Introduction
The condensed milk processing line is a fully automated production system designed to make condensed milk, which is milk with most of the water removed. The condensed milk processing line is typically sweetened or unsweetened and used in a variety of food applications such as baking, beverages, desserts and dairy products.
The condensed milk processing line integrates key technologies such as milk collection, concentration, homogenization, pasteurization, and automated filling. This condensed milk processing line ensures efficient production of high-quality, consistent products that maintain flavor, texture and shelf life.
Feature And Advantage
Condensed milk processing line consistent quality: Advanced technology ensures uniform concentration and homogenization, resulting in a smooth, high-quality product.
Condensed milk processing line flexibility: Configurable to produce sweetened and unsweetened condensed milk.
Condensed milk processing line energy saving: The system is designed to reduce energy consumption through an optimized heat exchange and vapor recovery system.
Condensed milk processing line automation: Minimize labor costs and maximize productivity with fully automated processes.
Condensed milk processing line hygiene: Automatic cip (clean in place) ensures the system is thoroughly cleaned between batches, maintaining high hygiene standards.
>> Production Process
Milk reception and preparation
Raw milk storage: Fresh milk is received and stored in temperature-controlled silos or tanks.
Pretreatment: If necessary, milk is filtered or preheated before processing to remove impurities and improve quality.
Milk concentration
Evaporator system: Concentrates milk through evaporation, removing some of the water and forming a thick, creamy product.
Vacuum evaporation: Using vacuum to lower the boiling point of milk, achieving gentle concentration without reducing the nutritional quality or flavor of the product.
Homogenization
Homogenization of concentrated milk ensures even distribution of fat globules, resulting in a smooth, creamy texture.
Sweetener (if applicable)
Added sugar: For sweetened condensed milk, sugar is added to the condensed milk in the right proportions. This system ensures that the sugar is completely dissolved for consistent sweetness.
Pasteurization
Milk is pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria, ensuring safety and extending shelf life without affecting flavor or nutritional content.
Cooling
Cool down After pasteurization, the condensed milk is cooled to the required storage temperature to prevent microbial growth and maintain product quality.
Filling and packaging Filling:
Fill processed condensed milk into a variety of packaging types including cans, bottles and bags using fully automated filling systems. Sealing: The packaging is sealed to ensure hygiene and prevent contamination during storage and transportation.

FAQ
Q: What is condensed milk?
A: Condensed milk is milk that has been concentrated by removing most of the water. It is often sweetened and used in baking, desserts, and beverages.
Q: Can this condensed milk processing line produce sweetened condensed milk and unsweetened condensed milk?
A: Yes, the line can be configured to produce sweetened and unsweetened condensed milk by adjusting the sweetening process and flavoring ingredients.
Q: How is the milk concentrated in this condensed milk processing line?
A: Milk is concentrated using a vacuum evaporator system, which removes most of the water at low pressure to prevent the milk's nutritional properties from decreasing.
