offers milk processing plant for minimum milk handling capacity 5000 litres
per day and the maximum Milk handling capacity -500,000 litres per day. Wide
range of products likes ghee, butter, cream, toned milk, double toned milk,
and skimmed milk can also be manufactured.
Milk is first received in a dump tank from the road milk tankers. It is
then chilled in a chilling unit to 4ºC. This chilled milk is then
pasteurized in a milk pasteurizer and cream is separated from milk by the
cream separator to get skimmed milk. Milk is standardized depending on the
requirement of toned milk, double toned milk, skimmed milk or full cream
The separated cream is further processed to manufacture ghee and butter.
The pasteurized skimmed milk, toned milk or double toned milk is sent for
packing in pouches in the packing machine for various capacities like ½
kg, 1 kg pouches. The plant will be in operation for 20 hours in a day.
Drying extends the shelf life of milk apart from reducing the weight and volume.
Drying lowers the cost of transportation also.
The initial solid in the milk varies from 7.5% to 12% depending upon type
of milk and the final moisture in the powder ranges between 2.5% and 4%.
Since drying is an energy intensive process, the energy efficient evaporator
and dryers are used for the milk powder plant.
SSP offers Milk Powder Plant for capacity 10 kg/h to 60 Ton/day powder
production. Milk powder plant produces skimmed milk powder and whole milk
Milk powder plant comprise following components :
- Multiple Effect Falling Film Energy Efficient Evaporator
- Energy Efficient Spray Dryer
- Vibro Fluid Bed Dryer Cum Cooler as Second Stage Dryer
- Lecithination System for Whole Milk Powder
Milk is concentrated up to 45-48% solid concentration in Multiple
Effects Falling Film Evaporator with TVR System. Evaporation of water takes
place under vacuum conditions and at low temperature. A Five Effect Falling
Film Evaporator with TVR over 3rd effect will have specific steam
consumption of 0.12 kg/kg whereas a seven effect plant with TVR over 4th
effect gives specific steam consumption of 0.09 kg/kg which is equivalent to
energy consumption in MVR evaporator.
During drying in spray dryer, the excess water present in free form between
the particles of the dry solids gets evaporated easily. Whereas last stage
of evaporation demands more energy as water contained in pores and
capillaries of the solid particles need to be evaporated. These last drops
of water are removed from milk solid in a Vibro Fluid Bed Dryer which
requires less energy for removal of balance moisture.
The combination of multiple effect evaporators, spray dryer with fines
recirculation system and use of a 'Vibro Fluid Bed Dryer', produces powder
with extremely good solubility called instant powder.
SSP also offers lecithination system integrated with the milk powder plant
to manufacture whole milk powder. The lecithin treatment for lecithination
refers to the coating of powders by a wetting agent consisting of lecithin
dissolved in butter oil or low-melting oil. The wetting agent is sprayed directly on the powder under vigorous fluidization in a vibrating fluid bed
dryer. Excellent quality WMP is produced with this system.
SSP ensures supply of most energy efficient plant which produces instant
powder of highest quality.
SSP offers malted milk plant for different capacities. SSP is experienced in the
manufacture of malted milk plant.
Malted milk food is the product obtained by mixing whole milk or partially
skimmed milk or milk powder with malt extract and cereal grain flour in such
a manner as to secure complete hydrolysis of the starchy material. It should
not contain added sugars, fat and added colours and preservatives. The
manufacturing process consists of the following stages :
- Blending of ingredients like malt extract, milk or milk powder, grain
flour etc in required proportion.
- Concentration of the slurry in scraped surface evaporator.
- Vacuum Drying of the concentrate.
- Pulverization of the dried product.
- Packing of malted food.
