Milk powder making line Milk powder production manufacturer
Description:
A milk powder production line is a series of machines and equipment used for producing powdered milk from fresh milk. The process typically involves the following steps:
1. Raw material preparation: select fresh and uncontaminated milk, conduct preliminary processing and inspection to ensure the quality of raw materials.
2. Standardization: adjust the fat content and protein content of milk to meet production standards.
3. Preheating: preheating milk to a certain temperature will help the subsequent concentration and sterilization process.
4. Concentration: evaporate the water in the milk through the evaporator, increase the solid content, and form concentrated milk.
5. Homogenization: break the fat globules in the concentrated milk into smaller particles through the homogenizer to prevent stratification and improve the taste.
6. Sterilization: Heat the concentrated milk to a high temperature for sterilization to ensure the safety of the product.
7. Cooling: The sterilized concentrated milk is quickly cooled to a suitable temperature to prevent bacterial growth.
8. Spray drying: The cooled concentrated milk passes through a spray drying tower to form fine milk powder particles.
9. Cooling and screening: The spray-dried milk powder is cooled to room temperature and passed through a sieve to remove large particles and impurities.
10. Mixing and seasoning (optional): Vitamins, minerals, flavors, etc. are added according to the product type.
11. Filling and sealing: The milk powder is filled into canned or bagged containers and sealed to ensure the hygiene and shelf life of the product.
12. Quality control: Sensory and laboratory tests are performed on the finished product to ensure the safety and quality of the product.
13. Storage and transportation: Store the product in a suitable environment, choose the appropriate transportation method and cold chain system to ensure that the product is not affected by temperature during transportation.
