Dairying has been an agricultural practice since people first started domesticating animals. Milk and dairy products are a vital part of the diet for many people. The progress in dairy science and technology has increased the level of hygiene required during the manufacture of dairy products in order to preserve their nutrients. The modern dairy industry requires the use of cleanable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel equipment to meet the needs of milk product consumers everywhere. The growth in the use of stainless steel has been the highest of any other material used in the world.
Now a days Stainless Steel is used as the material of construction for Dairy and Food processing equipments the world over to achieve the most exact requirements for easy maintenance, sanitation, product preservation, corrosion resistance and to avoid health hazardous effects of aluminum and plastic. Stainless Steel products are well accepted and appreciated in India as well as other developing and developed countries around the world.
Why there should be use of stainless steel in the dairy industry?
Milk is an emulsion containing about 87% water. The remaining 13% is made up of fatty acids, inorganic compounds, vitamins, and enzymes which do not dissolve in milk. Fresh milk is an ideal culture medium for microbial flora that can spoil the end product. On its journey from the farm to the consumer, milk comes into contact with the walls of the equipment in which it is being processed or transported. The final product must reach the consumer meticulously clean and free from all germs. It is for this reason that the dairy industry has employed stainless steel for more than sixty years. The compact and smooth surface of stainless steel prevents bacterial contamination and facilitates cleaning and disinfection.
Why the use of only stainless steel?
The main reason is the ability to be cleaned easily so that the hygiene and appearance of the product is guaranteed. the durability of the product including resistance to corrosion and aging is also plus point in using stainless steel. The other factors which contribute towards making stainless steel the preferred material is its mechanical characteristics, expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity and ease of use. In addition to its long life, stainless steel ensures the safety of milk products. Stainless steels exceptional resistance to corrosion has enabled the dairy industry to develop widely and rapidly. Stainless steel behaves quite neutrally and does not alter the taste of fresh milk.
Stainless steel is generally preferred over other metals. In part this is due to its properties which include ease of cleaning and its resistance to corrosion, chemical products and scratches. However, a major reason for using stainless is its surface which gives a clean and shiny look and does not require paint protection. Therefore there is no risk of contamination and maintenance is reduced. Due to its corrosion-resistance, stainless steel is stronger and has a longer life span which is vital for dairy industry business. The dairy sector is a big consumer of water, energy and chemicals. Stainless Steel contributes positively to reduction of waste volumes.
The most important assets of the stainless steel in the dairy industry are
* The durability of material
* Longevity of milking, cooling and feeding equipment in a corrosive environment
* Limited maintenance requirements for stainless products
* Its perception as a premium product.
Today the dairy industry utilises a large amount of stainless steel in all its forms, throughout the milk and dairy-product production chain. Stainless steels have a smooth, neutral surface which does not pick up tastes or smells. Stainless steels are extremely strong so they can withstand tough industrial environments. Today dairy equipment is made of stainless steels because it is easy to clean, disinfect and does not react with the lactic acids formed by fermenting milk. Strict standards of hygiene are possible at every stage of its use.
Research studies have established that poor cleaning of milk can is the principal cause for very high bacterial count in raw milk when received at the dairy. Since Stainless Steel surface can be very effectively cleaned, the stainless steel can with it’s super smooth construction has a clear advantage over aluminum alloy and plastic cans. Moreover, this operation can be done using even washing soda, if needed, which otherwise is not possible with aluminum alloy can (esp. when subjected to manual cleaning/ scrubbing). Thus the ease in cleaning makes it more preferred metal in the dairy equipment industry. Better cleaning would mean lower load of micro-organisms on it’s surfaces.
Stainless steel cans does not require any protective coating. There is negligible weight loss. The strong stainless steel body resists all wear and tear – thus giving wide time interval between purchase & replacement. Frankly, it is not at all costly. Very low maintenance and longer operational durability make it comparatively cheaper in long turn. Further more when the stainless steel is finally retired, there is a significant reclaim value.
But now, with burgeoning technological knowledge and price parity Stainless Steel has been brought within the purview of its eager consumers. Stainless steel cans are manufactured with the latest technology and with it’s quality being constantly upgraded, they have proved to be the best available milk can in the world. Both the equipment and facilities used in the dairy industry today are made from austenitic stainless steels. In nearly all equipments needed in the dairy industry stainless steel brings the most effective answer to the multiple requirement for a safe and economical production process.
Stainless Steel products are well accepted and appreciated in India as well as other developing and developed countries around the world.
