Milk Intake Unit

​

Milk Entry and Inspection: The milk truck arrives at the milk reception point of the factory and is automatically connected to the milk reception unit or milk is poured. The milk is usually transferred to a storage tank.

 

Pre-treatment and Filtering: Milk is directed from the storage tank to the pre-treatment facility within the factory. At this stage, the milk is usually filtered and removed from large particles (with cleaning separator and line filters). Additionally, the purity of the milk is checked.

 

Standard Controls and Analyzes: Laboratory or automated systems within the factory control the quality and composition of the milk. Parameters such as pH level, fat content, protein amount are measured and the milk's compliance with quality standards is examined. It makes it possible to take samples easily and hygienically with the hygienic sampling valve on the line.

 

Storage and Processing of Milk: Milk that passes quality control is directed to storage tanks. Here, milk is stored and prepared for the necessary processing steps to enter the production process of dairy products.

​

Product Processing Stages: Milk is processed into various dairy products. For example, cheese, yoghurt, cream or pasteurized milk can be produced from milk. Different processing steps and techniques are used for each product.

 

Packaging and Distribution: Processed products are generally packaged and made ready through automatic packaging machines. Then, storage or shipment operations are carried out according to the distribution network.

​

CIP: After milk collection is completed, the system does not automatically wash itself when the operator puts it in CIP mode and starts it.

​

This process represents the journey of milk within the factory with automatic milk receiving units. Automated systems play an important role in the dairy industry by making milk processing processes faster, more efficient and of higher quality.
