Concentration of milk or whey by membranes.
80% savings in transportation costs.
With the increase in gasoline prices, it is becoming more and more common to extract the water from the milk on the dairy farms themselves, which reduces its volume and, therefore, transportation costs.
This reduces its volume and, therefore, transport costs.
This equipment can concentrate milk to 48% of total solids.
This is a degree of concentration similar to that offered by evaporation, but since reverse osmosis does not require heat, the flavor remains unchanged.
The same is true for the whey that is sent from the cheese factories to the drying towers. This reduces transport costs by 80%.
