Vortex Solution

As a leader in the industry of dry bulk materials handling, we understand the intricacies involved in the production and handling of powdered milk. The process of transforming liquid milk into its powdered form is a delicate one, involving techniques such as evaporation and spray drying, where the milk is exposed to hot air, causing water to evaporate, leaving behind milk solids. These milk solids are then collected, resulting in a product that is not only lightweight and easier to transport but also has a longer shelf life.

Powdered milk is of significant importance due to its versatility and convenience. It plays a crucial role in various industries from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals, serving as a key ingredient in products like infant formula, confectionery, and nutritional supplements. Our company's expertise lies in providing customized solutions for handling powdered milk, ensuring its integrity from production to end-use. With our advanced technology and industry-specific knowledge, we are committed to delivering value-added products and services that cater to the unique needs of our clients.
