In module 6, we will be looking at the equipment used in dairy processing.
All dairy products start out as liquid milk so regardless the end product the liquid handling equipment consist of pumps, pipes-hoses, valves, fittings, and tanks.
Milk is fragile and perishable so it is important that the equipment chosen is of proper type and designed so it doesn’t damage the milk or milk product.
It is important this equipment is easy to clean and maintain so you’ll be introduced to 3-A Sanitary Standards and Practices upon which our industry relies to ensure our equipment helps us and does not contribute to problems of quality or safety.
After successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
Referred modules: N/A
