CHARLOTTE, NC, Oct 17, 2025 – APV has secured a project worth more than $30 million with Arla Foods to develop the Lockerbie Creamery in Scotland. The project will establish the site as a UHT center of excellence, enhancing production capabilities and supporting Arla’s goal of reaching carbon net zero by 2050. The initiative aligns with SPX FLOW’s commitment, “Earth Day, Every Day,” emphasizing the company’s focus on energy efficiency and dairy operations.
SPX FLOW designed the UHT system to meet Arla’s goals for reducing water, energy use, and waste – key indicators for dairy production. The new line supports longer production runs, reduced operational steps, and it supports a high-volume/low-product strategy.
“This success exemplifies how innovation and sustainability work hand in hand,” says Simon Phillips, president for nutrition & health solutions at SPX FLOW. “By combining our APV expertise, Arla’s creating a UHT Center of Excellence that will sustainably support innovation and deliver high-quality products for years to come.”
More than the Injection UHT, the APV-retrofitted creamery also includes:
- A Flex-Mix instant mixer for vacuum mixing
- Q055 energy-saving plate heat exchangers
- Assorted pumps and valves
