Milk Powder Processing Equipment

Mixing in the powder handling industry generally involves combining granules such as sugar, salt, dairy or milk powders, with large quantities of liquids to form a homogeneous composition. This mixture will turn into liquid or semi-solid, forming a cream, dough or paste. The blending process then gently combines granules and powders so both materials are inseparable but not homogenous. The blending process can be done with solids or small amounts of liquids. Blended products include cake mixes or colouring expanded cereals.

Our blending and mixing equipment is specially designed to tailor to specific process requirements of your products, such as high speed, low or high shear mixers, inline blending, energy-efficient mixing and much more. Mixing and blending can be done in either a continuous or batch process.

Before processing materials by mixing and blending, you must weigh, metre, and batch materials of all sizes to ensure the consistency of your final composition. Whether you are in the business of milk powder, seasonings, or baked goods, you will be able to make good use of our weighing and batching systems to ensure quality control of your products. Here at Pneu Powders Systems, we even have equipment of many sizes to suit systems from as small as micro ingredient systems with minuscule doses to 90-tonne flour silos that metre out materials by the tonne.

Our systems also use innovative control panels and recipe management to ensure the quality of your products. These functions include SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) or HMI (Human Machine Interface) and can be used by your employees for effective inventory control, reporting, and process visualisation.

Pneu Powders Systems specialised milk and dairy powder processing equipment ensures accurate and consistent packaging in various forms. Our solutions include stretch wrappers, case packers, and palletisers, ensuring compliance with local standards and climate conditions.

Pneumatic conveying is a method that uses compressed air to transport milk powder within production setups. This process ensures the efficient and gentle movement of the powder, minimising degradation and contamination. Our vacuum conveying systems are designed to transport light products over short distances, ensuring rapid yet gentle movement. For heavier milk powder products, our pressure dense phase conveying systems are ideal.

Milk powder mixing is a nuanced process that combines granules and powders with liquids to achieve a uniform blend. The right milk powder processing equipment ensures the mixture maintains its desired consistency, whether forming a cream, dough, or paste. Our advanced equipment, such as high-speed, low or high shear mixers, ensures the delicate nature of milk powders is preserved while achieving a homogeneous blend.

Drying milk powder is a critical step, transforming liquid milk into a stable, fine powder. Techniques such as vacuum belt drying and flash drying are employed to preserve the milk’s essential nutrients and flavours. Pneu Powders Systems supplies specialised drying equipment, including dehumidification systems to ensure the powder’s optimal consistency and quality. Our milk powder equipment caters to both fine powders and instant drink formulations, emphasising precision and efficiency.

Milk powder canning is a meticulous process that uses high-performance seamers and precise filling equipment. Special attention is given to infant formula with ionised air systems ensuring clean cans. Pneu Powders Systems’ milk powder handling equipment further enhances the precision and safety of this packaging stage.
