for an investment in wastewater handling.

In order to substantiate the assessment of SDGs for projects, NIRAS has developed a tool that will allow for specific identification of sub-goal and the impact generated by a specific project. The tool is freely available through NIRAS. Other advanced project tools and methods that are introduced by NIRAS to address the challenges that most companies confront in relation to implementing SDGs are shown in the textbox.

There seems to be little doubt that increased consumer awareness and political change towards sustainability will increasingly influence all industries, including food and beverage. Therefore, implementing SDG strategies can prove crucial to securing the future prosperity of the companies in this sector.

Tetra Pak membrane filtration – a game changer The more than 60-year membrane technology continues to contribute to innovation. Combined with Tetra Pak’s initiatives such as a water competence center and strategic partnerships, the technology can help improve dairies’ green profile and create new, highly refined products.

By Susanne Greve, Sales Director, Tetra Pak Filtration Solutions

Since the Danish Sugar Factories began experimenting with membrane filtration in the 1960s, the technology has undergone rapid development. Today, the technology is an integral part of many dairy processes because it can precisely separate the milk components, thus offering the dairies opportunities to combine them into new products and expand their markets.

Lactose-free milk, cost-efficient production of skyr, concentrated yoghurt, feta cheese, and a wide range of ingredients have seen the light of day due to membrane filtration. And the development continues.

We are going to see even more specialty products, e.g. with increased protein content, and further refinement of ingredients for the food industry based on whey and milk, which is our core

business – and a fast-growing market.

Also, we examine the possibilities of filtrating plant-based drinks.

In-house Water Competence Center The dairy industry is a heavy user of water. The old, small dairies, which in most cases are history now, were located close to streams for easy access to fresh water and drainage of sewage. How­ ever, as dairies grow and are challenged by more environmental requirements, focus on sustainability is increasing.

Milk consists of 87 % water, and the Nordic dairies are now good at exploiting the surplus water they generate. Worldwide, however, there are untapped opportunities for saving water; especially in countries where the cost of drinking water and wastewater is high.

Food safety legislation in relation to water recycling in the production is, however, a challenge in many countries, as the legislation has not kept up with the technological development. Therefore, we have established a water competence center, which focuses on servicing our customers with sustainable solutions, an important part of which is optimizing water consumption.

Continuous optimization creates new opportunities The heart of the filtration technology is the membranes. In the 1960s, plate and frame membranes were the preferred

solution. Today, they are used primarily for high-viscosity products, while spiral-wound membranes, which were introduced a few decades later, generally is the preferred solution. Both types are continuously tested and optimized.

Part of the test is to install different suppliers' membranes with customers and follow the output over time. The test provides Tetra Pak with the data needed to choose the right membrane and thereby optimize the utilization of the raw material and membrane life. In the future, we will see even more precise membrane pores leading to higher efficiency.

There is no indication that competing technologies will replace the membrane technology. In return, there is a need to complement the technology with others such as chromatography and electrodialysis to offer the food industry opportunities to develop still more sophisticated products. In other words, projects are becoming more complex.

Therefore, we have established strategic partnerships with other technology suppliers.

As part of Tetra Pak, we also provide end-to-end solutions and thus have a large interface with the market. This is an advantage both when it comes to building new dairies as well as in connection with counseling of existing dairies.

And on all fronts, Tetra Pak is working on innovation and sustainability along the value chain.

About Tetra Pak • Tetra Pak has more than 25,000 employees.

• Customers are served locally by market companies in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Oceania, and the US. • Membrane filtration can be installed in all dairies, either for production of specialty recipes or for reuse of water from various product streams.

Malmö will be the host for the 45th Nordic Dairy Congress. Chairman is Bengt Palmqvist, who also chairs the chairmanship of Mejeritekniskt Forum, which is the interest group of Swedish dairy people. And he is quite excited about the coming event.

- I am happy, that we can contribute to the great tradition among Nordic dairy people meeting to exchange knowledge and to establish network. I think this is an important contribution to the very high level of dairy skills, which is characteristic of all Nordic countries, Bengt Palmqvist says. He hopes, that the coming conference can continue a very positive spirit from the last conference in 2017.

- In Copenhagen I experienced lectures at a high level, and I had the impression, that the participants were very engaged to collect new knowledge. Further

Congress theme: ’Dairy opportunities of tomorrow’ The two days of presentations and debate are driven by the sustainability agenda that the dairy industry as well the rest of the world is facing these years. The common tread in the programme is a relevant selection of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the programme reflects how the dairy industry can view and exploit the challenge as an opportunity to develop the business. At the same time this must be a part of the solution when it comes to the climate, hunger, better health and well-being etc. The detailed programme will be launched in the autumn 2019.

on the network possibilities were well organized with breaks in the program and several social activities, where you could take care of your contacts. I must say, that the Danish organizers really have strong traditions around networking, the chairman says.

He also saw good interaction between participants and the sponsors having stands at the congress.

- I think the sponsors had a great exposure and different competitions encouraged participants to visit all stands, Bengt Palmqvist says. The share of young people in Copenhagen was also very satisfying, and Palmqvist hopes to see the new generations of dairy employees in Malmö, since it is quite easy for Danes and the rest of the Nordic countries to reach the congress.

