10% increase in production with no increase in energy consumption
Valio Oy is the largest producer of dairy products in Finland. It ships more than 60 million kilos of milk and whey powders annually.
Milk and whey powder production is all about drying liquids. The process is demanding in many ways: it consumes a lot of energy and requires extreme accuracy. The moisture balance is a critical factor. Too large water content makes the powder sticky and disturbs the production.
