Alfa Laval delivers additional equipment for production of nutritional
supplement with Omega-3

Alfa Laval - a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling - has received an order for equipment for production of nutritional
supplement with Omega-3. The order value is approximately SEK 65 million.
Delivery will take place during 2008.

The order is for additional equipment to a process for production of meal and
oil containing high concentrations of Omega-3. In total the order means that
Alfa Laval in short time has received orders related to production of
nutritional supplement with Omega-3 for approximately SEK 150 million.
”Alfa Laval has long experience from delivering knowledge and systems to the
food industry”, says Lars Renström, President and CEO of Alfa Laval. ”During
recent years we have strengthened our knowledge on how proteins can be refined
for use in special products like pharmaceuticals and functional foods.” 


Did you know that Omega-3 is a family of polyunsaturated and nutritional fatty
acids? They are so-called essential nutrients that the human body cannot
synthesize itself and must be obtained from food. There are various types of
Omega-3 fatty acids. Some are called fish fatty acids since they are found in
fish and shellfish, while others are from the vegetable kingdom. Fish contain
these nutritious fatty acids as the result, among other factors, of consuming
micro algae that produce Omega-3.