- The congress is perfectly situated close to Kastrup Airport and the railway station in Malmö, which makes the logistics very simple, he says.

AgroSoft is ready for the food industry - We do not do rocket science but we may have invented a smart way to make software, says Jesper Toft, consultant of the optimization program WinOpti from AgroSoft.

AgroSoft has more than 30 years of experience in developing software for the agricultural sector but its optimization program WinOpti has in recent years been top-tuned for the food industry in a broad sense.

- We have a 100 percent operational optimization program for the food industry. We are on the other side of development and trials. The challenge is to get some of the agricultural dust shaken off so that the food industry may recognize us, says M. Sc Agric. Jesper Toft, consultant of WinOpti.

One of the food companies that discovered AgroSoft's program WinOpti al-

most ten years ago is Arla Foods Ingredients (AFI). And it is, among other things, through close cooperation between the software and ingredient company the program has been adapted to the food industry's special working methods, values and requirements.

Development in collaboration with AFI The collaboration began in 2009 when WinOpti was introduced to AFI primarily for recipe and ingredient management. It has since been developed to document traceability of ingredients, packaging and auxiliaries down to the

- It is a flexible system, quick and easy to use. It is logically structured. The calculations are credible and you can search on virtually all data, says Niels Rauhe, and he adds the advantage that AFI's application center in Argentina also uses WinOpti so you can follow each other's work and have access to the same data.

- Before we introduced WinOpti we searched the market. We tried at least 10 different systems but AgroSoft won, he says.

The first year of the collaboration was used to develop the system for food specifically for AFI - including converting the old IT system to WinOpti.

Since WinOpti's implementation, the program has been developed and expanded several times. Most recently the water loss feature has been added and you can now among other things calculate the nutrient content of a wet product to be dried as for example an infant formula.

According to Jesper Toft WinOpti is the only company on the market with this feature and is a concrete development project for which AFI has a large part of the credit.

- The collaboration takes place in the way that AFI says; we want to work in this or that way, how can we do it?

A chocolate box with many options.

WinOpti is - in addition to AFI - used in a couple of other Danish food producers, and Niels Rauhe can only see the benefits of the system becoming widespread in the industry so that the synergies can be exploited.

Even though WinOpti is customized to the needs of AFI right now, new things are constantly happening in the food industry. For example there is currently a great focus on nutritional values and the declarations thereof.

AFI's experimental center started with 20 different nutritional values in its system, but is just about to upgrade to 25, says Niels Rauhe.

- For example wework with more than 100 infant formulas, he adds.

Jesper Toft says that in addition to the regular portfolio WinOpti contains a number of functionalities that have been developed for the feed industry.

For example it applies a handling system for dangerous goods and the possibility to transfer recipes directly to the production computer, the financial system or the web service.

- We have three or four big things that are dormant in the system and can be activated if there is interest and needs, Jesper Toft says and ends: In principle, it is like a can of mixed chocolates that you can dive into and find what you need.

Ren luft – fri for mugg og gjær med naturens egen rensemetode Med ionisering kan FHS Scandinavia stort sett eliminere meieriets luftbårne kontamineringsrisiko – en effektiv metode for å kontrollere uønsket mugg og gjær ved meierier.

Ren luft er det beste utgangspunktet for å redusere mugg, gjær og bakterier i produksjonen. I naturen skjer det bl.a. ved hjelp av UVC-strålingen i sollyset, som naturlig skaper ioner i luften. Ved hjelp av ioniseringsteknologien gjenskapes denne prosessen innendørs, og har vist seg å være meget effektiv innen meieribransjen, der luftbåren kontaminering utgjør en stor risiko.

Overbevisende resultater med ionisering

Sikkerhet og store besparelser

FHS Scandinavia har i samarbeid med flere meierier oppnådd overbevisende resultater ved bruk av ionisering. Resultatene viser seg i f.eks. modningsrom hos meierier, der det hindrer mugg og gjær på ost som ligger til lagring før pakning.

Oddvin Drøpping fra Tine Heimdal, uttaler: «Etter å ha installert ionisering fra Airgenic i ventilasjonsanlegget, har vi opplevd meget store forbedringer i luftprøver. Vi har unngått uønskede avvik – også i perioder der klimaet utendørs normalt viser økt antall muggsporer.

Forbedringene i prøvene kom umiddelbart etter montering og har holdt seg på det nivået hittil. Samtidig føles luften inne i fabrikken ren og frisk, som gir et bedre arbeidsklima».

- Når vi anbefaler å anvende ionisering, henger det sammen med sikkerhet og store besparelser for matvarevirksomheter – det er imidlertid viktig å nevne at ikke alle problemstillinger løses med ionisering, m en det er en godt sted å starte, da bakteriefri luft er det beste utgangspunktet for å redusere mugg, gjær og bakterier i produksjonen, uttaler Fred Sørensen hos FHS Scandinavia, og fortsetter: - Vår målsetning for løsninger er å finne den løsningen som gjør det mulig å opprettholde samme bakterietallsnivå ved produksjonsstopp, som virksomheten har etter rengjøring. Og dette helt uten dyr stopp eller begrensning av produksjonsprosessen. Det er derfor

Fakta om Airgenic-prosessen

English Summary:

• Airgenic aktiverer de naturlige +/- atomene i oksygenmolekylene og skaper en energirik balanse av ioner i luften.

