Fan brother guide:
How is a can of milk powder born?In the minds of many people, there may be such a scene: early in the morning, a group of people carrying buckets and half-squatting to milk cows and goats, and buckets of milked milk are poured into milk tankers, which are transported to the factory by milk tankers. Then a group of people poured out, transported milk into the workshop, and busily carried out production and processing, and the whole production workshop was overcrowded......Is this how you imagined milk powder to be produced?
In fact, after the accumulation, innovation and enterprising of China's dairy industry, many dairy enterprises have entered the era of modern production with high standards, high efficiency, high transparency and high technology. Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Today, the milk powder think tank will take you into the new factory of Lantian of Meiliyuan, an excellent domestic goat milk company, to have an in-depth traceability journey.
According to the data, the total investment of Meiliyuan Lantian new factory project is 500 million yuan, covering an area of 153 acres and a total construction area of 10080,000 square meters, daily processing of 500 tons of fresh milk, annual processing of 150,000 tons of fresh milk, annual output of up to 220,000 tons. It is a super factory integrating modernization, digitalization and intelligence.
There is a classic example in Dave Brailsford's "Marginal Gain Theory": "If you improve every broken part of a thing by 1%, the whole will be qualitatively improved." "Carefully tasting the new factory of Meiliyuan, every link has condensed the wisdom of "marginal gain theory".
It's so advanced!The production equipment and technology are in line with international first-class standards.
The construction of production base and milk source has always been the most important part of the dairy enterprise chain. Looking back on the development process of China's dairy industry for decades, the rise of national flour is behind the process of milk source upgrading, factory upgrading and industrial chain upgrading. In this process, we found that dairy enterprises with lofty dreams and long-term practices have always been in line with the changes of the times, technological innovation and the needs of enterprise development, and have promoted factory upgrading round after round, so that the factory's "intelligent manufacturing" ability is in line with world-class technology, first-class technology and first-class equipment.
Walking into the new factory of Meiliyuan, you will see the open and bright modern factory, rows of brand-new machinery and equipment, precision pipelines bordering each other, and production tanks side by side, distributed in the intelligent workshop. The "overcrowded" and "busy" you imagine will not appear. On the contrary, it is difficult to find workers in the milk powder production workshop. Because the production of Meiliyuan's new factory in Lantian has fully realized the "unmanned" microcomputer PC automatic control and management, which has reduced human error and pollution to a greater extent.
It not only realizes modernization, intelligence and digitalization in production. Moreover, the new factory of Meiliyuan Lantian, the industrial chain equipment and technological process are all in line with international first-class standards. For example, in response to the problem of "nutrient loss" that consumers are concerned about in the process of milk powder processing, Meiliyuan has carried out heavy "freshness". In the milk source link, the dairy goats raised in the high mountains are carried out by the automatic turntable device of the high-standard milk collection hall built by Meili Yuanjian, and the raw milk is transported to the factory through the 2-hour lock fresh ecosystem, and each milk truck with its own independent number is transported to the factory through the designated route under the strict sealing management system.
In the production process, in order to better retain the nutrients of the material liquid, Meiliyuan invested more than 10 million yuan to introduce the Swiss advanced MVR falling film evaporator, compared with the traditional multi-effect evaporator to heat the liquid to more than 70, the MVR falling film evaporator can achieve low temperature evaporation concentration below 60. In the drying process, the main inlet hot air exchange equipment of the Meiliyuan drying tower selects the American Honeywell hot blast stove, which is highly efficient and energy-saving and ensures the stability of the hot air temperature of the main inlet air of the drying tower, so that the atomized thick milk is at 0It is dried into powder in 4 seconds, and the process is equipped with a six-gun spray with adjustable angle, and a unique Danish processing technology is also introduced, and the two-stage four-cyclone secondary agglomeration process is introduced to ensure that the product has good particle uniformity and solubility.
Taking the crucial water in the production process of milk powder as an example, in order to ensure a safe and high-quality ingredient water environment, Meiliyuan Water Environment adopts the pure water reverse osmosis membrane of the Dow brand of the United States to improve the conventional first-class softened water to the pure water level.
In addition, in order to better ensure a safe and high-quality product storage environment, Meiliyuan has introduced two oil-free inverter compressor units and a nitrogen production line to ensure that the nitrogen purity can actually reach 9999%, far exceeding the national standard.
Although our company is not the largest in terms of scale, we are willing to use our brains, intentions and efforts in quality. When the quality of our products is guaranteed, we will have more confidence to talk to anyone. The person in charge of the new factory of Meiliyuan Lantian said truthfully.
Very detailed!Pharmaceutical-grade factory standards, even "air" is not spared.
Quality control requires not only advanced hardware equipment and facilities, but also a management software system. Taking the cleanliness of the processing environment, which is one of the key points to determine whether milk powder is easily contaminated, as an example, the new factory of Meiliyuan Lantian has reached the standard of pharmaceutical-grade GMP factory through layers of planning and management.
