Milk Powder Plant By Ssp Pvt. Ltd

Drying extends the shelf life of milk apart from reducing the weight and volume. Drying lowers the cost of transportation also.

The initial solid in the milk varies from 7.5% to 12% depending upon type of milk and the final moisture in the powder ranges between 2.5% and 4%. Since drying is an energy intensive process. Following operational plants are used to make it energy efficient:
* Multistage Evaporator
* Spray Dryer
* Vibro Fluid Bed Dryer as second stage dryer

Milk is concentrated up to 45-48% solid concentration in Multiple Effects Falling Film Evaporator with TVR System. Evaporation of water takes place under vacuum conditions and at low temperature. A Five Effect Falling Film Evaporator with TVR over 3rd effect will have specific steam consumption of 0.12 kg/kg whereas a seven effect plant with TVR over 4th effect gives specific steam consumption of 0.09 kg/kg which is equivalent to energy consumption in MVR evaporator.
