Agitated thin film evaporator (also commonly referred to as a "Thin Film or wiped film evaporator") consists of two main parts: a cylindrical jacketed body which is heated by means of steam or thermic fluid and a rotor inside the cylindrical tube. Product is introduced above the heated zone on a distributor plate. This distributor plate evenly transfers the liquid over the evaporator's inner surface. As the product spirals down the wall, the high rotor tip speed generates centrifugal force and due to low clearance between rotor blades and cylinder inner surface, it creates thin film. This thin film and heated surface create optimum heat flux and mass transfer conditions. Volatile components are rapidly evaporated via conductive heat transfer. Vapours flow either counter-currently or co-currently through the unit, depending on the application requirements. The vapours are passed through condenser and collected. Residual components are discharged at the outlet. Continuous agitation and mixing by the rotor blades minimizes fouling of the thermal wall where the product or residue is most concentrated. Advantages are less residence time, can handle heat sensitive materials and lesser space requirement.

Spray drying is a method of producing a dry powder from a liquid or slurry by rapidly drying with a hot air. The pump-able feed is pumped to a nozzle or atomizer. The atomizer or nozzle atomizes the pumped feed. At the same time hot air is passed through air distributor into drying chamber. This hot air comes in contact with the atomized feed particles and removes moisture. The dry powder drops down at chamber cone at bottom and collected. Air leaves the drying chamber and is passed through cyclone and or bag filter / wet scrubber. Alternatively powder can be collected at the outlet of cyclone separator. Spray Dryers can be of co-current or counter current type. Also the design of chamber varies according to product and operating temperature. Spray Dryers are used in foods, chemicals, ceramic and pharmaceutical sectors. If product is oxygen sensitive or flammable then nitrogen gas is used.  

Spin Flash Flash Dryers are used for drying cakes, pastes and heat sensitive materials. The wet feed is fed by screw conveyor into spin duct. The feed cake falls onto the spinning blades and gets disintegrated. Hot air carries the disintegrated particles upwards into the spin duct. In this process the moisture is removed and dry powder is collected at the bottom of the cyclone separator.

Rotary vacuum dryers offer clean, simple and effective method of drying wet cake, powder and even slurry. Labor and energy costs are minimal compared to tray dryers and product losses during handling are also negligible. Additionally valuable organic solvents can be conveniently condensed and recovered. The drying in a rotary vacuum dryer is a batch operation under vacuum. It is possible to dry heat sensitive materials at well below boiling points of water and solvents. Drying time depends on material being dried, amount of solvent or water to be removed, desired final moisture content, permissible jacket temperature etc. The dryer is available in sizes ranging from 100 liters to 20,000 liters gross volume. The volume of wet material loaded into the dryer is usually restricted to 40-45% of gross volume.

A multiple-effect evaporator is an apparatus for efficiently using the heat from steam to evaporate water. In a multiple-effect evaporator, water is boiled in a sequence of vessels, each held at a lower pressure than the last. Because the boiling temperature of water decreases as pressure decreases, the vapour boiled off in one vessel can be used to heat the next, and only the first vessel (at the highest pressure) requires an external source of heat. While in theory, evaporators may be built with an arbitrarily large number of stages, evaporators with more than four stages are rarely practical except in systems where the liquor is the desired product such as in chemical recovery systems where up to seven effects are used. An evaporator is essentially a heat exchanger in which a liquid is boiled to give a vapour, so that it is also, simultaneously, a low pressure steam generator. It may be possible to make use of this, to treat an evaporator as a low pressure boiler, and to make use of the steam thus produced for further heating in another following evaporator called another effect.

Essentially the function of a cyclone separator is to remove the majority of the dust and debris from the air stream that carries it. It does this by introducing the dust filled air to the cyclone chamber via an inlet mounted tangentially to the cylinder at the top. This causes the air and dust to circulate around the outside of the container, and as such centrifugal forces keeps the particulate matter to the outside edges. The cyclone profile forces the air stream and dust particles down into the conical shaped container where the cone shape creates a cyclone with higher centrifugal air speed. This higher air speeds in the cone will throw the dust particles, both large and small, off to the side and the clean air is vented out.

Milkons Fully Automactic Clean in Place Systems Are Designed And Intended to Carry out automatic cleaning and disinfecting of a processing system without disassembly keeping in mind the need for effective of effcient cleaning systems for diary pharmaceutical, chemical, evaporators, liquid processing, tanks, plate heat exchanger, packing machines, eggs processing industries, brewery, biological and many more industries. The Cleaning meets the requirements of number of objects time, concentration temp, Flow the capacity are 25,000ltr/hr and 50,000ltr/hr is suitable for cleaning. the CIP systems are benefical for food safety, time reduction and economical sustain-ability. In addition to this, the systems can be used for juice plants, cheese processing lines and prepared food products. Milkon has created a range of CIP systems, that provides on aseptic & hygenic environment for the processing of products.

To make cheese pasturized milk is brought in the cheese vat to a temperature required to promote the growth of the bacteria that feed on lactose and thus ferment the lactose into lactic acid. These bacteria in the milk are added from a culture. Fermentation using homofermentative bacteria is important in the production of cheeses such as Cheddar, where a clean, acid flavour is required. For cheeses such as Emmental the use of heterofermentative bacteria is necessary to produce the compounds that give characteristic fruity flavours and, importantly, the gas that results in the formation of bubbles in the cheese ('eye holes'). starter cultures are chosen to give a cheese its specific characteristics. Coagulation:- When during the fermentation sufficient lactic acid has been developed, rennet is added to cause the casein to precipitate. Rennet contains the enzyme which converts κ-casein to para-κ-caseinate cheese curd salt and glycomacropeptide, which is lost in the cheese whey. As the curd is formed, milk fat is trapped in a casein matrix. After adding the rennet, the cheese milk is left to form curds over a period of time.Draining:-Once the cheese curd is judged to be ready, the cheese whey must be released. As with many foods the presence of water and the bacteria in it encourages decomposition. Therefore, remove most of the water (whey) from the cheese milk, and hence cheese curd, to make a partial dehydration of the curd. This ensures a product of good quality.
