Milk Powder Plant Tour
Milk arrives fresh from the farm every day to be processed in our plant.	Each load of fresh milk is tested for quality and content before we process and transport it to huge silos.
The milk is pasteurized and separated into skim milk and cream prior to entering the production process for milk powder.	Fluid milk from the dairy is 88% water and 12% milk solids (butterfat, protein, calcium, etc.) In the first phase, water is evaporated off until the milk solids are 45% of total weight. The resulting condensed milk is transferred to the dryer.
In the dryer, condensed milk is sprayed as a fine mist into a heat chamber kept at 300° F. In seconds, the mist dries into milk powder.	Automatic filling equipment packages the dry powder into 55-pound bags in an airtight area.
The finished powdered milk, in 55-pound bags or 2,000-pound tubs, is ready for shipment to our customers around the world.
