Milk processing equipment Processing Plant Milk Factory Equipment
Milk processing equipment refers to the machinery and systems used in processing plants and milk factories to transform raw milk into various dairy products. These facilities can range from small-scale operations to large industrial plants, each equipped with specialized equipment to handle different stages of milk processing.
Main functions:
1. Raw milk reception and pretreatment:
Cooling system: Quickly cool fresh milk to around 4 ° C to maintain its freshness.
Filter: Remove impurities and foreign objects from milk.
Standardization equipment: Adjust the fat content and other components in milk to meet specific standards.
2. Sterilization:
Pasteurization machine: kills most harmful microorganisms by heating to 63 ° C and holding for 30 minutes or 72 ° C and holding for 15 seconds.
UHT sterilizer: Heat milk to 135-140 ° C and hold for a few seconds to thoroughly kill all harmful microorganisms.
3. Homogenization:
Homogenizer: Crush the fat globules in milk under high pressure to make their distribution more uniform, improving taste and stability.
4. Separation:
Centrifugal separator: used to separate fat from milk and produce skim milk or whole milk.
5. Concentration:
Evaporator: Concentrate milk by evaporating some moisture, used for producing milk powder or other concentrated products.
6. Fermentation:
Fermentation tank: used for the production of fermented dairy products such as yogurt and cheese.
7. Filling and packaging:
Aseptic filling machine: Fill processed milk into containers in a sterile environment to ensure product safety.
Automatic packaging machine: completes sealing and labeling to ensure the integrity and aesthetics of the product.
8. Quality inspection:

Cost effectiveness: Large scale production reduces unit costs and improves economic efficiency.
Environmental protection and energy conservation: Adopting energy-saving technologies and materials to reduce energy consumption and minimize environmental pollution.
UHT (Ultra High Temperature Instantaneous) milk processing production line is an advanced milk processing technology that sterilizes milk by heating it to extremely high temperatures in a very short time, thereby extending the shelf life of milk without the need for preservatives.
This technology has multiple technological highlights, ensuring the quality, safety, and nutritional value of milk:
1. Ultra high temperature instantaneous sterilization: The core of UHT treatment lies in its fast and efficient sterilization process. Usually, milk is heated to 135-150 ° C and held for a few seconds. This process effectively kills bacteria, molds, and spores in milk, including those that cause milk spoilage, while also maximizing the preservation of milk's natural flavor and nutrients.
2. Aseptic packaging: Milk treated with UHT must be immediately filled and sealed in a sterile environment to prevent external microbial contamination. This aseptic packaging technology is an important component of UHT milk production lines, ensuring that products can have a shelf life of several months even without refrigeration.
3. Efficient and energy-saving: Modern UHT treatment lines adopt advanced heat exchange systems and precise temperature control technology, which can reduce energy consumption while ensuring sterilization effectiveness. This not only reduces production costs, but also contributes to environmental protection.
4. Automation and Intelligence: The UHT milk production line is highly automated, from raw material reception, pretreatment, sterilization, cooling to sterile packaging. The entire process is managed through a computer control system, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency and safety. The intelligent monitoring system can monitor production parameters in real time, adjust them in a timely manner, and ensure the consistency of product quality.
5. Flexibility and Scalability: UHT production lines are designed with flexibility and can be adjusted or expanded according to different production scales and product requirements. Both small dairy companies and large multinational corporations can find suitable solutions.
6. Maintaining nutrition and taste: Despite undergoing high-temperature treatment, the carefully designed UHT process can maximize the retention of nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals in milk, while maintaining the original fresh taste and flavor of milk.
In summary, UHT milk processing technology has become an indispensable part of modern dairy industry due to its efficient sterilization ability, sterile packaging, energy-saving characteristics, high automation, and careful maintenance of product quality.
