Cleaning in dairy production

The plant receives 250 tons of raw milk daily. Centrifugal milk purifiers and pumps with an average cost of 2,500,000 rubles are being received. Repairing a milk purifier costs about 250,000 rubles. When receiving untreated milk, mechanical impurities enter the equipment components. With a purchase price of raw materials of 36 rubles per liter and a loss of milk during unloading with sludge of about 300 liters per day, the plant loses 324,000 rubles per month. Total losses during equipment repairs and unloading are about 574,000 rubles.

Use of the UVMILK Slot Filter at the receiving site XL and Milk Filter UVMILK Titan allows you to ensure stable operation of milk receiving equipment, thereby protecting production from forced downtime, as well as high-quality purification of raw milk for further processing. Filtration costs: By investing 320,000 rubles at a time on filtration, you will receive stable milk receiving equipment and savings on its repairs and milk losses of more than 570,000 rubles. Filter payback period: about two weeks.

«In the semi-hard cheese production workshop, we have been using filters from the UVMILK company for several years. We pass the mixture to make cheese through the UVMILK filter unit. The cleaning fineness of the installation is 10 microns. After use, dirt and carbon deposits are visible on the filter, which come out of the grease trap. We are very pleased with the filters.

At first we used 5 micron filters, but they clogged very quickly, so we increased the micron size. With ten-micron filters the results are excellent. We change filters once a day. In addition, we purchased water filters from UVMILK and installed them on 4 lines. We change every 10 days. The result is much better than with filters from another manufacturer.”

Volga processing plant, Chuvashia

The cold storage plant produces 20 tons of ice cream daily. Due to discrepancies in weight and shape parameters, up to 1 ton is rejected. With an average price of 600 rubles per kilogram of ice cream, the lost profit is 600,000 rubles per day. According to the technological process, it is permissible to use substandard products up to 5% of the volume of the produced batch of ice cream. In this case, the substandard must be cleaned of debris and sawdust of wooden sticks, chocolate and wafer crumbs, and remnants of fillers. At the same time, it is necessary to normalize the organoleptic characteristics of the rejected ice cream and emulsion.

Using the UVMILK filter for whole milk and emulsion allows you to remove all unwanted inclusions from substandard products, thereby preparing them for reuse. Additionally, the texture of the emulsion is evened out, making the product more uniform. By investing 70,000 rubles at a time on a set of housing and filter elements, you will be able to recycle substandard products and receive no losses due to rejection of more than 600,000 rubles daily. Filter payback period: one day.

“When producing condensed milk, we are faced with the task of ensuring stable organoleptic characteristics. After pasteurization, burnt marks formed in the raw materials, affecting the color and smell of the product. Also, the consistency of the finished product required additional homogenization and cleaning from undissolved particles. The previously installed filter was deformed under pressure.

It was decided to install a UVMILK filter for fine purification of milk after pasteurizer and a UVMILK slot filter for condensed milk, which retains lumps and undissolved sugar. As a result of filtration, milk leaves the pasteurizer without dark inclusions or burnt marks. The consistency of the finished product has improved, eliminating unwanted lumps and grains of caramelized syrup.”

Dairy plant, Belgorod region

After collecting 10 tons of milk per day from several farms, the collector pours the milk into a common tank. It happens that mastitis products, particles of feed, hay, bedding, wool and insects slip through, which significantly affects the cost of milk and its indicators: purity group, somatics, QMAFAnM, acidity, fat content. If the dairy plant detects dirty milk, acceptance will be refused or the milk will be accepted at a minimum price as substandard. In the worst case scenario, losses amount to 10 tons at 18 rubles/l or 180,000 rubles. in a day.

Using the UVMILK Medium filter will reduce the level of bacteria and somatics, while maintaining the original fat, protein and dry matter content. The quality and shelf life will increase. By investing 60,000 rubles. for a set of housing and filter elements, you will sell the entire volume of milk and receive an additional payment due to the improvement of its performance. Cost difference: 1.5 rubles per liter: 10 tons of milk * 1.5 rubles * 30 days = 450,000 rubles. Filter payback period: 4 days.

“We accept milk from several distributors; during pumping, dirt is not always visible, but when draining from the tank, there is sediment in the last liters. We use 10-ton filters from UVMILK to purify the milk we accept. At the inlet, the filters are white, clean, at the outlet all mechanical impurities and all sorts of nasty things remain on them. There are no complaints about the filters, they work great.

We tried filters from other manufacturers, but the quality of both the filters themselves and the milk after cleaning was noticeably worse. We have been working with the UVMILK company since 2017. Since our cooperation, there have been fewer complaints from dairy factories about milk contamination. We don’t want to risk the quality of milk; we work with a trusted supplier.”
