Milk Powder Sieving: Ensuring Quality, Consistency & Efficiency

Introduction

Milk powder is a vital ingredient used in infant food, dairy, confectionery, and other food applications worldwide. While it is true that production of premium milk powder is a simple process which includes spray drying the sieving and screening stages play a very important role in terms of purity, flowability and consistent quality.

Even small impurities, large particles, or uneven mesh use will affect product solubility, reduce shelf life and in the end impact customer satisfaction. In an effort to ensure the quality standards in the global market, the milk powder manufacturing companies need to employ precise and hygienic sieving measures that would ensure that the particle size is uniform and that the process is not contaminated at any stage.

Let us look at the issues which we face in milk powder sieving and how Galaxy Sivtek’s advanced solution addresses them.

Key Challenges in Milk Powder Sieving

1. Lump Formation & Moisture Effects

Spray dryers usually result in the remaining moisture that forms lumps. These lumps reduce solubility and cause uneven flow during packaging and downstream processing.

2. Particle Size Variation

Different dairy applications — from instant milk powder to infant formula — require precise particle size control. Variability impacts reconstitution quality, bulk density, and blending performance, which directly affects the final product quality.

3. Contamination Risks

Contaminants of external origin, like fibers, plastic pieces, or metal particles, constitute a serious threat to food safety. Even small amounts of contamination could lead to expensive product recalls or reputation damage to a brand.

4. Hygiene & Cleaning Efficiency

Food-grade requirements (FDA & cGMP) require clean, easy to wash equipment which does not allow microbial growth, has no residual operation and can easily be washed between batches.

5. Process Efficiency & Downtime

The tendency to clog the screens frequently, cleaning disruptions, or equipment failures raise the costs of operation. Additionally, most dairy facilities require compact machinery to optimize floor space.

Galaxy Sivtek Solutions

To address these critical challenges, Galaxy Sivtek offers the Sanitary Sivtek Separator, a high-performance vibro sifter designed exclusively for hygienic and precise milk powder sieving.

This machine is specifically designed to provide accurate particle size separation, break lumps, and avoid contamination — all this keeping the highest level of hygiene and stable throughput.

Key Features & Advantages:

• Hygienic Design: Built with quality SUS 304/316L stainless steel, with mirror-polished surfaces and a solid body design free of crevices to safely eliminate contamination.
• Easy to Clean: Quick-release clamps and smooth interiors simplify dismantling, cleaning, and reassembly, minimizing downtime between batches.
• Accurate Sieving: Provides uniformly sized particles through a process of effectively sorting between lumps, agglomerates, and impurities.
• Dust-Free Operation: The product does not leak through the dust-free design being fully enclosed and this safeguards both the workers and the environment.
• High Efficiency: Produces a consistent throughput performance through continuous run time while minimizing additional product loss and sustain optimal performance.

The Sanitary Sivtek Separator is the combination of cleanliness and performance — in this way, every batch of milk powder is being made to meet the highest quality benchmarks.
