Arla Lockerbie opens with SPX Flow UHT system

APV, a brand in SPX Flow’s Nutrition & Health division, has secured a project worth more than $30 million with the dairy cooperative Arla Foods. The partnership aims to make the Lockerbie Creamery in Scotland a UHT centre of excellence at the site.

SPX Flow designed the UHT solution around Arla’s agreed targets for minimising water, energy and waste, which are performance indicators for dairy’s broader sustainability journey. By enabling long production runs and reducing operational steps, the APV injection UHT solution is expected to streamline production, while supporting a high-volume, low-product strategy. 

“This success exemplifies how innovation and sustainability work hand in hand,” says Simon Phillips, president for nutrition and health solutions at SPX Flow. “By combining our APV expertise, Arla’s creating a UHT Center of Excellence that will sustainably support innovation and deliver high-quality products for years to come.” 

In addition to the injection UHT, the APV-retrofitted creamery now also includes a Flex-Mix instant mixer for vacuum mixing, Q055 energy-saving plate heat exchangers, along with assorted pumps and valves.
