      Comprehensive support from Milkron

      Milkron has been the group’s dairy specialist since 2016, developing customized dairy solutions worldwide. Because the new company was staffed with industry veterans with decades of experience, Milkron was able to get off to a running start. Milkron also offers consulting services. The dairy experts support customers in developing feasibility studies and calls for tender, defining process technology requirements, and developing new products. Once a project is underway, Milkron assumes complete responsibility for the new dairy or individual systems. That includes coordinating and communicating with all suppliers involved. On-site installation and start-up are the responsibility of the respective site manager. Together with his team of experienced process and automation engineers, he ensures that every aspect of the project runs as it should so that the finished project can be handed over to customer on time and to the customer’s complete satisfaction.

      Equipped for all packaging scenarios

      For a longer shelf-life, dairy products must be packaged in light-protected containers. Good gas barrier properties and photostability make PET an excellent material choice. Krones’ container design experts can help determine which PET variant is ideal for any given end product and will also help design the bottle.

      Advantages with the use of PET containers

      • Maximum product safety:
        • Good gas barrier
        • Light protection either by the PET container itself or by the full-body sleeve
      • Versatile and individual options with the design of the PET container and label
      • Low weight: Saves costs during the transport and is environmentally-friendly
      • User-friendly packaging variant
      • Unbreakable material
        • Reclosability without leaking
        • Easy handling: Cap without separate sealing film

      EkoNiva fills milk in PET containers

      The MosMedynagroprom plant in Medyn near Kaluga, Russia, was built ten years ago to supply schools in Moscow with UHT milk and cheese, but it never reached capacity. EkoNiva took over the plant in 2017 and has been updating its technology and hygiene to the latest state of the art. “The plant originally produced up to 90 percent of its output volume as UHT milk products. Now we are switching production over to a traditional range of pasteurized products: milk, fermented dairy products, cottage cheese, yoghurt smoothies,” explains Vadim Shevelev, project manager for EkoNiva.
