The Challenge
A Northern European dairy cooperative with 8,000+ milk producer members needed to optimize caseinate powder drying control. Forced to run dryers slower to meet moisture standards, consuming excess energy and limiting throughput at a facility processing 500,000 tons of milk per year.
The Solution
FactoryTalk Analytics PavilionX closed-loop moisture control predictive model to infer powder moisture and automate dryer control, increasing line capacity while maintaining quality and reducing energy usage.
Results
Up to 42% reduction in quality variability and 0.12%-0.38% increase in production capacity on caseinate spray tower lines. Significant energy reduction.
Key Takeaways
Closed-loop predictive process control for spray drying reduces quality variability by 42% while simultaneously increasing throughput, demonstrating that AI-driven control can optimize the classic trade-off between product quality and production rate.
