The market for dairy processing equipment is expected to be worth $10.9 billion by 2020, according to a study published by Markets and Markets, Dallas, Texas.
The floor area within a dairy farm or processing plant is subjected to a long list of damaging and deteriorating factors, such as traffic from rubber boots, cattle and forklift trucks, heavy machinery, lactic acid spillages and intense cleaning routines. Despite these challenging conditions, the floor finish needs to provide a clean platform that keeps both food products and employees safe.
LT Industries, Gaithersburg, Md., introduced NIR Dairy Analyzers, designed to improve quality control and production in dairy processing of milk, powders, creams, butter, cheese and intermediate products.