• Prosessen er identisk med naturens egen metode for å oppnå optimal luftkvalitet.

• Et aktivert luftmolekyl bekjemper mugg, gjær, bakterier og lukt.

FHS Scandinavia ensures clean air with the nature's own cleaning method With ionization, FHS Scandinavia can virtually eliminate the dairy's airborne contamination risk - an effective method for controlling unwanted mold and yeast without the use of chemicals.

Two dairies (Tine Heimdal and FANAOST) have achieved significant improvements in their air quality with low germ content, which has reduced the cost of cleaning and disinfection.

FHS Scandinavia has installed around 400 ionization plants in Scandinavia and sees increasing demand in this area.

Med ionisering installert i modningsrom, har Fanaost spart én dag i uken for to medarbeidere til å rengjøre mot mugg. Samtidig har de redusert svinn og reklamasjoner betydelig.

vi kaller hygieneløsningene våre for kjemikaliefri dekontaminering 24 timer i døgnet mens produksjonen kjører.

Hos Ostegården, som har blitt kåret til verdens beste av FANAOST, forteller daglig leder Jørn Hafslun at de har spart én dag i uken for to medarbeidere, til å rengjøre mot mugg, samt redusert svinn og reklamasjoner betydelig, etter at de fikk installert ionisering fra FHS Scandinavia.

I dag har FHS Scandinavia installert omkring 400 ioniseringsanlegg i Skandinavia, og opplever en stigende etterspørsel på dette området.

Bærekraftige løsninger uten kjemikalier FHS Scandinavia har 20 års erfaring med å finne løsninger som er både økonomiske og miljøvennlige og forbedrer virksomhetens mikrobiologiske nivå, og i tillegg til ionisering har vi løsninger med UVC-lys, ozon og antibakterielle gulvbelegg. Derfor har vi oppbygget solide erfaringer omkring optimering av hygieneløsninger, som er et viktig fokus for å leve opp til de strengere kravene som samfunnet stiller til matvareindustrien. Også politikere, detaljvare-virksomheter og forbrukere har økt fokus på miljø og bærekraft i produksjonen.

Derfor benytter FHS Scandinavia desinfeksjonsløsninger helt uten kjemikalier mens produksjonen pågår og utfordringene ofte er størst – og bruker med andre ord naturens egne løsninger med UVC-lys, ozon, ionisering og antibakterielle gulvbelegg.

Farvel til Lillebælt Mejeri De sidste medarbejdere på Lillebælt Mejeri (Arla) har taget afsked med deres arbejdsplads i Fredericia.

De sidste oste forlod i uge 22 Lillebælt Mejeri. Dermed sluttede en æra i dansk mejerihistorie, efter at det hæderkronede mejeri har været i funktion siden 1902. De seneste 13 år har været med Arla som ejer – og med produktion af hvidskimmeloste i Castello-serien.

Det er nu to år siden, at Arla og mejerichef Allan Kristensen annoncerede lukningen overfor de dengang 66 medarbejdere.

- Det er aldrig sjovt at nedlægge arbejdspladser, idet flere medarbejdere havde været på Lillebælt hele deres

arbejdsliv. Det skaber naturligvis uro og ængstelse for fremtiden, men generelt har medarbejdergruppen bevaret ja-hatten på og en positiv indstilling, hvilket fortjener kæmperos, siger Allan Kristensen. Han vurderer, at Arla har gode erfaringer med at hjælpe medarbejdere videre i deres arbejdsliv når mejerier bliver lukket, både indenfor og udenfor Arla regi.

- Forhandlingsudvalget med ledelse og fagforeninger gik straks i gang med at aftale et forløb, som skulle hjælpe medarbejderne videre, og hvor vi så vidt muligt fastholdt deres kompetencer i Arla. Og der er mange muligheder i en koncern af Arlas størrelse, så i omegnen af halvdelen af medarbejderne forventes at komme på andre Arla-mejerier, fortæller Allan Kristensen. En del af disse er skiftet til Troldhede Mejeri i Vestjylland, hvor produktionen fortsætter.

- Vi har stillet en række uddannelsesforløb til rådighed – både længevarende og korte kurser, hvilket medarbejderne flittigt har benyttet sig af, forklarer Allan Kristensen. Arla har i denne forbindelse udleveret svendebreve til otte lager- og logistikoperatører og tilsvarende otte industrioperatører, mens 13 har fået truckcertifikat. Hertil kommer over 30 kortere kursusforløb under Mejeribrugets Uddannelses Fond.

- Disse tilbud har bidraget til at fastholde personalestaben og hjælpe vores ansatte godt videre. Vi har haft høj produktion helt frem til årets begyndelse, hvor Troldhede Mejeri gradvist har overtaget produktionen, lyder det fra mejerichefen, som også er chef for Korsvejens Mejeri, som han nu kan koncentrere sig om.

