Synopsis

This volume covers the main sectors of dairy technology, their basic science and manufacture, their mechanization and automation, and their quality control. An opening chapter considers the basic principles of automation - such as objectives, levels and tasks of automation systems; operation and programing of control systems; interactions between automation process control, quality control and management; use of automation in HACCP applications; and designing a process line. The chapters dealing with the individual sectors of the dairy industry examine the special problems which have been, and remain to be, solved in conversion from manual to mechanized operations, and show how the principles of automation can then be applied or adapted to make the mechanized process interactive within its component parts. The volume ends with a chapter on plant maintenance, cleaning and waste management.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume covers the main sectors of dairy technology, their basic science and manufacture, their mechanisation and automation, and their quality control.

Like any major and highly developed sector of food manufacturing, the dairy foods industry is now highly mechanised, from raw material production through to processing and product manufacture. This book has been written to show the extent and advantages of mechanisation across the range of dairy technology, and to explain the principles and rationale of introducing automated systems. In this way, authors demonstrate how combinations of state–of–the–art machinery and dedicated control systems bring to the dairy industry increased efficiency, higher quality and consistency, and opportunities for product innovation through its technological base.

The volume is directed at food scientists and technologists, quality assurance personnel, analytical chemists, microbiologists, and consultants in automation and expert systems.
