APV, a brand within SPX FLOW’s Nutrition & Health division, has secured a project worth over $30 million with Arla Foods, one of the world’s leading dairy cooperatives. The partnership will transform Arla’s Lockerbie Creamery in Scotland into a UHT center of excellence, expanding production of milkshakes, sundaes, and lactose-free milk.
The project supports Arla’s ambition to achieve carbon net zero by 2050, aligning with SPX FLOW’s sustainability vision, “Earth Day, Every Day.”
SPX FLOW designed the UHT solution to meet Arla’s targets for reducing water, energy, and waste. By enabling longer production runs and streamlining operations, the APV Injection UHT technology is expected to lower operating costs by 30–50% while supporting a high-volume, low-cost production model.
The upgraded Lockerbie Creamery will include:
-
Flex-Mix Instant Mixer for vacuum mixing
-
Q055 energy-saving plate heat exchangers
-
Assorted pumps and valves for enhanced process efficiency