First of all, the workshop of Meiliyuan Lantian new factory is strictly divided into three areas: general cleaning operation area, quasi-cleaning operation area, and cleaning operation area. From the general operation area to the quasi-clean operation area, there is a strict purification process: changing shoes, changing clothes, washing hands, more accurate cleaning work clothes, and hand disinfection. To enter the cleaning area from the quasi-clean operation area, the purification process is more rigorous and complex: set up a secondary changing room. The secondary changing room is equipped with a blocking shoe cabinet, a work clothes storage cabinet and an automatic hand disinfection sprinkler in the cleaning operation area, and personnel must go through steps such as changing shoes, hand disinfection, cleaning work clothes (coveralls), wearing masks, and hand disinfection before entering the clean operation area. In addition, Meiliyuan's new factory in Lantian also set up an air shower system after the second changing room. The air shower system will produce air at a speed of 30 meters and seconds (equivalent to a level 11 gale) to purge and remove possible foreign objects in the front, back, left, right and head of the human body, reducing the risk of human pollution and ensuring the cleanliness of the environment.
Secondly, the details of Meiliyuan's new factory in Lantian are impressive. For example, the production workshop adopts fully automatic paperless management;For example, in different areas, towel color separation management is used to avoid cross-contamination;For example, the stainless steel handwashing station is made, the gaps of the handwashing sink are fully filled, and the handwashing sink is heightened to avoid the liquid from spilling out and polluting the ground when washing handsFor example, the "dual channel" setting for personnel in and out avoids cross-contamination ...... caused by the flow of peopleDon't underestimate these details, each of which means more money to invest. The person in charge of the factory told the milk powder think tank: "Although our operating costs are high, we must eliminate any potential quality hazards. ”
What's more worth mentioning is that Meiliyuan's new factory in Lantian not only "manages people" and "land", but also manages "air". A can of high-quality milk powder to ensure that the production and processing in a high-purity environment, air cleanliness is generally divided into 300,000, 100,000, 10,000 three levels, of which 300,000 is the minimum standard of the international milk powder production enterprises, and Meiliyuan benchmarks the pharmaceutical grade GMP factory standards, each workshop must be dehumidified and purified through the first filter screen, and the bacterial filtration efficiency into the air in the workshop reaches 99997%, to ensure that the air cleanliness reaches 100,000 levels, effectively ensuring the safety of milk powder production.
Super strict. High-standard inspection configuration to escort quality.
A grain of ash of food safety is a mountain when it falls on the enterprise. The safety and quality of infant formula are related to the health of your baby. If advanced production equipment, first-class management system, and pharmaceutical-grade factory cleanliness build a solid "protective wall" for the baby's health, then the testing link is the last line of defense to ensure the quality of milk powder.
The testing chain of products is divided into: raw and auxiliary materials incoming testing, production process testing, finished product quality testing and market tracking testing. The detection indicators are divided into sensory indicators, physical and chemical indicators, vitamins and minerals, microorganisms, pollutants, etc. A can of milk powder involves more than 100 testing indicators, and in order to ensure the qualification of each can of milk powder, Meiliyuan Lantian new factory has set up a special inspection center (total construction area of 3876), equipped with professional testing equipment (more than 150 units), cultivated a professional testing team (more than 30 people), and has the ability to self-test the whole project of infant formula milk powder, whole milk powder, demineralized whey powder, nitrogen and other products.
First of all, before entering the workshop, raw milk needs to go through a rigorous "selection". After all 45 raw goat milk acceptance inspections are qualified, they can enter the production workshop. Secondly, in the production process, Meiliyuan products will also go through 26 index process tests, 34 raw materials, packaging materials testing, to ensure the quality of the production process. Finally, the finished products produced by Meiliyuan must go through 106 testing items before they can leave the factory. Meiliyuan has set up many checkpoints to escort the quality of milk powder.
Big breakout. Realize the independent production of desalted goat whey powder.
Thick accumulation can thin hair, diving can leap, real masters, all know how to "slow" kung fu. Meiliyuan Lantian new factory, there is also a bright spot: desalted goat whey powder production line. For a long time, due to the lack of Chinese people's habit of eating cheese, it has led to the lack of whey liquid, and it is impossible to achieve domestic desalted whey powder. However, demineralized whey powder is a necessity for the production of infant formula milk powder and even prepared milk powder, which means that desalted whey powder is a "neck" and "chip" raw material.
In order to get rid of China's dependence on imported desalted goat whey powder for infant formula goat milk powder, Meiliyuan gnawed hard bones and broke through difficult technology, and the new factory built a deep processing line of goat whey powder separately to break the shackles of desalted goat whey powder production and firmly grasp the development "chip" of infant formula goat milk powder in its own hands. This measure is of great strategic significance for Meiliyuan to realize the independent production of desalted goat whey powder and grasp the lifeline of its own development.
Quality upgrading is a marathon with no end. In every link of the whole industry chain, the "slow work" and "hard work" of dairy enterprises are tested. Founded in 2008, Meiliyuan Dairy has undoubtedly become a practitioner and success in the construction of the whole industry chain, a depth and strength in the goat milk powder industry, and a "first-class enterprise and a century-old brand".
