Tuesday 26 April 2022

Sustainable heating in food and beverage: decarbonize heating processes and reduce operating costs // 11:00 - 11:30 hrs  // Mr Robert Unsworth

Heat accounts for more than half of the global total final energy consumption, mostly produced from fossil fuels. If we want to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius compared to pre-industrial levels, we need to accelerate heat decarbonation. We need a real game changer. When it comes to decarbonizing heat, heat pump technology with a proven track record is just that. In the drive for a carbon-neutral future, energy-efficient heat pumps are rapidly becoming the technology of choice.  

GEA - the enabler for the New Food industry // 13:00 - 13:30 hrs // Ms Christelle Theis

Focused primarily on the production of alternative protein foods and protein-rich components, the New Food boom is a response to consumer demand for more nutritious, sustainable and ethical foods. GEA combines a comprehensive equipment portfolio and process expertise in the traditional food and pharmaceutical business to deliver complete solution to produce protein rich foods and components. 

Safety Matters // 15:30 - 16:00 hrs // Ms Annika Burmeister and Mr Soenke Burmester

For producers there are a lot of factors beyond their control, but safety is not one of them. Safety – product safety, process safety and employee safety – is an area where they can take control, make changes and lay the foundation for a strong, sustainable, future-proof business moving forward.

Project SporoClear - small-scale bacteria clarification // 12:30 - 13:00 hrs // Ms Prof. Saskia Schwermann and Mr Lennart Beick

Collaboration between the University of Applied Sciences & Arts Hannover with GEA Westfalia Separator Group GmbH to develop a process for spore removal in artisanal cheese dairies to prevent late blowing defects. 

No whey for waste - efficient whey processing with mechanical separation technology // 16:30 - 17:00 hrs // Mr Thomas Veer

Whey separation has long been an important component for effective whey refining. Today, whey clarification, whey skimming and bacteria removal offer the possibility of processing the whey in such a way that it is optimally prepared for the subsequent refining steps and the reutilization of the side streams is possible.

Finding the right mixproof valve for your application - from hygienic to aseptic // 11:00 - 11:30 hrs // Mr Pascal Baer

In processing plants that focus on ESL (extended shelf-life), UltraClean and aseptic applications, both the valve/piping design implementation and the valve matrix configurations are unlike those utilized with hygienic applications. Gain an understanding of the technical features, advantages and benefits of GEA's double-seat valves and how they also make economic sense.

Mechanical separation & plant-based beverages // 15:30 - 16:00 hrs // Mr Ángel Rubio Domenech

Plant-based drinks, from growth-leading oat or soy products to new varieties, are loved around the world for their taste, sustainability and health properties. Producers seek for new recipes, the right set up of their processes and reproducible and traceable results. GEA offers unique support in your passion for new beverages along the entire process from testing to bottling. But extraction is key. Learn how a decanter delivers smooth power for high yield, quality and hygienic safety. Connect with GEA to create plant-based drinks with the optimal processes for versatile and efficient production.
