• information

A condensed milk processing line is a series of machines and equipment used to produce condensed milk from raw milk. The process typically involves the following steps:

  1. Raw Milk Reception: Raw milk is received and tested for quality and safety.

  2. Preheating: The raw milk is preheated to a specific temperature to remove any impurities or bacteria.

  3. Concentration: The preheated milk is then concentrated by removing a portion of the water content. This is usually done using evaporation or reverse osmosis.

  4. Homogenization: The concentrated milk is homogenized to ensure a uniform texture and prevent separation of cream.

  5. Sugar Addition: Sugar is added to the homogenized milk to give it a sweet taste.

  6. Sterilization: The milk is then sterilized to kill any remaining bacteria or microorganisms. This is usually done using pasteurization or ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment.

  7. Cooling: The sterilized milk is rapidly cooled to a specific temperature to maintain its quality and shelf life.

  8. Packaging: The condensed milk is packaged in cans, bottles, or pouches, ready for distribution and sale.

  9. Labeling and Coding: The packaged condensed milk is labeled with relevant information such as product name, manufacturing date, expiry date, and batch number.

  10. Storage: The packaged condensed milk is stored in a controlled environment until it is shipped to retailers or distributors.

Overall, a condensed milk processing line follows strict hygiene and quality control measures to ensure the production of safe and high-quality.


Condensed Milk Processing Line

Light condensed milk

It is a viscous product made from raw milk and / or dairy products with or without food additives and nutritional fortifiers.
Sweetened condensed milk
It is a kind of viscous product with raw milk and / or dairy products and sugar as raw materials, with or without food additives and nutrition fortifiers.
Blended condensed milk
It is a kind of viscous product with raw milk and / or dairy products as the main material, with or without sugar, food additives and nutritional fortifiers, and with auxiliary materials.

Customized solution for condensed milk production line

The Condensed Milk Processing Line is a specialized system designed for the production of various types of condensed milk, including sweetened condensed milk, light condensed milk, and prepared condensed milk. The customization of this processing line can be tailored to meet specific client requirements and production capacities.


1. Raw Material Selection
The processing line begins with the selection of raw materials, which may include fresh milk or milk powder. The choice between these two options depends on the desired end product and the operational capabilities of the facility.
2. Preheating and Sterilization
Once the raw materials are selected, they undergo preheating and sterilization. This step is crucial as it eliminates microorganisms that could spoil the product and helps in achieving the desired viscosity during storage. The typical temperature for heat treatment is between 100-120°C for about 60 seconds.
3. Sugar Addition
For sweetened condensed milk, sugar is added at this stage. There are two methods for adding sugar:
Dry sugar can be added before heat treatment.
Sugar syrup can be introduced during evaporation.
The concentration of sugar must reach at least 62.5% in the aqueous phase to ensure proper preservation through osmotic pressure.
4. Concentration Process
The mixture then moves to an evaporator where approximately 60% of the water content is removed under vacuum conditions at temperatures ranging from 60-70°C. This process thickens the milk into a viscous product suitable for further processing.
5. Cooling and Crystallization
After concentration, the product must be cooled rapidly while being agitated to control crystallization effectively. This step ensures that lactose precipitates as small crystals rather than large ones, which would make the final product gritty and undesirable.
6. Canning or Packaging
Once cooled, the condensed milk is filled into metal cans or other packaging options such as aseptic cartons or tubes. The packaging process must adhere to strict hygiene standards to maintain product quality over its shelf life, which can reach up to 18-24 months under ambient conditions.
7. Quality Control Systems
Throughout each stage of production, quality control measures are implemented to monitor parameters such as density, viscosity, and microbial load to ensure that all products meet food-grade standards.
8. Customization Options
The entire processing line can be customized based on:
Desired production capacity (ranging from 2 tons/day to 100 tons/day).
Specific formulations (e.g., varying sugar levels or additional nutritional fortifiers).

Equipment specifications (e.g., type of evaporator or filling machine).


This flexibility allows manufacturers to produce multiple types of condensed milk products using a single processing line efficiently.
