Introducing the Combi MP Pilot for Whey Protein
SPX FLOW is at the forefront of transforming whey, elevating it from a by-product of cheesemaking to a vital nutritional ingredient. With the unveiling of their new Combi Microparticulation (MP) pilot line located at their innovation hub in Denmark, they are extending an exciting opportunity for producers to refine their formulations and ultimately enhance product quality.
Convenient and Flexible Options for Producers
Producers will have the choice between trialing their recipes directly at SPX FLOW’s facility or renting the Combi MP unit for use within their own facilities starting January 2026. This flexibility empowers companies to develop smoother, creamier whey protein products tailored to meet diverse food and beverage application needs.
Streamlined Recipe Testing
The Combi pilot line is designed to integrate two advanced microparticulation technologies—LeanCreme™ and Cavimaster™—into a single platform, allowing producers to optimize their testing processes. This approach not only fosters efficiency but also encourages innovation by enabling direct comparisons of the two methods in one location.
Enhancing the Value of Whey Protein
The rising popularity of whey protein in health and nutrition sectors speaks to its versatility and numerous health benefits. From ready-to-drink coffees to various dairy products, whey protein's functionality makes it an essential ingredient. With the Combi MP pilot, customers can perform tests at a modest flow rate of 150 liters per hour, ensuring that even small batches lead to significant insights and improvements for full-scale production.
Market Demand for Microparticulation
As the demand for high-quality dairy ingredients increases, leading global dairy brands are investing significantly in techniques like microparticulation to enhance their product offerings. SPX FLOW’s unique blend of industry expertise and the capability to conduct pilot-scale testing places them in a competitive position to address this burgeoning market demand.
