Supplier to the dairy industry

At the heart of every successful dairy production lies the combination of reliable products, tailored technological solutions and an unwavering dedication to quality.

At Alfotech, we understand the unique demands and challenges faced by the dairy industry. With a rich history of innovation and customer-centric service, we craft solutions that not only meet these demands, but also set new standards for efficiency and quality.

Our in-depth knowledge of the dairy industry, combined with our technological expertise, makes us the ideal partner for dairy companies looking to optimize their processes and produce the best dairy products on the market.

Whether it's the weigh-in of raw milk, processing or final bottling, we offer the most advanced and reliable solutions designed specifically for your needs.

Weighing in milk

The first stage of dairy production is also one of the most critical: receiving and weighing in raw milk. This step forms the foundation for all subsequent processes, and at Alfotech, we have the right tools to ensure this phase runs smoothly.

Transferring raw milk requires more than just an ordinary hose. Our Mikland Flex and Mastermilk milk hoses are designed for exactly this purpose.

Designed with super flexibility, hygiene and gentle handling of dairy products in mind, these hoses ensure that the medium is transported taste and odor-free, free from contamination and with all its natural properties intact.

Reliable stainless steel fittings

In the dairy industry, stainless steel food fittings play a vital role in keeping the milk's path through the system leak-free and efficient.

The most common dairy couplings for use in the dairy industry in the Nordics include the DS and SMS standards respectively. In addition, we also offer DIN fittings, which are presented alongside DS and SMS in our news article and video on coupling types.

Our fittings are supplied in AISI 316, a steel that is stainless, acid-proof and has good corrosion and heat resistance. They are also very hygienic and easy to clean, with a surface roughness of ≤ 0.8 µ.

With stainless steel fittings from Alfotech, you are guaranteed a secure connection from receipt to the finished product.

Processing of dairy products

Turning raw milk into different dairy products like cheese, milk, yogurt or cream is a complex process. Alfotech's products are here to ensure this transformation happens with ultimate precision and quality.

A key part of this precision lies in homogenization, which is the process of making a mixture uniform or homogeneous. This process is particularly important in the food industry, where it ensures that milk maintains an even consistency and quality.

But as with all industrial processes, wear and tear on machinery and components is inevitable.

At Alfotech, we offer hard metal coating for various wear parts, including pistons for use in your homogenizers. With a carbide coating, the lifespan of your wear parts increases by up to 8X the original lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Customer story: Solution for filtration system

We always focus on customer satisfaction and love it when we can make a difference for our customers.

One of our customers faced a challenge with a filtration system. Our unique corrugated Teflon hoses were the solution.

Replacing their process pipes with Teflon corrugated hoses resulted in the following 3 benefits:

Transparent material for better flow monitoring.
Spiral shape for great flexibility and thus adaptability.
PTFE as a material for a wide temperature range.

The hose combines flexibility with durability, which meant our customer could benefit from easier inspection of the filtration system, easier adaptation to the system's filter connections during operation, and the wide temperature range that PTFE supports.

Dive into the details in our news article: "New problem solver for the filtration system".

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleanliness is crucial in the dairy industry for both product quality and safety standards. With this in mind, we offer a range of specialized products for low-pressure systems, such as our easy-to-handle Clean Wash low-pressure rinse hose.

Our range, which includes durable hoses and efficient spray guns, is designed to ensure consistent and thorough cleaning of your equipment.

To maintain an efficient workflow and order in the workplace, we also recommend our hose reels for easy and convenient organization.

It is also important to have different nozzles for e.g. spray guns, as different cleaning tasks require different water flow patterns to achieve the best results.

For heavily contaminated surfaces or hard-to-reach dirt, our spray ball for mounting on a connection is an excellent choice.

Bottling/filling

When it comes to filling products such as yogurt into cups, precision and hygiene are essential. Our Dynamic CLC hose is particularly well suited for this task. With a robust build that meets the hygienic standards of the dairy industry, this hose ensures that every product is filled accurately, quickly and without spillage.

In addition, our silicone hoses and Beverage CLC hose are also popular choices for filling. Beverage CLC is used, for example, for jams in conjunction with yogurt.

Whether it's milk, cream, yogurt or any other dairy product, we offer compatible products of the highest quality.

Documentation, approval and standards

In the dairy industry, compliance with documentation, approvals and standards is not just a legal requirement - it's also essential for consumer confidence and safety.

With milk and dairy products being a daily part of many people's diets, it's important that we can ensure the quality and safety of our products.

We understand the importance of complying with both local and international standards. To ensure that our products are safe and of high quality, we strictly follow the guidelines set by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration).

In the European market, we strictly follow the directives and regulations set by the EU, in particular EC 1935/2004 and 2023/2006/EC.
