Overview
Lactose separation is a crucial process in the dairy industry. It is used to produce lactose-free dairy products or extract lactose for use in various applications. This process involves separating lactose from whey or other dairy by-products, which requires precise temperature control and efficient heat transfer to achieve optimal results.
Direct Steam Injection for dairy processing offers several significant advantages over traditional heating methods in lactose separation, enhancing efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness:
- Instantaneous heating speeds up lactose separation and improves production efficiency, enabling higher throughput with in-line processing
- Accurate and uniform temperature control optimizes lactose separation, prevents protein denaturation, and eliminates burn-on across all dairy processes
- Minimized exposure to high temperatures preserves texture, flavor, and nutrients of dairy by-products while preventing burn-on during production
- Reduced energy consumption through minimized heat loss, delivering cost savings, and supporting sustainability goals
- Space-saving design with low-maintenance requirements enhances production efficiency and reduces downtime
- Adaptable to various dairy by-products, ensuring efficient lactose separation across multiple streams with consistent results
- Advanced features like in-line heating and an air gap in the Hydron improve performance and streamline operations
