Baby Food

SPX has extensive experience in the design and installation of systems for dairy-based baby foods and has process solutions for each particular product type, for example:

• Infant formulas as a substitute for human milk

• Speciality formulas for specific nutritional needs
• Fermented baby foods

SPX also has process solutions for a range of cereal-based baby foods, rusks, biscuits and "wet" baby foods containing meat, vegetables and fruit. These are described in the "Processed Food" section of this site.

This in-depth knowledge and active involvement in the development of the world's baby food industry, combined with proven experience in project management of major capital projects, makes SPX the ideal partner for the design and installation of state-of-the-art processing equipment.
