Utilization of raw material to the fullest

With the InSight Pro, measuring in-line directly in the production process, the technology has been implementet in big dairy groups in Italy, Germany, Denmark, and Austria optimizing mozzarella production.

One of the biggests dairy groups in Germany produces approx 70.000 tons Mozzarella annually in one dairy plant, and they wanted to control the dry matter more effectively directly in the process. In average, they had a dry matter of approx 53,5% before Q-Interline installed and implemented InSight Pro on their GEA production lines.

increased the production output by 1 % equal to approx. 700 tons of mozzarella annually with the same amount of raw milk

The real time measurement of dry matter, salt, fat, and proteins in the production process and the constant monitoring of the stability has enabled the operators to adjust the production very fast when variations in the production stream occurred, particularly regarding dry matter and salt. This has allowed the dairy to reduce the dry matter by more than 1 percent in average over one year’s production.

The direct effect for this dairy has been, that they have increased the production output by 1 percent equal to approx. 700 tons of mozzarella annually with the same amount of raw milk. The profit they obtain with the current price level for mozzarella of 4.810 USD/ton equals to 3,37 mio. USD annually. The investment in the InSight Pro systems amounted approximately to 250,000 USD.

Adding the cloud-based surveillance tool, AnalyticTrust, data is saved in the cloud and ensures 24/7 monitoring of instrument and reassurance of analysis results.

The InSight Pro system requires no scheduled maintenance, and the same base analyzer and technology is used with both at-line and in-line solutions.
