For 2018, the Breakthrough Award for Dairy Ingredient Innovation, a competition hosted by the Elmhurst, Ill.-based American Dairy Products Institute and Dairy Foods, goes to Caloris Engineering and Lone Star Dairy Products LLC.
A joint venture of Lake Forest, Ill.-based Hoogwegt U.S. and Wichita Falls, Texas-headquartered Lone Star Milk Producers, Lone Star Dairy Products processes approximately 2.5 million pounds of locally sourced milk per day into value-added dairy ingredients at its Canyon, Texas, facility. Like many other dairy processors, Lone Star Dairy Products found itself challenged in achieving consistent daily production of milk powders with low spore counts, according to Bruce Skinner, sales manager for Easton, Md.-based Caloris Engineering. Skinner submitted the entry on behalf of Lone Star Dairy Products and Caloris Engineering.
