Milk drying system
Optimize your dairy production by efficiently transforming liquid inputs into high-quality, dry powders, ensuring precise moisture control and consistent end-product quality.
Processes Dairy and Nutritional Liquids into Powders
The Milk Drying System from Kovalus Separation Solutions is designed to transform dairy and nutritional liquids into high-quality powders like Non-Fat Dry Milk and Infant Formula Powder. This system features a vertical hot air distributor and vibrating well-mixed beds, ensuring even drying and energy efficiency. It processes a wide variety of dairy products, including encapsulated nutrients and sweet whey, with customizable features such as dual feed nozzles and multi-fuel indirect fired heaters to meet specific product requirements. The system is PLC-controlled for seamless integration into existing production lines and offers reduced energy consumption thanks to its heat recovery capability. Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials, it supports compliance with stringent food industry standards and incorporates an advanced baghouse emissions system, promoting sustainable operation. The design also facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance with retractable CIP nozzles, while its modular setup allows for scale-up and adaptation to various production capacities.
