Solutions in the dairy industry
We provide specialised solutions in the dairy industry!
We offer reliable and efficient solutions for dairy process industries, from specialised support in a specific process area to the design of a new process line from scratch. Most importantly, the solutions we offer are not simply the installation of a piece of equipment. Our engineering team will first visit your site, take into consideration all special requirements of the project and process, and specialise the proposal according to your specific product needs or business expectations.
Dairy solutions revealed
We have successfully installed many AMKCO vibrating separators for recovery of cheese fines remaining in the whey after cheese production. This separator typically recovers 1 to 3 kg of cheese from every 1,000 kg of whey. Apart from this obvious gain that gives you a very fast return on investment, the other benefits of successfully filtering your whey with an Amkco vibra-screen separator are the following:
Direct benefits:
- 1 to 3 kg of cheese recovered from every 1,000 kg of whey
- Much smaller operation cost for the fat separators
- Better whey quality
- Easier whey membrane plant operation
- Better efficiency of plant hygiene
Amkco whey separator
The Amkco vibrating separator is a versatile tool used across many dairy applications beyond whey filtration:
Whey cheese production
Efficient production of whey cheeses that need quick draining like ricotta. The Amkco separator enables the dairy to produce quickly, safely and efficiently with less personnel at 90°C.
Milk clarification
An Amkco separator has been used as an efficient and low-cost milk clarifier alternative prior to pasteurization — removing hair, flies and mud from raw goat and sheep milk.
Processed cheese production
During production of processed cheese, the Amkco separator screens melted cheese from impurities commonly contained in the input cheese.
Screening of grated cheese
During production of grated cheese, the product is screened and oversized particles are returned to the grating process to maintain specification.
Filtration of cheese brine
During brine recycling, brine is UV-treated for sterilization. UV efficiency is badly affected by fine particles, which are removed by a fine-mesh Amkco vibra-screen separator.
Safety screening of dry ingredients
When raw dry materials enter the process, they are screened for foreign particles and lumps — with optional magnet combination — using an Amkco vibra-screen separator.
VAK KIMSA focuses its activity on manufacturing agitators, in-line mixers and complete mixing facilities. We provide mixers and agitators that are most efficient for handling all solids that need to be dissolved or dispersed in a liquid medium.
Key facts:
- Custom-made solutions designed for each production requirement
- Designed for very long continuous operation time
- Product testing possible before final installation
