Plant-based Milk Dosing Equipment

Although the first association with almond milk might be the modern plant-based lifestyle trend, it is dated even back to the Middle Ages when it was used as an alternative to cow milk during Catholic fasting. Once harvested, almonds undergo a series of treatments in almond milk manufacturing equipment, such as bleaching, peeling, and grinding, to get the delicious final product for breakfast and desserts.

Creamier, sweeter and versatile are the key adjectives when talking about cashew milk, especially compared to other plant-based milk. Additionally, it is rich in vitamins B and D, as well as essential minerals. Being a blend of cashew kernels and water, the cashew nut milk processing equipment includes a peeling and washing machine, a colloid mill, and a blending tank.

Cashew milk

Although invented in the 1990s by Rickard Öste, oat milk has only recently grown to be one of the most popular milk alternatives in coffee shops, and it owes it to its smooth mouthfeel and creamy texture. Extracted the plant materials from oats with water, this non-dairy milk is high in fibers, low in saturated fats, and eco-friendly. Oat milk processing equipment helps prepare raw materials, starting with harvest over kilning and making them into flakes or flour, and mixing the prepared materials with water and enzymes.

Oat milk

Crafted from alternative sources like almonds, soy, or coconut, this dairy alternative is a commitment to ethical and sustainable dietary choices. The process involves fermenting plant-derived milk substitutes with probiotic cultures, resulting in a creamy result. Bursting with nutrients and friendly to the environment, plant-based yogurt aligns with the growing demand for cruelty-free and eco-conscious food options, offering a tasty alternative for those seeking a plant-powered lifestyle.

Plant-based yogurt

First mentioned on a stone slab of the Eastern Han dynasty in ancient China, soy milk has survived centuries and spread from Asia to Global consumption due to the rising popularity of plant-based alternatives. To produce soymilk, raw materials must be harvested, prepared, and blended with water and desired ingredients, such as flavors and vitamins, in soymilk processing equipment.

Chinese legend has it that tea was created by accident over 2700 years BC. A servant boiled drinking water for his emperor when leaves from the Camellia sinensis tree fell into it – and the emperor decided to taste the drink. While to make tea nowadays on a medium to large-scale you need tea processing equipment like dryers instead of just a tree and wind blowing it, mythology adds a special flavor to the tea industry story.

Laundry detergents are currently on the rise due to increasing urbanization and the need for automation. The global market will reach $98,139.7 million by 2030 from $61,711.0 in 2020, influencing the demand for laundry detergent equipment. Unlike in Western countries, powdered detergents are more popular in Asia and China because they’re cheaper.

Laundry detergent

Although invented in the early 20th century by Otto Rohm, detergents gained popularity in the 1950s due to the development of modern technology and washing machines which started replacing scrub boards. The liquid detergent manufacturing process involves three key stages: soap premix manufacture, ingredient mixing and enzyme addition.

High-frequency inspection process

Fill level inspection ensures that each container is filled with exactly the desired volume of the product during a liquid filling operation. While transparent containers can utilize optical sensors for level detection, difficult to see through containers, such as cans or cartons lined with aluminum, must be scanned using X-rays. When choosing fill level inspection equipment, the size, shape, and opacity of the container must be considered. The production speed, the desired accuracy, and the amount of foaming on the liquid surface are also important parameters to consider. Fill level inspection systems are used to comply with quality control standards.

Dosing equipment

Dosing systems are a line of hoppers, feeders, filling machines, and checkweighers that operate in sync to dispense materials accurately. Dosing is an essential feature of the packaging process, whether you’re filling shampoo bottles or tea bags. But dosing equipment is critical for formulations, too, particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Imprecise dosing may cause quality degradation in the best-case scenario. In the worst scenario, it creates serious health risks.

A beverage is any kind of liquid or drink, usually other than water, made for human consumption. Beverages are further classified into two categories: alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages refer to liquids that contain 1% to 75% of liquor and are produced by fermentation such as wine, beer, or distillation such as vodka, rum, tequila. Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that don’t have any liquor such as tea, coffee, fruit juices, soft drinks, and carbonated beverages. They can be produced premix or postmix, depending on the setup of your production line.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

Liquid

With the right processing machines, almonds, cashews, pine nuts, hemp, coconut, oat and soy can be processed into healthy plant-based milk. To produce it, grind the raw materials, screen, soak and mix them till you obtain a milky white liquid.

