What is Milk Powder? Milk powder, also known as powdered milk, is dehydrated milk widely used in food production, dairy products, nutritional supplements, and infant formula. This versatile ingredient offers extended shelf-life, convenience, and consistent nutrient profiles. Precise particle size distribution is crucial to ensure smooth texture, improved solubility, and uniform nutritional composition in finished products.
Accurate particle sizing significantly influences the quality and consumer experience of milk-based products. Uniform particle distribution ensures rapid dissolution, consistent flavor, and superior texture in dairy formulations. Overly coarse particles may cause grittiness or settling issues, while excessively fine powders can cause clumping or flow challenges. Traditional sieving machine technologies frequently encounter screen mesh blinding, static electricity, and powder caking issues, causing inconsistent results and production inefficiencies.
Elcan Industries specializes in the gentle yet effective screening of sensitive food-grade powders like milk powder. Our Hi-Sifter high-energy sieving machines efficiently screens milk powders down to 25 microns, using controlled vertical energy to prevent mesh blinding and gently break apart agglomerates without compromising the delicate nature of dairy proteins. For specialty applications or ultra-fine requirements, our Allgaier tumbler screener equipment with an innovative air-knife system delivers precise separations down to 44 microns. Additionally, our Class II Div II rated Electromagnetic Separator equipment effectively removes ferrous contaminants, guaranteeing purity and food-grade compliance. At Elcan’s dedicated toll-processing facility, manufacturers can optimize their screening processes, ensuring consistently high-quality milk powder suitable for even the most sensitive applications
