Manufacturing High-Quality Dairy Products in Europe
At Kuber Group Technology, we specialize in manufacturing instant fat-filled milk powders, SMP blends, and demineralised whey using advanced technologies and strict quality procedures in Europe.
Raw Material Storage
All raw materials for our instant fat filled milk powders, SMP blends, and demineralised whey are stored under modern refrigeration conditions. This ensures preservation of valuable nutrients and maintains high hygienic standards.
Microfiltration (MF)
Microfiltration using ceramic membranes is a crucial step in our powder production process. This innovative technology ensures superior purification, fat removal, and reduction of micro-organisms compared to traditional methods.
Concentration
The final processes of whey powder production before drying is to thicken the concentrate downstream of NF using evaporator systems and crystallization. The concentration process allows water evaporation under reduced pressure to 58%–60% dry matter. Crystallising the concentrate downstream ensures non-hygroscopic whey and smooth drying.
Nanofiltration (NF)
Nanofiltration (NF) is employed before evaporation in our process. It concentrates raw materials and partially demineralises whey, enhancing purity and nutritional value of the final products.
Pasteurisation
Pasteurisation is a crucial step where raw materials are heated to specific temperatures to reduce microorganism levels, ensuring product safety and extending shelf life. This process effectively eliminates harmful bacteria and pathogens while preserving the nutritional integrity of the raw materials.
Protein content
One of the basic indicators of powder quality is its appropriate content of Whey protein in accordance with the requirements of standards as well as the requests of customers The only technology to standardise the protein content and thus maintain the same quality of powder obtained without additives is the ultrafiltration (UF) process that is implemented at our plants. Ultrafiltration removes a certain amount of the protein-free fraction (permeate) from the whey, and as such the protein content in the powder is controlled
Spray Drying
The final stage of the whey powder production process is drying. For this purpose, the so-called spray driers are used where, using hot air, the whey is finally concentrated from an initial water content of 40% to 42% to a level of 3.0% to 4.0%. Such a low water content is a factor that makes it possible to store the finished product for up to several years without any organoleptic or physical-chemical changes, and health safety is maintained
Treatment and management
Permeate and condensate treatment is carried out with the use of membrane technologies based on the reverse osmosis process, the so-called RO-polisher The applied technology is used to treat permeates downstream of after NF and condensate downstream of the evaporator to the obtain water quality providing completely microbiological safety and very good chemical quality. The technology implemented at our plants also allows significant reduction in the amount of wastewater discharged, and thus a reduction in production costs and the negative environmental impact.
