Inline flash cooler for sweetened condensed milk

Optimize your sweetened condensed milk production with a continuous flash cooler that enhances crystallization and ensures consistent quality in every batch.

Cools and Crystallizes Sweetened Condensed Milk

The Tetra Pak® Flash Cooler SCM is a continuous flash cooling system designed specifically for the efficient production of sweetened condensed milk (SCM) and recombined sweetened condensed milk (RSCM). Engineered for dairy manufacturers and food processing companies, this system excels in precise cooling and crystallization, ensuring superior texture and quality in end-products such as caramel dulce de leche and condensed milk for coffee creamers.

The equipment operates continuously and automatically, integrating seamlessly into existing production lines. Its compact design features a sanitation-in-place (SIP) option with high-temperature cleaning up to 95°C, enhancing operational hygiene. Available in 304 or 316L stainless steel, it offers flexibility to match your production environment’s requirements, improving corrosion resistance and longevity.

Capable of handling capacities ranging from 2 to 20 tonnes of final product per hour, the flash cooler minimizes downtime with its built-in cleaning-in-place (CIP) system. It requires no steam, offering a choice of flexible energy sourcing to reduce operational costs. The robust design includes ergonomic features for easy post-cleaning inspection, vital for maintaining food safety and quality. Customizable to specific process needs, the Tetra Pak® Flash Cooler SCM is a crucial asset for high-volume sweetened condensed milk production.
