How to Produce Milk
By: Eka Darmadi
NRP: 3094802
KP: Y
Step 1:
Dairy cows are milked twice a day using mechanical vacuum milking machines. The raw
milk flows through stainless steel or glass pipes to a refrigerated bulk milk tank.
a few hours of being collected. In the United States, there are several hundred thousand dairy
farms and several thousand milk processing plants. Some plants produce only fluid milk, while
others also produce butter, cheese, and other milk products.
Collecting
 1 Dairy cows are milked twice a day using mechanical vacuum milking machines. The
raw milk flows through stainless steel or glass pipes to a refrigerated bulk milk tank
where it is cooled to about 40° F (4.4° C).
 2 A refrigerated bulk tank truck makes collections from dairy farms in the area within a
few hours. Before pumping the milk from each farm's tank, the driver collects a sample
and checks the flavor and temperature and records the volume.
 3 At the milk processing plant, the milk in the truck is weighed and is pumped into
refrigerated tanks in the plant through flexible stainless steel or plastic hoses.
Separating
 4 The cold raw milk passes through either a clarifier or a separator, which spins the milk
through a series of conical disks inside an enclosure. A clarifier removes debris, some
bacteria, and any sediment that may be present in the raw milk. A separator performs the
same task, but also separates the heavier milk fat from the lighter milk to produce both
cream and skim milk. Some processing plants use a standardizer-clarifier, which
regulates the amount of milk fat content in the milk by removing only the excess fat. The
excess milk fat is drawn off and processed into cream or butter.
Fortifying
 5 Vitamins A and D may be added to the milk at this time by a peristaltic pump,
A clarifier removes debris, some bacteria, and any sediment that may be present in the
raw milk. The milk is then fortified and pasteurized. which automatically dispenses the
correct amount of vitamin concentrate into the flow of milk.
Pasteurizing
 6 The milk—either whole milk, skim milk, or standardized milk—is piped into a
pasteurizer to kill any bacteria. There are several methods used to pasteurize milk. The
most common is called the high-temperature, short-time (HTST) process in which the
milk is heated as it flows through the pasteurizer continuously. Whole milk, skim milk,
and standardized milk must be heated to 161° F (72° C) for 15 seconds. Other milk
products have different time and temperature requirements. The hot milk passes through
a long pipe whose length and diameter are sized so that it takes the liquid exactly 15
seconds to pass from one end to the other. A temperature sensor at the end of the pipe
diverts the milk back to the inlet for reprocessing if the temperature has fallen below the
required standard.
Homogen izing
 7 Most milk is homogenized to reduce the size of the remaining milk fat particles. This
prevents the milk fat from separating and floating to the surface as cream. It also ensures
that the milk fat will be evenly distributed through the milk. The hot milk from the
pasteurizer is pressurized to 2,500-3,000 psi (17,200-20,700 kPa) by a multiple-cylinder
piston pump and is forced through very small passages in an adjustable valve. The
shearing effect of being forced through the tiny openings breaks down the fat particles
into the proper size.
 8 The milk is then quickly cooled to 40° F (4.4° C) to avoid harming its taste.
Packaging
 9 The milk is pumped into coated paper cartons or plastic bottles and is sealed. In the
United States most milk destined for retail sale in grocery stores is packaged in one-
gallon (3.8-liter) plastic bottles. The bottles or cartons are stamped with a "sell by" date
to ensure that the retailers do not allow the milk to stay on their shelves longer than it can
be safely stored.
 10 The milk cartons or bottles are placed in protective shipping containers and kept
refrigerated. They are shipped to distribution warehouses in refrigerated trailers and then
on to the individual markets, where they are kept in refrigerated display cases.
Cleaning
 11 To ensure sanitary conditions, the inner surfaces of the process equipment and piping
system are cleaned once a day. Almost all the equipment and piping used in the
processing plant and on the farm are made from stainless steel. Highly automated clean-
in-place systems are incorporated into this equipment that allows solvents to be run
through the system and then flushed clean. This is done at a time between the normal
influx of milk from the farms.
