SPX Corporation has announced that its Flow Technology segment received three new contracts for dairy processing systems at the end of 2011 totaling more than $100 million. The three new orders will utilize a wide array of SPX's custom engineered dairy processing technologies for varying applications at process facilities in Europe and Asia.
"These new orders for large global customers are a true testament to our expertise in dairy processing systems, as well as our ability to deliver highly engineered, custom solutions in a market that is increasingly technology-driven," said Don Canterna, segment president, SPX Flow Technology. "As the world's population grows, and demand for liquid and powdered dairy products continues to rise, we are working with our customers to develop processes that have high production capacity, run efficiently and help preserve our environment."
One of the new orders is for a large food and dairy manufacturer in Europe and features multiple technologies from SPX that will enable the customer to meet rising demand for its popular dairy products. The project also includes innovative, custom designed features that are fully aligned with the customer's strict sustainability goals.
Another order, for a customer in Asia, calls for a fully integrated system, complete with mixing, infusion, evaporation and drying, for processing of consumer nutrition products. The system will include multiple SPX Flow technologies and is characterized as being flexible and expandable, in order to meet the needs of future demand.
The third order, also for a milk powder processing facility, is for a system capable of operating 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week, and will feature an innovative design that helps curb emissions. Once completed, the new facility will be one of the largest milk dryers ever installed in Europe.
