Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for drying of a protein-containing liquid, such as milk and milk-derived liquids for the manufacture of a powdery product.
- the present invention relates to a system for drying a protein- containing liquid, such as milk and milk derived liquids, which due to heat sensitivity or formation of sticky or hygroscopic substances may be difficult to convert into a powder of high quality, such as a free-flowing, non-caking powdery product.
- a protein- containing liquid such as milk and milk derived liquids
- the present invention relates to a system for drying of milk and milk derived liquids in a process which is more energy efficient than the prior processes implemented by industry and at the same time provides an apparatus requiring lesser building volume than the previous apparatuses.
- Milk powders are defined as follows:
- Dehydrated products based on non-fat milk solids and milk fat that is natural milk in which the fat content may be standardised by centrifugation or addition of cream to achieve the fat content required in the final product, between 0.5 and 30 %, expressed on total solids.
- protein content of the milk may be standardised by means of addition of lactose or permeate in case the protein content in the milk supply is too high.
- These products are termed skim milk and whole milk powders, defined as milk powder with max 1 % fat and 26 % fat respectively.
- Fat filled milk powders are based on skim milk and vegetable or animal fat with a fat content of 10-80%.
- milk powders may contain functional additives, such as emulsifiers sta- bilisers and flavouring and colouring agents. Milk powders are used for various purposes such as ingredients in human and animal consumption.
- This liquid product with approx. 50 % total solids may then be spray and/or fluid bed dried and cooled in a fluid bed.
- the energy efficient multiple effect evaporation process can only be used to concentrate the whey to approx. 50% TS while the rest of the water removal requires a less energy-efficient air dryer.
- the limit of approx. 50% TS in prior art evaporators is set by the viscosity of the milk concentrate. Attempts to produce concentrates with higher total solids lead to un-pumpable products and formation of deposits which may promote growth of bacteria.
- the present invention relates to a method and a system for producing a powdery product from a protein-containing liquid having a dry solid content comprising the steps of
- powdery product a product normally considered as powder, i.e. having a particle size corresponding to powder, such as preferably above 0.1 ⁇ m and preferably below 2 mm, the particle size being measured as the approximate diameter of the particle.
- the invention relates to a system for drying protein-containing liquids in a process which is more energy efficient than prior processes in that:
- Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an evaporation unit of a system according to the invention for carrying out the method.
- Figure 2 shows the unit of Figure 1 connected to a drying unit according to the invention.
- Another object is to dry the concentrate to a powdery product in an energy-efficient manner.
- the drying step is preferably carried out in a spin flash dryer, such as the Spin FlashTM dryer from APV Anhydro.
- Spin flash drying is also described in for example EP 0 141 403 and EP 0 862 718, both to APV Anhydro.
- the particle size of the powdery product may be controlled.
- the drying temperatures used may be so low, that the powdery product does not need any cooling after drying.
- the drying step my be carried out in other suitable drying means, such as a fluid bed or an attrition dryer. In particular when drying a concentrate having a high fat content a fluid bed may be preferred.
- the highly concentrated protein-containing concentrate is obtained by providing a first stream of the protein-containing liquid to be concentrated and mixing said first feeding stream with a second feeding stream having a higher content of dry solids than said first feeding stream, obtaining a main stream.
- the mixing of the two streams is preferably carried out by leading one stream into the other, such as leading the first feeding stream into the second feeding stream.
- the mixing may also be provided for by leading each feeding stream to a heater separately allowing the mixing to take place in the heater. This of course de- pends on specific heater.
- a major part of the main stream is constituted by the supply from the second feeding stream, so that the ratio of the first feeding stream rate to the second feeding stream rate as measured in kg/hour is below 1 , such as at most 1 :20, more preferably at most 1:40, most preferably 1 :100. It is believed that smaller ratios lead to more gentle concentration processes.
- the content of dry solids in the second feeding stream is higher than the content of dry solids in the first feeding stream, so that the dry solid content is preferably at least 2 % higher in the second feeding stream, more preferably at least 5 % higher, such as at least 10 % higher, more preferably at least 15 % higher.
- composition of dry solid ingredients of the first feeding stream and the second feeding stream are preferably substantially identical, although the invention may be carried out by using a second feeding stream having a composition of dry solid content different from said first feeding stream.
- At least a part of the main stream protein-containing concentrate is recycled to the second feeding stream, more preferably the main stream concentrate is divided into a recycling stream and a drying stream whereby the recycling stream is used as the second feeding stream.