Smagsprøver på Manchego.

Mejeribesøg og arbejdsmarkeds­­ forhold i Spanien Manchego-ost, besøg på Danmarks Ambassade og et indblik i Spaniens arbejdsmarked var nogle af omdrejningspunkterne, da Mejeriindustriens Arbejdsmiljøudvalg (MIA) og Mejeribranchens SamarbejdsForum (MSF) i maj måned besøgt Spanien.

Spanien er på mange områder i god gænge og har positiv vækst. Beskæftigelsen er imidlertid stadig et stort problem – 10 år efter finanskrisen –, og det spanske arbejdsmarked er kendetegnet ved en meget høj ledighed.

Aktuelt er ledigheden blandt unge under 24 år (som er den gruppe, som er hårdest ramt) ca. 35%, hvilket synes meget højt, men skal ses i lyset af at den tidligere lå på 55%. Den generelle ledighed er ca. 15%.

Dette og en række andre arbejdsmarkeds- og arbejdsmiljøforhold var omdrejningspunkterne for en dansk delegation fra MIA og MSF på 17 del-

tagere fra d. 5.-8. maj. Gruppen mødte både virksomheder, organisationer og den danske ambassade og fik dermed et spændende indblik i et arbejdsmarked, der er anderledes og langt mere hierarkisk og konfrontatorisk, end vi kender det fra Danmark.

arbejdsmarked. Lovgivningsmæssigt er der en mindsteløn på 850 € pr. måned.

Gennemsnitslønnen i Spanien er 1.350 € pr. måned for unge og ca. 2.000 € pr. måned regnet for alle spaniere. Det skal tilføjes, at der udbetales 14 månedslønninger pr. år – men dette til trods er lønniveauet lavt.

Svært for unge En af årsagerne til, at de unge har svært ved at få fodfæste på arbejdsmarkedet, er, at medarbejdere i Spanien er meget sikre i deres ansættelser, og at man ikke ofte skifter job. Det betyder, at der ikke er mange job, som slås op, og 90% af de opslåede jobs er midlertidige. Dvs. at de unge, trods et højt uddannelsesniveau (mange lange universitetsuddannelser), har svært ved at få en fast stilling. Som en konsekvens heraf har omkring 3 mio. spaniere forladt landet indenfor de seneste 10 år. De arbejder for en stor dels vedkommende i UK og Tyskland, men også i Danmark findes en del spanske akademikere. På trods af det relativt høje uddannelsesniveau for mange, er der dog også ca. 1/3 af de unge, som mangler uddannelse.

Lønningerne i Spanien er relativt lave, og der er et forholdsvist stort illegalt

Manchego – spansk BGB Delegationen oplevede også hverdagen på Mejeriet Lacteas i Toledo. Her indvejes komælk, gedemælk og fåremælk.

Sidstnævnte indvejes fra certificerede manchego-fårefarme, hvilket betyder, at mejeriet kan producere den berømte BGB-ost Manchego. På mejeriet produceres en række oste, som dog alle er mere eller mindre Manchego-agtige, uanset om de er baseret på gedemælk, komælk eller blandinger af disse samt fåremælk. Mejeriet Lacteas Toledo er en del af TGT-gruppen, som har flere mejerier i området, hvor der blandt andet produceres blue cheese i høj kvalitet. Derudover er gruppen Arla Foods samarbejdspartner i Spanien.

Formand for Dansk Mejeriingeniør Forening, Martin Holst Petersen (th.), var blandt oplægsholderne.

Klædt på til arbejdsmarkedet Sammen med Akade­ mikernes A-kasse inviterede Dansk Mejeriingeniør Forening traditionen tro de nyudklækkede eller kommende mejeri­ingeniør til Snart-kandidat-aften. Her blev de flotte ledighedstal også drøftet.

Aftenens deltagere er vant til at sidde på skolebænken og til at arbejde med komplekse opgaver indenfor alle afskygninger af mejeriteknologi og -videnskab.

Det er dog ikke ensbetydende med, at de er klædt på til at møde arbejdsmarkedet. Derfor har Dansk Mejeriingeniør Forening for nogle år siden taget initiativ til at invitere de nydannede og de næsten færdige mejeriingeniører til en aften med fokus på CV, jobsøgning, pension, løn og kontrakter/vilkår.

tidig får Foreningen en mulighed for at markedsføre sig selv, som det naturlige fagforeningsmæssige tilhørsforhold for en mejeriingeniør.

I år mødte ca. 25 unge op til arrangementet og den feedback de gav, var helt i top. Som ny på arbejdsmarkedet er der mange ting at forholde sig til, og på den baggrund giver arrangementet rigtig god værdi.

Ledighedssituation blandt mejeriingeniører Den aktuelle ledighedssituation for mejeriingeniører var naturligvis et relevant emne at berøre, og efter en længere pause i kølvandet på dagpengereformen fra sommeren 2017, er det nu igen muligt at få en ledighedsstatistik på mejeriingeniørområdet. Med knap 30 nye kandidater i det seneste halvår viser de seneste tal ganske naturligt en stigning i ledigheden, som ellers først på året var på et normalt niveau på knap

3% (svarende til ca. 10 fuldtidsledige) Med andre ord ses aktuelt en del ledige dimittender.

