Good cleaning systems are key in the liquid dairy production

One of the most important requirements of the production equipment for liquid dairy products is that it must be easy to clean to be able to maintain good hygiene. The cleanability requirement puts ever greater demands on the manufacturers of smart production equipment for the dairy industry. Also, the production line must achieve a reliable and flexible production flow. The importance of gentle product handling The dairy industry consists of many different products. Milk is one of them and belongs to the subcategory of liquid dairy products. To achieve a successful production in the liquid dairy industry it is important to have equipment with the right qualities, such as cleanability, modularity, reliability, and robustness. For example, products must transfer easily from one conveyor to the next. Since the products in the liquid dairy production can be fragile, it is also important that the equipment is gentle towards the products in order to avoid product damage. Avoid spillage by using stable and robust production equipment One of the most important aspects to consider in the liquid dairy industry is to maintain good hygiene in production. Usually, milk is transported in bottles or cartons which are normally sealed, so the risk of any contamination getting into the product is quite small. However, spillage in production can cause contamination and bacterial growth on both the product packaging and on the production line. Contamination can then be transferred from the products straight to the supermarket shelves and can possibly contaminate the outer packaging of other products. Spillage can be prevented by using stable and robust production equipment that controls the bottles and cartons in a good way. It is also recommended to use production equipment that does not build up long conveyor lengths full of bottles or cartons. By queuing many products, they can get exposed to a lot of pressure that eventually can damage the products.
