Evaporated Milk Plant
Evaporated Milk is a sterilized product. The product finds a large market in tropical countries. It is used where fresh milk is not available. It is also used in cooking and as a Coffee/Tea Whitener.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The manufacturing process for the evaporated milk involves precision standardization of the fat content and the dry solids contents. This is followed by heat treatment which partly destroys the microbes present in the milk. The heat treated milk is then fed to an evaporator, where it is concentrated up to 26% (8% Fat and 18% SNF). The milk is then homogenized(homogenizer) before being cooled. Checks are carried out on the coagulation stability of the milk before it is packaged in the sterilized cans. The product is then placed in an autoclave for sterilization. Finally the cans are cooled before storage.
The different stages in the production of evaporated milk are:
- Standardization
- Evaporation
- Homogenization through homogenizer
- Cooling & Inspection
- Packaging
- Sterilization
- Cooling
- Storage.

Malted Milk is a powdered food product made from mixing of standardised milk, malt extract with wheat flour, and cereal grains in such manner as to secure complete hydrolysis of the starchy material, which is evaporated until it forms a high viscous solution which is then dried in a Vacuum Tray Dryer / Vacuum Band Dryer.
