Coconut Milk Powder Plant
Various products can be obtained from the
coconut like Desiccated coconut, Coconut
cream, Coconut Milk etc. Coconut milk has a
wide range of applications in food industry
and food preparation. Coconut milk is spray
dried in order to have a long shelf life; less
storage place is required, lower cost of bulk
packing.
Process Description:
Feed Preparation:
White meat of the coconut is extruded and
further use as raw feed to Feed Preparation
section. This is a simple process which
involves mixing of various ingredients in a
proper proportion by auto weighing system.
The large tanks with agitator arrangement
are provided to mix the ingredients. The
tanks are also provided with the heating
arrangement so as to maintain proper
temperature. The feed is homogenized in a
specially designed homogenizer.
Spray Drying:
The feed is then dried to powder form in a
spray dryer. The feed is atomized to fine
droplets in a large spray chamber by using
either disc atomizer or series of high
pressure nozzles. These atomized particles
come in contact with hot air and water in it
gets evaporated. The feed droplet
temperature never reaches the temperature
of hot air as it is cooled by evaporative
cooling. The dried product is discharged at
the bottom of chamber. The dried product
entrained with the exhaust air is separated in
a high efficiency cyclone separator. The
exhaust air is further passed through a wet
ventury scrubber for recovering the fines not
separated in cyclone. Clean air is then vented to the atmosphere the process air is
handled by means of two centrifugal fans.
The entire operation of the plant is monitored
and controlled through a locally mounted
control panel or through PLC.
Storage, Mixing and Packing:
The dried powder is stored in storage silos
from where they are weighed in auto
weighing system and mixed with other dry
ingredients in right proportions. The mixture
is further weighed and sent in the packing
section where it is packed in the required
quantity.
