The donations were announced at a two-hour service event at the food bank where more than 30 dairy food company executives sorted and packed lunches for food-insecure families. Altogether, the donations from the IDFA Foundation and its partners will support more than 22,000 meals for people in need.
The new model is an evolution of the industry-standard Flexifam 55, further refined to meet the needs of small- to medium-sized processors seeking a robust, easy-to-use solution that combines reliable cut quality with improved hygiene, simplified maintenance, and efficient operation in continuous production environments, supported by a 5.5 kW drive system.
Membrane filtration is taking a more central role in dairy processing as suppliers continue to refine systems that impact not only separation efficiency, but also water use, energy consumption and plant efficiency.
Rather than serving as a standalone processing step, membrane filtration is increasingly functioning as a tool to optimize multiple aspects of plant performance, from yield and ingredient quality to water and energy use.
The Artificial Intelligence Keynote, “Designing with Intelligence: Practical AI for Faster, Smarter, Safer Food Innovation,” is taking place Wednesday, July 15, from 9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. CT, and will feature Alon Chen, CEO and Co-Founder of Tastewise,
GEA Group's Shanti Bhushan says processors utilizing membrane filtration typically see benefits across three key areas: yield improvement, waste reduction and resource efficiency.
Membrane filtration is moving beyond its traditional role as a wastewater treatment tool across the meat, poultry and seafood industries, as processors look to recover value from underutilized streams while reducing water, energy and raw material consumption.
In addition to the data-backed guidance, IDFA’s Project Diversify will expand over time to include interactive tools that allow users to explore emerging and high-potential markets across regions and product categories.
