Overview of infant formula milk powder production line
The infant formula milk powder production line refers to a series of automated and semi automated processes from raw material preparation to final product packaging, aimed at efficiently and safely producing high-quality formula milk powder that meets the nutritional needs of infants and young children. The following is a brief overview of the main components and functions of the infant formula production line:
1, Main equipment and functions
1. Raw material reception and pretreatment
• Raw material reception: Receive and inspect various raw materials (such as milk powder, vegetable oil, whey protein, vitamins, minerals, etc.) to ensure their quality and safety.
• Storage: Store qualified raw materials in dedicated warehouses, keeping them dry and clean to prevent spoilage.
2. Mixing and blending
High shear mixer: Mix basic ingredients such as milk powder, vegetable oil, whey protein, etc. thoroughly in the high shear mixer to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Mixing tank: According to the formula requirements, various vitamins, minerals, and other functional ingredients are accurately added to the mixing tank to ensure that the nutritional value of the product meets the standards.
3. Homogenization and sterilization
Homogenizer: High pressure homogenization treatment is applied to the mixed liquid to make the particles finer and more uniform, improving the stability and taste of the product.
Ultra high temperature instant sterilization (UHT) equipment: Heat the liquid to 135-140 ° C for 2-4 seconds to perform instant sterilization, ensuring sterility and extending shelf life.
4. spray drying
• spray drying tower: transform the sterilized and homogenized liquid formula into powder through the spray drying tower to form the final infant formula.
• Cooling system: rapidly cool the dried milk powder after spray drying to an appropriate temperature (such as 4 ° C) to maintain its freshness and stability.
5. Packaging and Sealing
Aseptic filling machine: directly fill the processed milk powder into the final packaging container (such as iron cans, plastic bags, etc.) to avoid secondary pollution.
Sealing equipment: Use sterile sealing technology to seal packaging containers, ensuring the sealing of the packaging and extending the shelf life.
6. Quality inspection and traceability
Online detection instrument: Real time monitoring of key indicators (such as protein content, fat content, microbial content, etc.) for each production batch to ensure that product quality always meets standards.
Data recording and traceability system: Record detailed information of each production batch, including raw material sources, processing parameters, quality inspection results, etc., to ensure product traceability.
2, Technical highlights
1. Strict quality control
Multi stage filtration and purification: Ensure the purity and safety of all raw materials.
Full process aseptic operation: from raw material processing to finished product packaging, the entire production process is carried out in a sterile environment to ensure the hygiene and safety of the product.
2. Advanced spray drying technology
• spray drying tower: quickly convert the liquid formula into powder, maximize the retention of nutrients, and ensure the quality and stability of milk powder.
3. Full process quality monitoring
Online detection: Real time monitoring of key parameters in the production process to ensure stable product quality and compliance with standards.
Data recording and traceability: A detailed production recording and traceability system ensures that the quality and safety of each batch of products can be traced.
