Retrofitting raw milk silos with Alfa Laval’s hyper-efficient EnSaFoil Agitator range has reduced Dairy energy usage by over 75%, with no drop in product quality.
Cream tanks usually require more than one cleaning head, using a short rinse to recover any remaining product before returning to the normal CIP cycle. Rotary Jet Heads are highly effective at reducing rinse water volumes and turnaround time.
Tanks manufacturing yoghurts and cheese can be increasingly sensitive. Alfa Laval’s solutions can ensure preservation of milk quality with gentle, effective mixing to achieve optimal yields.
Rotary Jet Heads provide exceptional cleaning coverage for main dryers and larger cyclones. Fixed or retractable spray balls will offer a versatile, high-impact clean for the duct work and filters.
This comprehensive brochure explains how Alfa Laval’s innovative technologies help Dairy processors optimise their operations while maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and product quality. Learn how our solutions can help you maximise efficiency while reducing resource consumption.

The Alfa Laval EnSaFoil Agitator provides high pumping effect and flow rates with minimal power consumption. It is configured to meet the most stringent process duties across the dairy industry – including fermentation, keeping vessel contents homogenous, mixing powders and liquid, dissolving ingredients and more.
The SRU Pump can handle from low to high viscosity dairy products with its characteristic smooth, low shear pumping action being ideal for creams, emulsions, aerated mixtures, and delicate cells and organic solids in suspension. SRU configuration options enable optimised selection for Pumps for base products and fruit additives with large particles.
Featuring a unique one-clip hygienic assembly, our Rotary Spray Heads are easy to install and inspect, self cleaning and feature a drainable slide bearing. They are the first full Dairy Rotary Spray Head product range to be EHEDG certified and compliant with 3A standards.
Alfa Laval EnSaFoil Agitators provide high pumping effects and flow rates with minimal power consumption. They are configured to meet the most stringent process duties across the Dairy Industry – including fermentation, keeping vessel contents homogenous, mixing powders and liquid, dissolving ingredients and more.
Ideal for use in the Dairy Industry, the ThinkTop automation series provide real-time information about Valve operating status 24/7 while helping to improve production performance and secure traceability for Diaphragm, Butterfly, Single-Seat and Mixproof Valves.
The LKB UltraPure can be operated remotely using an air-actuator or manually with a handle. The air-actuator converts axial piston movement into a 90° shaft rotation. Additionally, the actuator’s torque amplifies when the valve disc comes into contact with the valve seal.
The SRU Pump can handle Dairy products of low to high viscosities with its characteristic smooth, low shear pumping action making it ideal for creams, emulsions, aerated mixtures, and delicate cells and organic solids in suspension. SRU configuration options make it ideal for handling base products and fruit additives containing large particles.
The patented Hybrid Powder Mixer is designed to dissolve or mix in stabilisers, thickeners, and emulsifiers, and can dissolve recombined milk to more than 50% dry matter. A unique powder wetting and dissolving design assures a uniform end product with no lumps and minimal air.
Llandyrnog has invested more than £3 million in their creamery since 2004. As part of the improvement programme, they reviewed their total raw milk storage arrangements and decided that the CIP operation needed upgrading.
