Norwegian cheese producer chooses APV
Synnove Finden ASA, the Norwegian food company, has placed an order with APV for over USD1.5m to expand the company's cheese-making plant in Alvdal, using the latest diary process equipment
Rokiskio suris AB is the largest producer of dairy products in Lithuania and has now become one of the biggest within the three Baltic States.
The company has grown rapidly in recent years and processes 40 percent of all Lithuanian milk production.
This represents the maximum production capacity limit set by the Lithuanian government.
As a result the company, in addition to looking for increased milk supplies wants to increase the efficiency of cheese production while incorporating greater flexibility.
This will allow Rokiskio suris AB to quickly respond to changing customer demands and bring new product lines on stream.
A large part of the Rokiskio suris AB production is the famous Goya cheese which is exported to several countries, including the USA and Germany.
The daily milk intake of the dairy is 1.1 million litres, and although cheese production is the principal activity, a range of milk powders are also produced.
Due to the pressures of growth, Rokiskio suris AB needed to enhance production by embracing modern production methods, which utilise advanced equipment that can be highly automated.
Mr Dalius Trumpa, Director of Operations said, "Apart from the extensive APV knowledge of the dairy industry, the company has worked with Rokiskio suris AB when it was privatised after regaining independence from the former Soviet Union.
These were important factors in selecting APV for this important project".
APV supplied two membrane filtration plants in the 1990's, but now a more extensive installation is required, including the supply and commissioning of a pre-press, a final press line, an ultra-filtration system for protein standardisation and pasteurisation equipment.
The project is scheduled for completion in April 2004.