Er mobiliteten en udfordring?

Statistikken viser, at hovedparten af de nyuddannede kommer i job relativt hurtigt. Det ses dog, at nogle enkelte er ramt af dimittendledighed i en længere periode. Kigger man på statistikken regionalt, så fremgår det, at hovedparten af de ledige mejeriingeniører er bosiddende i København/på Sjælland.

Det fremgår ikke direkte, at disse er dimittender eller ældre mejeriingeniører, men med en mejeriindustri og en del andre relevante virksomheder vest for Storebælt, kunne et forsigtigt gæt på årsagen til dimittendledigheden godt være, at mobilitet kunne være en udfordring. Det skal understreges, at der naturligvis også kan andre årsager.

Fremgang for de private mejerier i Danmark De privatejede mejerier tegner sig for en stigende andel af den danske osteproduktion. Formand Jens Beierholm Poulsen kunne rapportere om en positiv udvikling på generalforsamlingen for Foreningen Danmarks Privatmejerier.

- I det store og hele klarer de private mejerier i Danmark sig godt i øjeblikket. Det gælder både de mindre producenter og vores to store virksomheder, Mammen Mejerierne og Nordex Food.

Der er fin fremdrift. Sådan lød det fra mejeriejer Jens Beierholm Poulsen, Nørup Mejeri, efter han i sin egenskab af formand for Foreningen af Danmarks Privatmejerier havde aflagt beretning på foreningens ordinære generalforsamling i Skejby 15. maj.

Et par timer inden generalforsamlingen gik i gang, havde Nordex Food A/S meget sigende offentliggjort et 2018-regnskab med flotte tal på både top- og bundlinje: Omsætning: +250 mio. kr. til 1,8 mia., resultatet: + 1,9 mio. kr. til 25 mio. kr.

Medlemmerne af privatmejeriernes forening består af 23 små og mellemstore virksomheder, hvoraf de fleste beskæftiger sig med produktion og salg af ost. I sin beretning kunne formanden fortælle, at privatmejeriernes andel af den danske osteproduktion i 2018 var vokset fra 8,2 pct. til 8,6 pct.

Han opfordrede samtidig medlemmerne til at byde ind med ideer og ønsker – både til Mejeriforeningens og privatmejeriforeningens arbejde.

- Man skal huske at forny sig løbende.

Derfor kunne jeg godt tænke mig, at vi fik en bred debat i foreningen, hvor medlemmerne bød ind med nye ideer og tanker til fremtidens indsats og arbejdsområde, sagde han og tilføjede, at det er vigtigt at sætte tid af til den slags debatter, selv om mange føler, at de har for travlt til at være aktive i foreningen.

Har I kandidater til Prisen som Årets Arbejdsmiljøgruppe 2019?

Arbejdsglæden skal fast­ holdes i en forandringstid Mere end 600 arbejdsmiljørepræsentanter ventes til årets Mejeri­ industriens Arbejds­miljø­konference d. 21. november. MIA har sammensat et program under temaet ’Hold fast i arbejdsglæden, når kulturen ændres’.

Det gode arbejdsmiljø er omdrejningspunktet, når mere end 600 arbejdsmiljørepræsentanter forventes at mødes til den årlige konference i Herning Kongrescenter, som afvikles for 11. gang.

Mejeriindustriens Arbejdsmiljøudvalg (MIA) har denne gang valgt at fokusere på sammenhængen mellem arbejdsglæde og forandringskultur, idet mejeribranchen fortsat oplever mange forandringer i hverdagen, eksempelvis et højt investeringsniveau i ny teknologi med nye arbejdsfunktioner i kølvandet. Dette kan være en udfordring for arbejdspladsen, idet forandringer kan skabe utryghed og dermed være en trussel i forhold til arbejdsglæden.

Stig Erichsen er ny sekretær i MIA, hvor han netop har afløst Torben Jans, som er gået på pension. Han er i fuld gang med at få de sidste aftaler på plads, så et endeligt program kan præsenteres medio juni.

- Vi har tilsagn fra en række spændende erhvervspsykologer, som har hver deres vinkel på dagens tema. Endvidere flere mejerivirksomheder, som fortæller om deres praktiske erfaringer med at fastholde og skabe arbejdsglæde i en forandringskultur. Desuden rummer programmet også oplægsholder fra en anden branche, så vi forhåbentlig alle kan gå hjem med ny viden og flere redskaber i værktøjskassen, siger Stig Erichsen, som glæder sig til at hilse på de mange repræsentanter og samarbejdspartnere på dagen.

- Jeg ser også frem til at opleve de forskellige virksomhedsstande, som vi går i gang med at lave aftaler med i de kommende måneder, så vi kan tilbyde et bredt og varieret program til de mange deltagere, lyder det fra Stig Erichsen.

