Dairy

Heat exchangers play a crucial role in the dairy industry for processes such as pasteurization, sterilisation, and the heating and cooling of dairy products. Fouling can occur on the surfaces of heat exchangers due to the deposition of proteins, minerals, fats, and other components present in the dairy products. This fouling reduces heat transfer efficiency, increases energy consumption, which requires regular cleaning and maintenance to maintain optimal performance. With patented anti fouling technology from Agitate they can help to non-stop clean dairy heat exchangers.

Various equipment is used in dairy processing, including tanks, pipelines, pumps, and valves, and these can experience fouling. Deposits of proteins, milk solids, minerals, fats, and microorganisms can accumulate on the equipment surfaces, leading to reduced efficiency, increased risk of contamination, and the need for additional cleaning and maintenance.

Evaporators and dryers are commonly employed in the dairy industry to concentrate and dry dairy products such as milk. Fouling and scaling can easily occur on the surfaces of these equipment due to the concentration and deposition of milk solids, proteins, and minerals. This can affect product quality, reduce efficiency, and require cleaning and maintenance to prevent build up. By using Agitate's clean in place tool this prevent scaling build up and fouling from occurring.

Spray dryers are typically used to convert liquid dairy products into powder form. Fouling and scaling can quickly occur on the nozzles, atomizers, and drying chamber surfaces' due to the deposition of dried milk proteins, sugars, and fats. By installing Agitate's anti fouling and anti scaling technology this will reduce the need for maintenance downtime and cleaning.

Fouling can occur in homogenizers and pumps used in the dairy industry. Deposits of milk solids, proteins, and fats can accumulate on the internal surfaces of the equipment, leading to reduced performance, increased maintenance requirements, and potential product quality issues. With Agitate's anti fouling technology dairy homogenisers and pumps can remain cleaner for longer.
