Dairy
Our client is a major international dairy firm north of St Petersburg, Russia. The company specialises in the production of whole milk, sour cream and yoghurt food products, processed using a full suite of Alfa Laval technologies.
To increase capacity, improve efficiency and comply with safety and hygiene requirements, Moloko, one of the largest producers of dairy products in the Nizhny Novgorod region, planned to upgrade its 50-year-old dairy plant located in the town of Gorodets.
To optimize plant operations, Moloko turned to Alfa Laval to plan, design and implement a plant upgrade to achieve more sustainable operations, reduce waste and drive more effective utilisation.

Alfa Laval provided Moloko with a broad range of dairy plant solutions to improve efficiency, reduce water and energy consumption, and reduce waste. This included hygienic Alfa Laval LKH centrifugal pumps to transport dairy products throughout the plant. Moreover, to reduce product waste, Alfa Laval Unique Mixproof valves equipped with ThinkTop control units were used in various piping systems.
Before the upgrade, the plant processed approximately 70 tons of raw milk per day. Today plant capacity is up 50%. With more raw milk available, production of whole milk, sour cream, yoghurt and ryazhenka, a baked cultured milk that is a popular Russian breakfast drink, has increased substantially as a result. Significant reduction in utilities and raw material Upgrading the Gorodets Dairy delivers significant savings on water consumption and increased the utilization efficiency of both raw materials and electricity.
The Alfa Laval EnSaFoil agitator solution brings a modular tank mounted agitator system to the process industry. The agitator range is specifically designed to bring the maximum mixing effect through gentle controlled rotation yet the minimum of energy requirement.
The ThinkTop® is designed to ensure optimum valve control in conjunction with Alfa Laval butterfly, single-seat and Mixproof valves and it is compatible with all major PLC systems.
