total solids measurement for milk processing

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the processing of milk and its derivatives, focusing on the measurement of total solids in milk products using the HK1-M evaluation unit. This is crucial for ensuring quality in dairy production.

Milk Processing
Milk, whether from cows, goats, or sheep, is the base for all dairy products. It undergoes heat treatment and pasteurization before production. The total solids (TS) measurement includes all milk constituents except water, such as protein, fat, lactose, minerals, trace elements, and vitamins.

Product Descriptions
  • Cream: Derived from the rich part of milk, used to make products like cream and butter.
  • Butter: Produced by mechanically destroying fat globules in cream to form butter grains.
  • Buttermilk: A byproduct of butter production, refined from remaining cream constituents.
  • Consumption Milk: Includes fresh milk, UHT milk, pasteurized milk, and various fat content levels like skimmed (0.3%), defatted (1.5%), and full cream (3.8%).
  • Evaporated Milk: Made by removing water through evaporation.
  • Cream Cheese: Produced by acidifying milk with lactobacilli, resulting in curd, cream, or cottage cheese.
  • Yogurt: Made by acidulating milk with lactobacilli, coagulating milk protein, and sometimes adding fruit preparations.
  • Milk Soft Drinks: Mixtures with flavors like cocoa or strawberry.

Measurement and Technology
The HK1-M unit uses digital microwave technology at 2.45 GHz to measure total solids in milk products. This is essential for quality assurance before adding fruits and spices. The system includes inline sensors in a flow cell, displaying TS values and providing an analogue signal output. It features basic calibration, simple start-up, rugged design, and maintenance-free operation.

Technical Specifications
  • Temperature range: -20 to +85°C
  • Protection: IP65
  • Connectivity: RS232 / RS485
  • Softkeys for operation

total solids measurement for milk processing-1

Dairy Products, Creameries milk processing: milk products, cream, curd, jogurt measurements for fabrication of liquid and pasty products total solids measurement for milk processing latest digital microwave technique at 2,45 GHz. milk products is a relevant issue The origin of every milk product is the milk. Independent if the milk is from cows, goats or sheep. With the value of the total solids (TS) all constituents (like protein, fat, lactose, mineral materials, trace elements, vitamins etc.) of the milk or of a milk product are summarised, except water. Before the production starts, the milk has to be treated by heat and pasteurisation. cream: From the rich part of the milk different products like cream or butter are fabricated. A big portion will be processed industrially. butter: The cream is affected as long as the shells of the small fat bullets are mechanically destroyed and butter grains are emerged. Sour-, Standardbutter. buttermilk: In the butter process the rich butter grains are mechanically kneaded and the rest of the cream constituents are fluxional refined. consumption milk: Generic term for all kinds of milk in the stability levels milk products fresh milk, UHT milk, pasteurised milk and the different fat content levels skimmed milk 0,3%, defatted milk 1,5%, fresh full cream milk 3,8% evaporated milk: The water of the milk is revoked by evaporation. cream cheese: Acidification of the milk with lactobacilli. In accordance to the consistency its devided in curd-, cream- and cottage cheese. jogurt: The milk acidulates by lactobacilli and the milk protein coagulates. gerinnt. Heating until the required degree of oxygen is achieved . Belated fruit preparations. Standard jogurt, preserved und stirred jogurt. milk soft drinks: Intermixtures of e.g. cocoa- and strawberry powder. For the quality assurance of the intermediate product the measurement of the total solids is performed, before fruits and spices are added. The measurement is effected by two inline sensors in a flow cell directly in the pipe. The TS-value is displayed by the evaluation unit HK1-M and is also available as 0/4-20mA analogue-signal-output. flow cell / sensors Basic calibration at delivery, simple start-up with one-point calibration.
