FrieslandCampina Ingredients and AGT Foods have developed
solutions for plant-based products. The new The
Plantaris range will first feature Plantaris Pea Isolate 85 A
and Plantaris Faba Isolate 90 A. Both solutions have been
designed to overcome common formulation challenges
associated with plant proteins – particularly the flavour
off-notes of pea proteins, which consumers can find unappealing.
The new, light cream-coloured protein powders
will help brands expand their protein product offerings
and meet high consumer expectations for taste,
texture and performance.
Combining the technical expertise of the two companies,
both ingredients are extracted using a gentle, chemicalfree
manufacturing process, and are specially processed
to ensure dispersibility, solubility, stability, and low dusting.
Well suited for a wide variety of applications, they
are also gluten free and a good source of essential amino
acids, such as leucine and branch chain amino acids
(BCAA). These ingredients have a very high protein content,
which helps to optimally stimulate muscle protein
synthesis.

Vacuum filter for maximum hygiene
ANDRITZ
ANDRITZ has launched Nutrion – an innovative vacuum
drum filter with a hygiene-optimized design that
ensures high-quality end products for demanding
sectors such as food. It features a self-emptying filter
trough, a vapor-tight hood, and advanced control options.
Compared to traditional vacuum drum filters, the
Nutrion vacuum filter from ANDRITZ has multiple improved
features to eliminate any risk of contamination
– an essential requirement for separation equipment
in the pharmaceutical or food industry. Its filter
trough is designed without any internal mechanical
components and with self-emptying capability,
simplifying the maintenance process and increasing
cleanliness in this sensitive area. The vapor-tight hood
eliminates the risk of contamination, with integrated
nozzles for fully automatic cleaning in place (CIP) as
well as optional cake washing.
An innovative, magnetic clamping device takes filtercloth
installation to the next level by eliminating dirt
traps and reducing downtime for cloth changes. For
pre-coat applications, the product quality and staff
safety are also enhanced by the addition of a pre-coat
scraper with step motors, again with CIP and a fully
enclosed design. Nutrion ensures increased safety
for staff, highest hygiene, and product quality, while
ensuring greater availability and minimizing manual
interventions.
