Sweetened condensed milk production system
Achieve precise concentration and crystallization for sweetened condensed milk, ensuring consistent quality and taste while minimizing product losses during processing and formulation.
Concentrates and Crystallizes Dairy Products
The RELCO® Sweetened Condensed Milk System by Kovalus Separation Solutions offers a comprehensive solution for dairy producers seeking to enhance the quality and efficiency of sweetened condensed milk production. This system combines milk standardization and sugar integration, followed by multi-stage processes of evaporation, crystallization, and cooling. Utilizing MVR and TVR evaporator technologies, it efficiently concentrates dairy products to up to 73% total solids, optimizing energy use through low-temperature profiles and direct steam injection.
Designed for continuous operation, the system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines with features like sterile tanks and water recovery systems, catering to both liquid and powder end-products. It supports automation with precise temperature and agitation controls, ensuring consistent product viscosity and stability. The equipment is built with tubular heaters and a reprocess vessel for water and milk interface management, minimizing product loss. With options for customizing sugar dosing methods and lactose seeding for optimal crystal formation, this system addresses diverse production needs, fitting well within dairy, food, and beverage industries.
