Using Sonic Horns for Dairy Production
Sonic horns, also known as acoustic cleaners, have become increasingly popular in various industries due to their ability to efficiently and effectively clean equipment and surfaces. In the milk powder production industry, sonic horns have proven to be an essential tool for enhancing productivity and improving product quality. Here are some of the benefits of using sonic horns for milk powder production.
Improved Equipment Efficiency
Milk powder production requires the use of various pieces of equipment, such as spray dryers, which can get clogged over time with accumulated powder and other residues. Sonic horns work by producing high-frequency sound waves that cause vibration and shockwaves, dislodging any material buildup inside the equipment, which adds to the improved productivity of milk powders. This means that sonic horns can incorporate more efficient production processes, and improve the efficiency of the equipment by ensuring that it operates at optimal performance, with a faster drying time, which in return reduces downtime.
Reduced Cleaning Time
Cleaning milk powder production equipment can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. However, sonic horns can significantly reduce cleaning time by quickly removing any material buildup. Sonic horns also allow room for reduced energy consumption, as it takes less time. With the help of sonic horns, cleaning can be done quickly and efficiently, thereby saving both time and labor costs.
Improved Product Quality
The quality of the milk powder produced in a production facility is crucial in determining its market value and profitability. Any contamination in the production process can affect the quality of the final product. Sonic horns are effective in removing any foreign material that may contribute to contamination, ensuring better quality dairy products being made that still meet the regulatory standards.
Reduced Labor Costs
Sonic horns are a cost-effective solution compared to other cleaning methods. They require low maintenance and labor costs, and the equipment requires minimal installation. Additionally, sonic horns are energy-efficient and can consume less than 1% of the compressed air used. This means that they are eco-friendly and can reduce the overall operational costs of the production facility.
Safe and Simple Operation
Sonic horns also improve worker safety, as they are safe and easy to operate. They do not require any human intervention, and once installed, they can run automatically, ensuring that the equipment is cleaned continuously. With decreased hands on work, fewer equipment failures are able to occur. Also, sonic horns do not use any harmful chemicals or cleaning agents, which makes them safe to use in a food production facility, and safe for the surrounding animals. This also helps create and make a cleaner environment. As there are no harmful chemicals used, a more minimized product contamination rate is maintained.
