At the Heart

摘要

Next to the process system, the filler is the heart of any milk line in a dairy plant. Whether it's a simple 6-head rotary filler, or a high-speed multilane linear machine with a hepa-filtration chamber, the filler is the center of line activity. Today's processors are doing more with their fluid milk, and therefore they need fillers that can do more, and suppliers have responded. Packaging materials and package sizes have changed, and many manufacturers are now offering different lines of equipment for use with more than one kind of packaging. Machines are faster and achieve higher levels of hygiene for longer shelf life and ambient storage. Dairy processors looking to expand and upgrade their operations now have to think about what kind of business they want to run, and make their filler decisions accordingly.
