What is milk?
Milk is an opaque white liquid produced by the female mammals, and it provides the primary source of nutrition for newborns, before they are able to digest other types of food. Milk is an emulsion of butterfat globules within a water/protein-based fluid. |
Milk reception and pre-treatment of milk
Projecting a milk powder plant involves many unit operations one being the milk reception and pre-treatment. When milk isreceived at the factory, the quality is tested, before it is sent to the storage tanks. Pre-treatment typically involves pasteurization, separation of fat for standardization and then cooling before further storage and/or processing
Who supply the equipment?
When the GEA Group of companies is supplying complete milk powder factories, the milk reception and pre-treatment is typically designed, engineered and supplied by GEA Liquid Processing or GEA TDS GmbH, who will work together with GEA Niro and the local based GEA company for the installation and integration with the remaining part of the factory.
