Whey processing line
Streamline whey processing by transforming byproducts into high-value proteins, catering to diverse nutritional needs while optimizing operational efficiency.
The Whey Processing Line from REDA is a sophisticated system designed to convert whey into high-value derivatives such as Whey Protein Isolate and Whey Protein Concentrate. Utilizing a combination of technologies, it efficiently handles pasteurization, skimming, and separation through centrifugal separators, supported by advanced reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, and ultrafiltration units. This system is ideal for applications ranging from baby formula to sports nutrition and lactose-free products. Engineered for continuous, automated operations, it supports seamless integration into existing liquid food production lines. With PLC control and remote monitoring capabilities, it ensures optimal energy efficiency and process control. The equipment is constructed with durable materials to withstand rigorous production environments and is compliant with industry standards. Additionally, REDA offers customization and engineering support to tailor the system to your specific operational requirements.
