Production and processing of milk is one of the areas of agriculture. Its mandatory stage is the control and evaluation of the quality of raw materials. To do this, a number of indicators are calculated, which is carried out using special equipment - a milk analyzer.

Device assignment

Milk analyzer - a device for assessing the quality of dairy products. It allows you to quickly and accurately set the following indicators: density, percentage of fat content, the presence of additives and harmful substances, the proportion of lactose, acidity level, sample temperature, etc.

The milk analyzer analyzes the product without the use of chemicals. This ensures that the evaluation product is hygienic and environmentally friendly.

The milk quality analyzer is commonly used in farms, dairy collection points and food processing plants. It is also often used in research laboratories.

Analyzer functions

Universal models of analyzers allow you to analyze samples of all types of dairy products with maximumaccurate results. No special sample preparation is required. Products with a viscous consistency can be placed directly into the device without prior dilution.

Automatic analyzers measure freezing point, electrical conductivity and milk composition.

The presence of calibration devices allows you to simultaneously analyze the basic parameters of raw materials, semi-finished and finished dairy products.

Measurables

The milk analyzer calculates the following indicators:

1. In milk: titratable acidity and density, amount of protein, fat, lactose, solids, casein, urea, free fatty acids.
2. In concentrated milk: proportion of dry non-fat milk residue, percentage of fat and solids.
3. In cream, cheese curds and baby food: the concentration of fats, proteins, SOMO and solids.
4. In yoghurts and other fermented dairy products: amount of SOMO, glucose, lactose, sucrose, fructose, lactic acid, protein, fat, solids.
5. In dairy desserts: total carbohydrates, protein, solids, fat, SOMO, lactose, glucose, fructose, sucrose.
6. In cheeses: s alt concentration, amount of SOMO, proteins and fats.

You can analyze milk according to the indicated indicators using professional devices of domestic production.

Apparatus "Klever-1"

This is an ultrasonic milk analyzer that determines the content of protein, fat and dry skimmed milk residue. Also this deviceallows you to set the density and temperature of dairy products.

The Klever-1 milk analyzer works according to a method based on measuring ultrasound in milk at a certain composition and temperature.

Device Benefits:

1. Ability to measure many indicators.
2. High performance.
3. Accurate results.
4. Environmental friendly and safe.
5. Durability.
6. Ease of use.

The required sample volume for analysis is 20 cubic meters. see. In an hour of continuous operation, the device can analyze 22 samples.

Klever-2 analyzer

Klever-2 milk analyzer has great potential. The instrument measures protein, fat, milk solids, lactose, fat-free residue and added water. The analyzer also sets the freezing point and the degree of milk homogenization.

Klever-2 analyzer works in 2 modes. When choosing the first mode, a quick or express analysis of the main indicators for assessing the quality of milk is carried out. In the second mode, the device measures the entire range of indicators of milk and whole cheese with maximum accuracy.

The Klever-2 device is an improved model. The device is equipped with a liquid crystal display with a control menu. The user can independently choose the appropriate mode and set the necessary settings.

The machine is powered by the mains. For the use of the device in the field, the use of a sourcepower through car cigarette lighter.

The analyzer can run for 12 consecutive hours. Built-in memory remembers 100 measurements.

Express analysis time is 3.5 minutes. For its implementation, a sample volume of 20 cubic meters is required. see. The measurement of indicators in the second mode lasts 5.5 minutes, and the volume of the analyzed mass should be 200 cubic meters. see

Milk analyzer "Lactan 1-4 M"

Another Russian-made apparatus, Laktan, has good technical characteristics. The equipment is designed for analysis at processing plants, state and collective farms, dairy kitchens and milk collection points.

"Lactan 1-4 M" is characterized by wide functionality and optimal cost. A feature of the device is the ability to determine the protein. Protein measurement by the traditional method lasts up to 6 hours. In this case, it becomes necessary to use additional materials.

Ultrasonic milk analyzer "Lactan 1-4" provides stable results, minimum cost of analysis and safety of the procedure. The device is convenient and easy to use. The analyzer is able to work well for many years.

The device can be connected to a computer to store and process the measurements. The device comes with a connecting cable and software.

Mini analyzer "Lactan"

To assess the quality of milk in small enterprises, areduced model of the analyzer "Lactan 1-4 M Mini". This compact device determines the fat content of milk, the amount of added water, the density and the proportion of SOMO.

Mini milk analyzers "Laktan" are produced to meet the needs of private farms working with a small amount of dairy products. Initially, they were developed only to measure the fat content of milk. However, the instrument manufacturer has managed to add several features that are commonly used to assess the quality of dairy products. Therefore, "Lactan 1-4 M Mini" is currently successfully used in various enterprises, completely replacing large devices.

The device is supplied with a plastic case with a carrying handle, which contains the device and accessories necessary for analysis.

How to use

Basically, the preparation of the apparatus for use and the analysis proceed as follows:

1. Place the milk analyzer in a convenient place in an upright position. It is important that the surface is level and stable. It is ideal to use the analyzer on a table or pedestal.
2. Set the required mode of operation. After selecting the mode, the device will start to warm up. Usually, warming up is performed automatically immediately after connecting the machine to the network. After heating, the display shows information about the readiness of the analyzer for operation.
3. Fill the special container for samples with the required amount of milk and place in the machine according to the instructions. The sample temperature must be within the recommendedvalues.
4. When performing an analysis using a suction pump, install a stopper with a tube and select the appropriate mode. Then fill the measuring cup with milk and place it in the place where the sample was taken. After the milk is sucked into the machine, the measurement will begin.
5. Analysis of milk without a pump is carried out using a piston, under the action of which the milk enters the measuring chamber.
6. After the analysis is completed, the measurement results are shown on the display.
7. To maintain the machine's performance, you must keep it clean. After using the analyzer, thoroughly flush the measuring chamber and tubing following the instructions.
