We installed a new, fully automated cleaning unit CENTRASIP for cleaning all the circuits of the factory. The new ultramodern CIP unit guarantee optimal use of chemicals, low water consumption and reduction of waste. The use of regenerated water reduces water consumption by at least 20%. All the parameters are adjustable separately for each circuit by the operator.

Furthermore, we modernized the raw milk reception and the storage installation. The modernization included new tanks, a new mix-proof Bardiani valve cluster fully automated and new Alfa-Laval pumps. We redesigned the raw milk management process for the Feta production, in order to make (the process) more functional, efficient and safe. The restructuring is transforming the process to a fully automated one, facilitating the production control, the safety of the final product and the final cleaning.