Dagen byder også på kåring af Årets Arbejdsmiljøgruppe, ligesom de indlagte pauser giver rig mulighed for networking

Årets Arbejdsmiljøgruppe (1 arbejdsmiljørepræsentant og 1 arbejdsleder) kåres sædvanen tro på konferencen i Herning d. 21. november. Prisen tildeles en arbejdsmiljøgruppe ud fra den tankegang, at det er et fælles ansvar, når der på arbejdsmiljøområdet gøres en særlig indsats. Formålet er at give et skulderklap til en arbejdsmiljøgruppe, der har udvist en påskønnelsesværdig arbejdsmiljøindsats og demonstreret at være ildsjæle og rollemodeller på arbejdsmiljøområdet. Sidste frist for indsendelse af forslag er fredag d.

4. oktober til ster@di.dk, men send gerne forslag allerede nu.

Kort fortalt

Fonterra dropper isproduktion Fonterra har netop solgt deres iscreme-firma Tip Top til Froneri, den tredjestørste isproducent i verden, for NZD 380 mio. (DKK 1,7 mia.). Salget repræsenterer ifølge Fonterra en fortjeneste på omkring NZD 100 mio. (DKK 437 mio.) over den regnskabsmæssige værdi, skriver Landbrug & Fødevarer/Dairy Industry Newsletter. Tip Top har været ejet af Fonterra siden 2001, og selskabet vil fortsat levere mælk til mærket.

NORDEX fortsatte markant vækst i 2018 NORDEX øger i 2018 sin omsætning med ca. 250 mio. kr. til knap 1,8 mia. kr. Samtidig vokser indtjeningen, idet EBIT stiger fra 8 mio. kr i 2017 til 38 mio. kr. i 2018, og årets resultat dermed fra 1,9 mio. kr. i 2017 til 25 mio. kr i 2018.

Ved årets udgang udgør selskabets egenkapital 197 mio. kr. svarende til en soliditetsgrad på 28,3%. Det skriver selskabet i en pressemeddelelse.Selskabets bestyrelse kalder resultatet tilfredsstillende og som forventet ved årets begyndelse. Det pæne resultat skyldes en kombination af stigende afsætning af både egenproduktion og handelsvarer, stærke markedspositioner, et gunstigt råvaremarked specielt i årets første halvår.

Sønderhaven Gårdmejeri får kontrakt med Singapore Airlines Det sidste halve års tid har passagererne ombord på Singapore Airlines’ fly kunnet nyde osten Comendante fra Sønderhaven Gårdmejeri, og samarbejdet mellem flyselskabet og det lille nordjyske mejeri bliver nu udvidet. Fremover skal Sønderhaven også levere specialfremstillede oste til flyselskabet baseret på ønsker fra selskabets passagerer.

Det skriver mejeri.dk.

- Det bliver meget spændende at skulle arbejde endnu mere sammen med Singapore Airlines, for derved kommer vores oste langt omkring og ud til mange mennesker, siger Preben Ørum, som sammen med sin kone, Marianne, ejer Sønderhaven Gårdmejeri. Han ser det som en stor anerkendelse, at flyselskabet ønsker at bruge mejeriets oste.

Them går ind i produktion af modermælkserstatning Them Andelsmejeri udvider nu sit produktsortiment med økologisk modermælkserstatning. I begyndelsen af 2020 skal en ny fabrik i Ebberup på Fyn stå klar til at producere økologisk modermælkserstatning for Them Andelsmejeris eksportbrand Dairy of 1888. Fabrikken opføres af den fynske virksomhed Fipros Nutrition, som skal stå for selve produktionen, skriver mejeriet i en pressemeddelelse. Vejen ind på det kinesiske marked for småbørnsernæring sker via et samarbejde med Wellingo Nutrition, som er det danske datterselskab af Engnice Nutrition Group. Dette selskab er ifølge pressemeddelelsen Kinas førende producent af supplerende ernæring til babyer og småbørn.

- Med fabrikken i Ebberup, som er medfinansieret af Wellingo Nutrition, kan vi producere økologisk mælkepulver baseret på økologisk, dansk mælk, som vil blive eksporteret direkte til de kinesiske forbrugere, fortæller Franz Gammelgaard-Schmidt, adm. direktør for Dairy of 1888.

Rokeringerne sker som led i Arlas målsætning om at skabe nye forretningsmuligheder for kunderne, samt for at effektivisere Supply Chain. Det skriver Arla i en pressemeddelelse. Flytningen omfatter produktion af smelteost og steriliseret fløde fra Akafa og Bislev Mejeri i Nordjylland samt smelteost fra et anlæg i Riyadh, Saudi Arabien. Omstillingen vil finde sted i slutningen af 2020 og midten af 2021, men Arla Foods annoncerer ændringen nu for at sikre en nem og gennemsigtig overgang samt rettidige løsninger for de 75 berørte medarbejdere.

Kort fortalt Mammen Mejerierne leverer solidt regnskab Mammen Mejerierne A/S er Danmarks tredjestørste mejeri, som med årsregnskabet for 2018 er tæt på at runde 1 mia.kr. i omsætning. Dermed er midtjyderne tilbage på sporet med solide regnskabstal, efter at investeringer i et nyt mejeri til 100 mio. kr. over de senere år selvsagt har kostet på bundlinjen. Men i 2018 har mejeriet igen fået sat skub i væksten og næsten fordoblet årets overskud med en bundlinje på 12.3 mio. kr. efter skat mod 6.9 mio. kr. i 2017. Det viser selskabets nyligt offentliggjorte årsregnskab.