Filling lines are used extensively in all industries, such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetics, to accurately package different products into a container suitable for that product. Although the filling process is at the very end of the production line, it is no less important than the earlier steps. Last but not least, the idiom that dates back to 1382 when John Wyclif wrote the firste the laste, and the laste the firste, indicates just that the last things on a list are just as valuable as the previous ones. In this case, this idiom fits perfectly.

Filling

Industrial measurement equipment is used as a crucial step before products leave the production line. These measuring instruments check for correct dosage and standards. Equipment for measurement and control employs a wide range of technologies to detect inconsistencies in volumes, sizes, weights, and fill levels as well as to inspect goods for quality against a set of criteria. Specialized measuring tools allow you to minimize the probability for error to its lowest possible, ensuring that both products and packaging meet your benchmarks.

In 2009, billionaire Stanley Ho made the winning bid for a giant white truffle weighing 3.3 pounds during an auction. Price: $330,000. Looking at the price, there's no need to explain why truffles are called the diamonds of the kitchen. After harvesting, they are selected to be sold fresh or processed to make truffle products such as truffle cream. Truffle processing involves cleaning, cutting, grinding, cooking, packaging, and sterilizing.

The rapeseed flower evolved high concentrations of substances that are anti-nutritive at best and toxic at worst. But new varieties developed in the 1970s lowered the content of glucosinolates and erucic acids. From then, the use of oilseed rape spread to several applications, from edible oil to biofuel to animal feed. Rapeseed oil processing technology has thus become foundational to industries spanning food production, energy, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Rapeseed oil

Chocolate milk is a beverage containing milk flavored with chocolate powder or chocolate syrup. Cocoa powder, sweetener, sugar, and carrageenan are mixed with the milk and then pasteurized. As cocoa powder has a higher density than milk, carrageenan is used as a thickening agent to prevent cocoa powder from settling to the bottom.

X-ray inspection is used to detect foreign objects and to identify quality issues during production. It works by detecting contaminants or defects on the basis of variation in density from the standard product. Inspection systems based on X-rays can also be used to detect the fill level in opaque containers and to locate air bubbles, breakage and other manufacturing defects. Choosing a suitable X-ray inspection system requires consideration of the physical form of the product, the type of product container, desired sensitivity, production line speed, and the specific inspection objectives.

Battered nuts, also known as cracker nuts or Japanese style peanuts, are a variation of peanut snack products. The general manufacturing process includes peeling and slicing the peanuts, coating these with batter and seasoning, frying in oil, cooling, and packing, ready for consumption.

Battered nuts

Peanut, which (ironically) is a legume, is the make-or-break ingredient of your mixed nuts manufacturing process. “Deluxe” packs tend to avoid them, as their price is much more affordable than other nuts, therefore not being premium. For a regular mix, on the other hand, peanuts can be the major ingredient you’ll include.

Mixed nuts

To put into perspective, the average number of peanuts that you use to make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter is 540 pieces. Peanut butter is widely used as a spread for most bread and biscuits. To make it, use raw peanuts and process them using peanut butter making machines.

Peanut butter

Peanuts, also known as groundnuts are one of the most popular edible seeds in the world. You can eat them as-is or process them further into on-the-shelf products like peanut butter, oil, snacks, and soups. Depending on what you want to make, some peanut manufacturing processes include roasting, frying, boiling, grinding, pressing, and coating the peanuts.

Roasted nuts

Pistachio nuts offer several health benefits and are very nutritious. The most common way they are enjoyed is when they are roasted or eaten raw. Generally, pistachios are harvested when the shell splits. They are mechanically shaken and caught in a tarp. Furthermore, you can hull and dry them properly before roasting. To achieve all of this, you will need special pistachio processing equipment

Plant-based milk is nutritional as well as being rich in both flavour and texture. The search for healthy dairy free milk is increasing in the US and other countries, as it is lower in calories and saturated fat than cow milk. <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200305005398/en/Global-Plant-Based-Milk-Market-is-Expected-to-Reach-US21.52-Billion-in-2024-Growing-at-a-CAGR-of-10.18---ResearchAndMarkets.com">Plant based milk in US is expected to reach $21.52 billion in 2024,</a> and it is growing at an annual growth rate of 10.18%.

