Pasteurizes, Skims, and Separates Milk Components

The Compact Milk Pasteurizer MWA from GEA is a pre-assembled and pre-tested unit engineered to optimize milk processing for dairy producers and food processing companies. This unit integrates seamlessly into production lines, offering a combination of pasteurization, skimming, and separation. The system includes an integrated skimming separator that effectively splits milk into cream and skim milk, ensuring high product purity by eliminating non-milk particles through centrifugal force.

This equipment supports a wide range of applications, producing end-products like whole milk, skim milk, standardized milk, and diverse cream types, along with cheeses such as Cheddar and Gouda, and fermented products like yogurt and kefir. With processing capacities ranging from 2000 to 35,000 liters per hour, the unit is adaptable to varying scale operations and features energy-efficient heat recovery, reducing energy use by up to 92%.

Automation options range from semi-automatic to fully automated controls, with integration capabilities via digital I/Os or Profibus for enhanced operational efficiency. Compliance with ISO 9001 standards ensures consistent quality, while the system’s CIP compatibility allows for effective cleaning and quick maintenance, minimizing downtime. Tailored configurations, such as adding a bacteria clarifier for spore reduction or a high-pressure homogenizer for enhanced product texture, are available, providing flexibility to meet specific production requirements.

Benefits