- Vi er ved at se gevinsten af de penge, vi har investeret, og vi kommer til at runde milliarden i år. Men hvad skal man bruge det til? Det er bare et stort tal, siger ejer og adm. direktør, Lars Staunsbæk til Landbrugsavisen.

Mere europæisk mælk, mens resten af verdenen leverer mindre De europæiske mælkeproducenter sendte mere mælk til mejerierne i marts måned end de har gjort i samme måned de foregående tre år. Det viser nye tal fra Europa-Kommisionen iflg. Landbrugsavisen. I forhold til marts måned sidste år, steg indvejningen med 1,2 pct. i marts måned i år. For 2019 som helhed er produktionen dog nede med -0,1 pct. sammenlignet med de samme måneder sidste år. Det er især de irske mælkeproducenter, som driver produktionen frem via en produktionsforøgelse på 8,6 pct. i årets første tre måneder. Fremdrift ses også i Rumænien, Polen, England og Danmark, imens hollænderne drosler ned. I andre af verdens store mælkeproducerende lande kunne man ikke spore samme fremgang i indvejningen. De new zealandske landmænd sendte otte pct. mindre mælk til mejerierne i marts, og i USA brød mælkeproducenterne fem års historik ved at levere mindre mælk end vanligt. Også australierne ligger pænt under indvejningen i de foregående fire år.

Svenskere spiser mindre svensk ost Nye tal fra det svenske Jordbruksverket viser, hvor store markedsandele svensk producerede fødevarer har på hjemmemarkedet. Selvom al drikkemælk i princippet kommer fra Sverige, - og de syrnede mejeriprodukter har en positiv udvikling, så er er den samlede markesandel for mejeriprodukter faldet fra 78 procent til 72 procent siden 2010. Denne tendens skyldes primært et negativt svensk ostesalg, hvor knap 45 procent af al ost, der sælges i Sverige, har svensk oprindelse. Et tal, der er faldet med omkring 20 procentpoint på 10 år.

Økologisk ost vinder frem

Britisk osteeksport til EU voksede i 1. kvartal Den britiske eksport af ost steg markant i årets første kvartal (jan-mar) i 2019. Omkring 57.000 tons blev eksporteret, hvilket er en stigning på 14% ift. 1. kvartal 2018 - og en stigning på 22% i forhold til det foregående kvartal, rapporterer Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board iflg. Dairy Industries International. EU er fortsat det primære eksportmarked for britisk ost - med særlig høj vækst i Holland, Spanien og Belgien. Eksporten til Irland faldt til gengæld – primært som følge af højt niveau i 2018.

Baggrunden for eksportstigningen antages at være en høj indvejning i vintermånederne kombineret med, at Brexitusikkerheden har afstedkommet udenlandske købere, som har været ivrige for at fylde lagrene op.

I 2018 blev der solgt økologiske mejeriprodukter for 2,9 mia. kr., hvilket var en stigning på 12 pct. i forhold til 2017. Det viser nye tal fra Danmarks Statistik, skriver www.mejeri. dk. Dermed fortsætter fremgangen i salget med stigninger i alle produktgrupper. Men især væksten i ostesalget er markant, hvilket blandt andet mærkes på Thise Mejeri.

- Salget af økologisk ost har været klart sværere at få i gang end fx økologisk mælk, men de seneste år er efterspørgslen efter vores øko-oste vokset 10-15 pct., siger Thise Mejeris adm. direktør Poul Pedersen. Han ser prisen som hovedårsag til, at økologisk ost hidtil kun har udgjort en mindre andel af det samlede salg af mejeriprodukter.

Også hos Arla mærker man den stigende interesse for økologiske oste. Fra marts 2018 til marts 2019 lagde danskerne 41 pct. flere øko-oste fra Arla i deres indkøbskurv. En del af disse var selskabets to nye økologiske oste i serien Riberhus Mesterstykker, som kom på markedet i marts måned.

Jubilarer fejrede 50 år som mejeriingeniører I foråret 1969 var vi 12 mejeribrugsstuderende, der blev færdige som mejeriingeniører fra Den Kongelige Veterinærog Landbohøjskole (KVL). Siden har vi alle holdt sammen med årlige sammenkomster medbringende vore hustruer, kærester og hvad der ellers var for hånden. Sidst men ikke mindst vores sangbog CANTAMUS. I år kunne vi så fejre vores 50 års jubilæum, der på festligste vis begyndte på vores gamle læreanstalt (nu KU Science) med en let frokost i kantinen. Derefter fik vi taget et foto foran hovedbygningen af alle 11 - ligesom vi blev for 50 år siden.

lægningen af KVL med Københavns Universitet. Vi fortsatte med at se Mejeriafdelingens laboratorium med pilotmejeri, hvor en del af forskningen foregår. Der er sandelig sket en hel del på alle fronter, siden vi var studerende.

