Standardization is defined as the industrial adjustment of milk or cream fat content to a precisely specified or desired value. In general, the fat content of raw milk is higher than the fat content of the various dairy products to be manufactured. The standardized fat content of
these products usually ranges between a minimum of 0.5 and a maximum of 3.5 percent.
Besides the continuous control of the standardized milk fat content the GEA standardization units can also provide a continuous control of the cream fat content and a proportional dosing of additives.
The GEA units are available for warm milk and cold milk standardization.
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
Chaque boisson, chaque aliment sûr est une victoire contre les menaces microbiennes invisibles, une bataille gagnée grâce à un siècle de conception de procédés hygiéniques. Avec plus de 100 ans de savoir-faire en matière d’ingénierie et de conception hygiénique, GEA dicte la norme pour les équipements de process, afin de protéger les denrées alimentaires et de sauver des vies.
Engineering innovation often takes the form of incremental gains. Once in a while, it takes a leap. Case in point: The washing machine. Launched in September 2022, two new GEA software solutions are upending convention and delivering similarly dramatic efficiency gains in the resource-intensive process of membrane filtration.
