IDM | Site report Skilled workers The new whey processing plant of Hochwald Foods surely has set a new worldwide standard. It is being operated in a four-shift pattern throughout the year. 60 new jobs have been created. To make sure that workers have the best possible insight into the processes, Hochwald has recruited the bulk of new employees well before the plant went operative. The basis for the whey processing plant is, however, the cheesemaking operation of Hochwald in Hünfeld that employs a staff of 200 and itself has been modernised with an investment of €25m since 2011 to turn 400m kg of milk into Mozzarella and Pasta filata cheeses. Technical innovation is by the way one of the characteristics of the Hünfeld operations of Hochwald. Currently, the waste water treatment is being equipped with a patented new process that allows for separating waste water loads for re-use for instance as fertiliser. IDM will report at a later time about this new process. 8 · 10 2016 | international-dairy.com The Big Bag Revolver by Derichs German powder handling equipment specialist Derichs has installed a hygienic Big Bag filling station model LFB BR 2000 at the Hochwald plant in Hünfeld. The system is in principle an efficient hygienic sluice that fills the Big Bag on one side in the high care zone which is then passed in a revolving operation through the wall into the packaging and dispatch area. It is only then when the Big Bag is placed onto a pallet. In between the two hygiene zones (white, black) there is a horizontal rolling gate to keep hygienic conditions in the white zone to standards. Derichs can supply the LFB BR 2000 with a number of options, i.e. a bag inflation, a dust hatch, weighing and an own PLC automation. derichs.de Original spare parts just one click away Sidel Sidel, a leading provider of production equipment and services for liquids in PET, announces the launch of “Sidel Services Online” for fast and easy ordering of original spare parts for its equipment and complete lines.