Vi har også selv ændret os en hel del, det grå hår er blevet lidt tyndere i toppen. Men vi er stadig stolte over at være en intakt gruppe. Turen fortsatte til Restaurant Vigen ved Roskilde, hvor vi fik en god middag, Cantamus kom frem, og der blev sunget og danset lystigt. Alt i alt et dejligt jubilæum, og vi var alle enige om, at vores næste jubilæum skulle være om 5 år.

Netværk Øst oplevede KU Science – og 3D-teknologi Gensyn med vennerne og A-vej (fredagsbar) fra studietiden var blot en del af programmet for de 25 mejeriingeniører, der 28. maj 2019 deltog i Dansk Mejeriingeniør Forenings Netværk Øst på Københavns Universitet. Ifølge flere deltagere var det nemlig også interesse for at få mere viden om forskning indenfor teknologiske nyheder på KU SCIENCE. Bag arrangementet med de seneste forskningsaktiviteter stod Marie Jørgensen og Troels Pedersen (Netværk Øst planlægningsgruppe) samt professor Lilia Ahrné. Lilia viste rundt i

Lilia stod selv for oplæg om 3D print-teknologien med forskning indenfor bl.a. mælkeproteiner.

Ud over de omtalte ændringer er der også foretaget ændringer i et afsnit om ophavsret, der er foranstaltet af Akademikerne, som foreningen er medlem af.

Med denne ændring overdrages en ikke-eksklusiv ret til kollektiv forvaltning af ophavsret i Copydan og andre kollektive forvaltningsorganer. En ordning som i dag er særdeles velfungerende og som 84% af den samlede akademikerstand allerede har indføjet i deres vedtægter.

Populær aften med bud efter nye mejeriingeniører Virksomhedsmedlemmerne i Industrigruppen bag Mejeriingeniøruddannelsen (IbM) stod i kø for at deltage i og præsentere deres virksomhed til kandidataften 15. maj 2019.

Det samme kan siges om de 24 spirende dimittender og nye mejeriingeniører, som havde taget vejen til GEA Process Engineering i Søborg – aftenens vært. Den populære aften er tilrettelagt af IbM for at føre de to parter sammen og dermed skabe grundlaget at se hinanden an – og hvem ved – måske indgå aftaler. Aftalerne svirrede da også i luften og deltagerne anvendte aftenen strategisk til at uddele deres CV og connecte på LinkedIn, når en interessant virksomhed var spottet. Virksomhedsrepræsentanterne var denne aften GEA Process Engineering, SPX Flow Technology, Aarla Foods amba og Arla Foods Ingredients, NIRAS, DUPONT Nutrition Bioscinces, AAK, Premier og Chr. Hansen. De nyudsprunge mejeriingeniører kan desuden følges løbende i Mælkeritidende, hvor de præsenteres under personalia.

Ambitiøs faglærer til mejeriafdelingen på Kold College Der er fart på udviklingen i mejeriafdelingen på Kold College, såvel internt som eksternt. Vi søger derfor en ambitiøs og engageret lærer, som i samarbejde med et stærkt team af øvrige lærere og leder brænder for at være med til at præge denne udvikling på nye og spændende områder som kurser, e-læring og digitalisering.

Fakta om jobbet Du får en koordinerende funktion på kursusområdet samt ansvaret for egenkontrol, kvalitetsstyring i træningsmejeriet (QEHS) og planlægning af mejeriingeniørstuderendes forløb på Kold College. Desuden skal du undervise både kursister og elever i de mejerifaglige teorifag som f.eks. mejeriteknologi, mikrobiologi, faglig regning, engelsk og hygiejne kombineret med praktisk undervisning i skolens eget træningsmejeri.

Du har gennemført en videregående uddannelse som mejeriingeniør. Hvis du ikke allerede har en PG eller en pædagogisk diplomuddannelse, hjælper skolen dig til at opnå disse kompetencer.

Er jobbet noget for dig?

Måske er du nyuddannet mejeriingeniør, eller måske har du et par års erhvervs- eller undervisningserfaring bag dig. Det afgørende er, at du er opdateret på den nyeste viden inden for mejerifaget og brænder for at videreformidle din viden til elever og kursister – såvel danske som internationale.

Mejeriingeniørdagen byder på natproduktion i Slagelse Dansk Mejeriingeniør Forening er i fuld gang med at planlægge Mejeriingeniørdagen og den årlige generalforsamling d.

5. september. Og det ligger allerede nu fast, at dagen starter og slutter senere end normalt. Slagelse Mejeri byder nemlig indenfor i natproduktionen, og derfor starter dagen senere end normalt – nemlig kl. 15 med Årsmøde i Industrigruppen bag Mejeriingeniøruddannelsen, generalforsamling kl. 17.45 og mejeriingeniørmiddag kl. 20.45. Kl. 23.00 er der så et kig ind i natproduktionen med besøg i mejeriet og terminalen.

Medlemmer af Dansk Mejeriingeniør Forening vil automatisk modtage invitation pr. mail i starten af august og flere informationer kan findes på foreningens hjemmeside www. mejeriingenioer.dk. Studerende og medlemmer af Foreningen af mejeriledere og funktionærer er også meget velkomne.
