7-in-1 Processing

TEC Square applies its “straight-through” principle to its design of standardization plants, our “7-in-1 Processing” technology. We prefer to store a product only if it is absolutely necessary. For this purpose, we provide an energy efficient solution from raw milk storage straight to and including pre-evaporation. Our design does the following operations in one step:

  • Fat standardization +/- <0.03%
  • Protein standardization +/- <0.03%
  • Milk clarification
  • WPNI heat treatment (low, medium, high heat)
  • Integrated legal pasteurisation. Please refer to our detail Pasteurisation page for additional information.
  • Pre-concentration of product (up to 35% TS)
  • Cooling of pre-concentrate, condensate & raw cream

High savings on Capital Expenditure and Operational Costs

This system will generate operational savings of about 5 to 10% on energy alone, compared to traditional systems. The exact savings depend on the application and product requirements.

Characteristics and advantages of 7-in-1 Processing

Characteristics
Advantages

Buildings


Our solution requires less processing equipment, which in turn requires less building volume.


  • Less capital investment due to lower building volumes.

Straight through processing


TEC Square provides an integrated process solution, from raw milk storage directly to pre-concentrate storage.


  • Savings in investment: Half the volume of pasteurized product storage is required.

In-line pre-evaporation


We provide in-line pre-evaporation with maximum balanced heat recuperation. We store pre-evaporate at temperatures < 8°C, using incoming raw milk at 5°C as a cooling medium.

Further raw cream and “cow” water are cooled down to 10 and 12°C respectively, allowing a prolonged storage time before usage or treatment.


  • No chilled water required if raw Milk is stored at < 5°C.
  • Pre-concentrate is stored at maximum 8°C, allowing immediate dispatching.

Heat treatment


TEC Square does not use steam injection and flash cooling to have quick heat treatment.

We prefer heat treatment through plate heat exchanger technology.


  • Easier cleaning.
  • No culinary steam required (no boiler water make-up either).
  • Less evaporation required (approx.8% savings)
  • Low energy consumption.

Heat Treatment specific for each product


Heat treatment is done with plate heat exchangers, which are flexible by nature.


  • We provide temperature holding solutions for each specific product.
  • Additional products require very little additional equipment. Only equipment for a specific product is in operation.

CIP Planned every 10-12 hours


We do not believe in long running times. As such, we do not use steam injection as heat treatment. We prefer smooth and efficient running conditions with intermediate cleaning afterwards.


  • We can guarantee low-thermophile operation.
  • 60 Hours accumulation of pre-concentrate is possible, allowing for more continuous running of the spray dryer. For example, no weekend drying is required in the low season.
