Gemak Leads Sustainability and Efficiency Breakthrough in Wales
Gemak UK proudly announces the successful completion and commissioning of one of the most advanced dairy processing facilities in the UK. This milestone project underscores the company’s unwavering commitment to innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence. As our largest turnkey Dairy plant installation in the UK, it boasts a process capacity of 600 tonnes/day of milk and whey concentrate. Located in Wales, the facility is setting a new benchmark in the dairy industry by achieving unparalleled levels of efficiency and environmental performance.
Breaking Barriers with High Percentage of Total Solids
For the first time in the UK, this state-of-the-art plant incorporates a continuous RO (HIRO) system capable of producing whey concentrate with 30% Total Solids (TS). This groundbreaking technology not only ensures exceptional product quality but also streamlines processes, reducing energy consumption, reduction in carbon footprint and optimising resource utilisation.
Net Zero Plus Water: Beyond Net Zero
Originally designed to meet net zero water consumption targets, the facility has surpassed expectations, earning a “Net Zero Plus water” distinction. By generating over 100,000 litres of extra high-quality clean water daily beyond the water recovered and reused on site, the plant showcases its versatility and sustainability. This achievement reflects a significant leap forward in sustainable water management within the dairy sector.
Redefining Industry Standards
Gemak’s commitment to delivering integrated solutions has enabled this facility to exceed its key performance indicators (KPIs) and deliver tangible benefits:
- Continuous Run Time
- Performance Parameters
- Utility Unit Consumption/lt of whey & milk
- +-% Process Accuracy
- Net Zero Water
This project reinforces Gemak’s position as a leader in the design and manufacture of world-class hygienic processing equipment and engineered solutions for the dairy industry and beyond. By continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible, Gemak is proud to play a role in shaping a more sustainable and efficient future for food production
