The TIXOTHERM™ process is an innovative, cost-effective solution for turning whey and whey permeate into powder – and, with rising demand and higher prices, a faster way to turn powder into profits. The TIXOTHERM™ process offers the following benefits:
More flexible – for whey and all types of permeate from milk and whey. Provides trouble-free drying of permeate from milk, and of whey from cheeses as different in composition as Cheddar, Swiss and Mozzarella.
Superior results – non-caking, non-hygroscopic powders. Delivers outstanding results in the form of high-quality, non-hygroscopic powder with the non-caking, free-flowing characteristics and light colour food producers want.
Lower costs – more efficient than traditional techniques. Reduces costs compared to traditional wet processes, whether judged on initial capital costs, energy consumption or space requirements.
Comparison of the energy consumption calculated into kWh between the
traditional 'wet' process incl. the crystallization and the TIXOTHERM™ process.
Energy consumption is typically more than 30% lower than with the traditional 'wet' process.
Available now – contact Niro for a demonstration. The TIXOTHERM™ process is available in four industrial-scale configurations:
- 1,000 kg/hr final powder – 400,000 litres of whey permeate/day
- 2,500 kg/hr final powder – 1,000,000 litres of whey permeate/day
- 5,000 kg/hr final powder – 2,000,000 litres of whey permeate/day
- 7,500 kg/hr final powder – 3,000,000 litres of whey permeate/day
