Whey 1 to 5
Whey 1 marked the start of whey processing
at Sachsenmilch back in 2008 with the installation
of a spray dryer. Shortly after, Whey 2
followed which meant the installation of a fluid
bed dryer. Whey 3 was a project that led to milk
calcium isolation and bioethanol fermentation
from permeate and molasses from lactose production.
Whey 4 meant high-protein products
from whey, in which Sachsenmilch has invested
€75m. Whey 5, finally, is lactose production in
Dry Mix quality under the brand name "Infantose".
A starting point for the Whey 5 plans was
that the company should make something more
than mere lactose, as the latter is being manufactured
by everyone, said Mr. Derks.
The building for Whey 5 measures 54 x 42
m and is 35 m high (adding to another 8 m
underground). The various parts of equipment
are placed over 6 floors. Pre-processed
product streams come from the neighbouring
Whey 4 installation. Here, Sachsenmilch operates
a massive membrane filtration based on
RO and MF. Whey 5 is equipped with to fluid
bed dryers supplied by GEA which are situated
in two separate rooms, 10 lactose silo tanks
and peripheral equipment as well as a and lactose
mill (Hosokawa), three washing lines and
two evaporators for redundancy and, naturally,
the lines for making high-protein products.
The operation runs in a 24/7/365 pattern,
three operators and one supervisor work in
each shift, one operator oversees packaging
