Nutritional powders plant in New Zealand
GEA, Düsseldorf, Germany, has been awarded a contract by Mataura Valley Milk to construct a nutritional powders plant in McNab near to Gore on New Zealand’s south island. The facility will process fresh milk and ingredients into added-value nutritional powders as well as standard skim-milk and whole-milk powders. It is expected to begin production for the 2018 season and will produce around 140t of nutritional powder daily. Scope of supply will include a milk reception and standardisation plant, powdered and liquid ingredients handling, batch formulation, evaporation and drying, powder handling and filling into 25kg bags. It will also feature a high degree of process automation and product traceability. Energy efficiency and environmental impact have also been a key focus in the plant design.
Mataura Valley Milk is majority-owned by Chinese Animal Husbandry Group (CAHG), a Chinese company. Roughly half of the premium nutritional powder produced will be exported to China. www.gea.com
