Whether it is for powdered milk production (baby formula) or production of yoghurt or other desserts, NEU incorporates all equipment necessary for recipe production into the production line design
Particularly tight and sealed NEU Process’s installations are designed to avoid all cross contamination and product degradation.
All parts of the installed equipment are in stainless steel with a majority of smooth surfaces to eliminate product retention and to facilitate cleaning in place.
NEUPULSE technology is the technology preferred in this industry: it brings together all the imperatives requested in the milk industry.
Milk powder arrives from the drying tower or through big bags. Minor and major ingredients like lactose, vitamins, probiotics and minerals arrive through sacks. These raw materials are then pneumatically conveyed to intermediate storage and transferred afterwards to the dosing and micro-dosing stations to feed by gravity a quick paddle mixer.
This mixer is a completely open type for access in case of inspection and for easy cleaning. The mixed ingredients are pneumatically conveyed in a low-velocity dense phase, suction system. This system configuration preserves all the properties of the mixed product and as such its quality.
The milk product processing industry is particularly demanding in terms of hygiene and food safety:
• Prevent cross-contamination and damage to products,
• Facilitate in-situ cleaning,
• Compliance with ATEX standards and FDA legislation
• Ensure the traceability and genealogy of production batches.
Our engineers are fully familiar with the production processes associated with the powdered milk industry and develop innovative solutions and industrial equipment in accordance with the requirements of this food industry sector:
• The in-feed stations for materials in sacks or big bags (sack and big bag emptying stations)
• Screening,
• Pneumatic transport under vacuum, low-speed dense phase with humidity-treated and temperature-controlled air, to guarantee product integrity,
• Storage in hoppers or silos,
• Continuous or batch metering (metering screw, spring scale, rotary dispenser), mixing with the addition of additives and micro-ingredients
• Pneumatic system towards packaging.
• Monitoring and automation developed internally (NEUBATCH)