You can create pure dairy-free milk, or you could blend it with dairy products such as cow milk. If you want it pure, grind the nuts, starch or legumes and water in a colloid mill, then filter the milk with a mesh sieve. Lastly, use a sterilizer to remove bacteria from the milk and fill it into bottles. For the blended version, mix cow milk with the nuts before grinding.

Using alternative milk processing machines

Emulsifiers like sunflower lecithin help the milk to stay well dispersed, giving the milk a consistent texture. A peeling machine helps you to separate the nut kernels from the skin, while a milk maker crushes the nut to extract the milk. This apples to all different types of nuts such as almonds, <a href="https://making.com/cashews">cashews</a>, pine nuts and <a href="https://making.com/hazelnuts">hazelnuts</a>.

Sterilization is essential in plant milk production because it kills the microorganisms that are present in the milk. So when you package the product, it can stay for up to 6 months on the shelves.

There are some precautionary actions you need to take to <a href="https://making.com/technologies/sterilization">sterilize the plant-based milk</a>. If your product is made from nuts, you first need to ensure that you are not using rancid or contaminated nuts. Always use fresh nuts. To keep the nuts fresh for up to 3 months, store them in airtight containers.

Secondly, you need to ensure that the nuts are <a href="https://making.com/technologies/washing">washed with filtered water</a> before grinding. Next, sterilize the milk by heating it in sealed containers continuously at 115° C for at least 15 minutes.

The importance of sterilizing plant-based milk

<h2>Effect of plant-based milk production on the environment</h2>
In the last 5 years, the <a href="https://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Article/2016/04/15/Almond-milk-sales-continue-to-surge-as-dairy-milk-contracts-Nielsen">production and sales</a> of almond milk have grown 250% to more than $894.6 million. This means that these types of milk have become a popular choice for both vegans and those that want to reduce carb intake. Milk alternatives from plants, such as soy milk, are nutritious, low in calories and don't raise blood sugar. Commercial production is contributing a lot of people choose a healthier lifestyle.

The only downside of plant-based milk production is that it is taking a toll on the environment. <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=https://sustainability.ucsf.edu/1.713%23:~:text%3DAs%2520cited%2520in%2520an%2520article,intensive%2520crops%2520in%2520the%2520state.&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjEoYHKlZb1AhUE3IUKHZRiD9gQFnoECAQQBQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw3bzusdlY6TxGphnYVhiDVX">It takes 16 gallons of water just to produce 16 </a><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=https://sustainability.ucsf.edu/1.713%23:~:text%3DAs%2520cited%2520in%2520an%2520article,intensive%2520crops%2520in%2520the%2520state.&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjEoYHKlZb1AhUE3IUKHZRiD9gQFnoECAQQBQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw3bzusdlY6TxGphnYVhiDVX">almonds</a><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=https://sustainability.ucsf.edu/1.713%23:~:text%3DAs%2520cited%2520in%2520an%2520article,intensive%2520crops%2520in%2520the%2520state.&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjEoYHKlZb1AhUE3IUKHZRiD9gQFnoECAQQBQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw3bzusdlY6TxGphnYVhiDVX">,</a> making almonds a water-intensive crop.

Basically, to make milk powder, you need to remove the water content from the liquid milk and turn it into powder. How to do it? After pasteurizing and homogenizing the milk, milk’s water content is removed through filtration, evaporation, and drying. You have then to cool and sieve it before filling the containers. Here's how you get milk powder.

Milk powder

Milk can be consumed as a stand-alone product (whole, low-fat or skim) or can be the starting point for food industry products such as cheese, butter, yogurt, condensed milk, and ice cream. In order to process milk and other dairy products, you need specialized dairy production equipment which then encapsulates different processes such as pasteurization, homogenization, and fermentation.
