Remark for technics
1. Milk receiving technics
Fresh milk is collected from milk tank car mostly, a small parts is from leglin. The fresh be tested by
density, acidity, temperature, fat. The certified milk will be filtrate and measured, then be stored in temporary tank. The milk
cooling down by PHE to storage tank or next stage.
2 milk pre-processing technics
a. For whole milk powder: milk from storage tank, after measured to temporary tank. Be transferred to condense stage by pump.
b. For whole sugar powder: Milk from storage tank, be transferred to PHE by pump after measure. Heating to 45-60 ℃ and be feed to
mixing tank. Dissolving sugar and feed to sugar tank. Sugar syrup mixing with milk in mixing tank, and be feed to temporary tank.
c. For whole mixing powder: Milk from storage tank, be transferred to PHE by pump after measure. Heating to 45-60 ℃ and be feed to
mixing tank. Dissolving additive and feed to temporary tank. mixing with milk in tank, after homogenizer in 15Mpa pressure be feed
to temporary tank.
3 condense technics
Transfer milk(12%) to balance tank of evaporator, heating and to 2ed effective heating room,
then go to 1st effective heating room. The sterilizing temperature is 86~94℃, keeping time for 24 seconds, then go to first
effective evaporate room (temperature is 68-70℃) , transferred by pump to second effective room( temperature is 46-50℃). The
consistency could be 45%.
4 Spray drying technics
Condensed milk(45%) be transferd by high pressure pump to drying tower. The milk be sprayed to mist state and meet the hot
wind(160~170℃),become powder quickly and flow down to cone bottom of the tower, then go to flow bed dryer and mixing with
lecithin(1%), the small powder will be big and drying, cooling down to 30~35℃ and in powder tank.
5 packing technics
The milk powder be feeded to packing machine by air, after packing in bags and transferred
by conveyer to storage room. Form milk to powder, all of them in closed equipment, So
without any pollution.
6 CIP system
CIP is controlled by PLC, the liquid level,temperature,acidity is monitored. All
equipment ,piping,valves could by clear by CIP. The evaporator clear by themselves system.
Drying Tower cleared by pressure pump and warm water.
5.7 Control system
All line is controlled by computer with PLC. The main data is flux, temperature and liquid level. All control is done in control
room.
