The production of dry dairy products, such as milk powder, whey, casein, or baby formula can be challenging, as these products typically come with their own set of unique characteristics that need to be catered for. Your final product may also be a blend or a batch of these individual products, which creates additional complexity. Foremost however, it is essential that milk powder processing and production takes place in a sanitary environment. This is where closed loop milk powder processing equipment like a pneumatic powder conveying system can aid in safer and quicker production.
A Reliable and Innovation Solution
Pneumatic conveying systems can move bulk dry dairy products like milk powder efficiently through the manufacturing plant. Conveying systems can move everything from raw ingredients to finished products within the manufacturing plant with little to no problems or extraneous requirements. Your finished products which have been processed in a wholly sanitary manner can then be packaged and be placed in pallets, or delivered in bulk bags to a secondary station or location like packaging stations, freezers, and warehouses to be stored and distributed accordingly.
The type of pneumatic powder conveying system you’ll need for your milk powder production depends on the end product being produced. A baby formula company will require a different conveying system than an ice cream company, even if they use similar milk processing and milk powder producing equipment. This is due to the different operating temperatures and different formulations required for each product.
Improved Operations
Overall, you can put your manpower to better use by installing pneumatic conveying systems with components that can be easily removed and cleaned, or even cleaned in place (CIP). This saves the need for specialised operators and cleaning staff to dismantle the equipment for maintenance or cleaning. The pneumatic conveying system you opt for should be able to be fully washed down and can even have an integrated washing system.
A pneumatic conveying system for powders has a number of advantages over a mechanical transport system. Pneumatic conveying systems can move dry bulk materials faster at a lower cost. They also give you the ability to adapt to virtually any site configuration, with an ease of maintenance that leads to higher return of your investment.
Pneumatic conveyors increase portability, safety and efficiency and reduce dangerous or tedious repetitive product movement with portable feed bin hoppers. External or physical impacts on your fragile products are reduced and breakdown of the materials are prevented. Manufacturing plants come in different sizes and not all have an ample amount of space. Pneumatic conveying systems can function perfectly well with limited floor space and compact layouts and have specially designed access for ease and convenience.
Milk powder production typically also requires dust control systems for safety. Quality filtration systems ensure a dust free environment for quality dry dairy products. Pneumatic powder conveying systems also enables better and consistent product quality, reduces the need for manpower and product handling, improves production flow through the manufacturing plant, steadies production rate through the lesser maintenance required and ultimately helps you increase production while significantly reducing the cost for storage and plant operations.