- the predetermined partial flow preferably corresponds to a recycling stream comprising at least 80 % of the dry solids of the main stream protein-containing concentrate, more preferably comprising at least 85 % of the dry solids.
- the main stream obtained by mixing the first feeding stream and second feeding stream is heated in a suitable heater.
- the heater used may be any suitable heater providing a homogenous heating throughout the liquid.
- An example of a suitable heater is a heat exchanger, such as a plate heat exchanger.
- Another heating means is an electro-heating means providing volumetric heating by means of direct electrical resistance heating.
- the protein-containing liquid is heated up to a temperature below the coagulation temperature of the proteins of the liquid, the coagulation temperature being defined as the temperature, which - under the conditions present and the particular protein- containing liquid - will cause undesired, irreversible changes in the molecular structure of the proteins.
- the protein-containing liquid is heated to a temperature from 30°C to 65°C, in some embodiments the temperature is preferably from 35°C to 40°C.
- Boiling is not allowed to take place within the heater itself. Boiling is suppressed either by a liquid static head above the heater or by a restriction in the discharge line in the form of an orifice piece or a control valve.
- the protein-containing liquid After being heated the protein-containing liquid is transferred to the separator vessel by means of for example a connecting line between the heater and the separator vessel, to be flash separated in the separator.
- the principle of flash evaporation according to this invention is well known, see e.g. Perry's Chemical Engineer' Handbook, 6. Ed (1984), p.11-35, 11-40.
- a flow of liquid is heated in a heater and allowed to expand into a vessel where the actual solvent (volatile components) will evaporate with a corresponding drop of temperature in the liquid phase. It is under- stood that the temperature rise in the heater and the temperature drop of the liquid in the flash are substantially equal.
- the volatile components will be any components, normally water in the liquid product capable of evaporation at the temperature and pressure of the separator vessel.
- the volatile components of the liquid products are separated from the liquid product, whereby a liquid concentrate of the liquid product is obtained.
- the formed vapour is removed by means of a condenser or vacuum pump.
- the temperature of the separator vessel is equal to or a few degrees below the temperature of the heated liquid product. Accordingly, the temperature of the liquid product in the separator vessel is preferably in the range of 25-95°C, more preferably in the range of 30-60°C, such as from 30°C to 35°C.
- the pressure in the vessel wherein the flash separation is carried out is preferably regulated to a pressure below the vapour pressure of the heated liquid product.
- the separation is preferably conducted under a pressure in the range of 0.05-0.9 bar. More preferred a high vacuum is applied, such as 0.1-0.3 bar.

- An example hereof are milk and milk derived liquids, such as skimmed milk, whole milk, butter milk, milk protein concentrate, cream, butter, malted milk, Na-caseinate and Ca-caseinate, and delactosed whey.
- Examples of vegetable protein-containing liquids are, vegetable proteins, vegetable protein isolates, soy proteins, and coconut milk.
- Yet other protein-containing liquids are egg, egg white, blood and shortening.
- a pre-concentration step may be conducted.
- a pre-concentration may be conducted whereby the solid content is increased from the starting concentration to about 50%.
- the pre- concentration may be carried out by any suitable method known to the skilled person, such as a falling-film method.
- At least a part of the main stream protein-contained concentrate obtained is subjected to a subsequent drying step obtaining a protein-containing powdery product.
- the main stream concentrate is normally divided into a recycling stream and a drying stream, said drying stream being subjected to the drying step as described above.
- the drying stream is led to a buffer tank, preferably having agitating means, before entering the drying means. If appropriate the drying stream may be cooled prior to the drying step.
- Highly concentrated protein-containing concentrate may be very viscous, however due to a possible visco-elastic and thixotropic nature of the concentrate, the circulation rate has a great influence on the viscosity of the concentrate.
- the circulation rate is controlled to any suitable rate with respect to the apparatus in use.
- the rate is preferably as high as possible reducing the viscosity of the liquid concentrate.
- the method has been described with respect to one evaporation unit comprising a heater and a flash separator. However, the method may also be conducted in a system comprising two or more units. Thereby, the concentration of the liquid concentrate solids is increased stepwise.
- the concentration of the liquid concentrate from the first unit may be 62 %, and from the second unit 68 % starting with 50% in the liquid. For each unit recirculation of the liquid concentrate may take place as described above. A more energy-efficient concentration process is obtained when the concentration is carried out stepwise.
- the system comprises two units whereby at least a part of the main stream protein-containing concentrate is a feeding stream to be subjected to a second heating step in a second heater, and a second separating step obtaining a second main stream protein-containing concentrate. At least a part of the thus obtained concentrate may then be subjected to the drying step.
- the present method it has become possible to concentrate liquid products, in particular milk products, to a higher concentration than previously possible before subjecting the product to a drying step, whereby it has become possible to obtain a free-flowing, non-caking powdery product having a higher bulk density than by known processes.
- the powder flowability may be measured according to Chere- misinoff (se below) whereby a free-flowing powdery product is having an angle of repose of 30 or less.
- the caking properties are estimated by examining the crust formed on a spoonful of powder, subjected to 60 and 80 % respective humidity at 20°C for 24 hours.
- a powdery product having a higher bulk density than previously obtainable is produced by the present method.
- the increase in bulk density leads to a decrease in cost for packaging, storage and transport of the powder obtained.
- a fat-containing powder it is possible to obtain a large portion of the fat as free fat which is especially desirable when producing milk powder for the chocolate industry.

- the secondary stream is fed to the buffer tank, wherein a continuous mixing operation is being performed to provide agitation and residence time, to change the properties of the product emerging from the mixing means.
- the content of total solids in the main stream after the initial cooling may be measured.
- An example of measurement may be withdrawal from the main stream immediately after the mixing means of a sample, and obtaining a measure of the content of total solids in the sample.
