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. |
|
Straight through processing | TEC Square provides an integrated process solution, from raw milk storage directly to pre-concentrate storage. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
Heat Treatment specific for each product | Heat treatment is done with plate heat exchangers, which are flexible by nature. |
|
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. |
