Founded by the European Project Enthalpy, is being

constructed a completely new pilot plant (300 l/h),

with the aim to study the combination of:

• Energy sources: conventional gas and thermal

solar energy up to 160ºC

• Heating technologies: direct steam, indirect

interchange, microwave at 915 MHz and

radiofrequency at 27 MHz.

On milk and milk products.

How we can help you?

The pilot plant is well equipped and its design allows

great flexibility, in testing and training.

Product tests:

• Rental of the pilot plant testing of new products

using the drying plant.

• Development and study of new ingredients.

• Both theoretical and practical training of

personnel, ex handling equipment, CIP (Cleaning

in Place).
