A pasteurized milk processing line is a series of equipment and machinery used to process raw milk into pasteurized milk. The line typically includes the following steps:
Milk Reception: Raw milk is received and tested for quality and safety.
Filtration: The milk is filtered to remove any impurities or debris.
Homogenization: The milk is homogenized to break down the fat particles and ensure a consistent texture.
Standardization: The milk is standardized to achieve a specific fat content, typically by adding or removing cream.
Pasteurization: The milk is heated to a specific temperature and held for a specific time to kill harmful bacteria and extend the shelf life.
Cooling: The pasteurized milk is rapidly cooled to prevent bacterial growth.
Packaging: The milk is packaged into bottles, cartons, or other containers suitable for retail sale.
Labeling: The packages are labeled with information such as the product name, expiration date, and nutritional content.
Storage and Distribution: The packaged milk is stored in a refrigerated area before being distributed to retailers or consumers.
Quality Control: Throughout the processing line, various tests are conducted to ensure the milk meets quality and safety standards.
Cleaning and Sanitization: The processing line and equipment are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between production runs to prevent cross-contamination.
Each step in the processing line is carefully controlled to ensure the milk is safe to consume and has a consistent taste and quality. Modern processing lines may include automation and advanced technology to increase efficiency and reduce human error.

Pasteurized milk uses fresh milk as raw material and pasteurized by pasteurization, that is, heating at 72-75 ° C for 10-15 seconds. Pasteurized milk can kill harmful bacteria in milk and preserve nutrients and pure taste. After centrifugation, standardization, homogenization, sterilization and cooling, it is poured into liquid state and directly supplied to consumers for drinking.
Three kinds of packaging of pasteurized milk:Roof bags, also known as fresh houses, pasteurized plastic bags and glass bottles.
Production range: 2td-500td
