How CONDENSED MILK is MADE
Wncn the milk is brought into the factory
it is carefully strained, placed in cans or
pals, which arc put into tank Of water
kept hot by steam coils. When hot, it is
transferred to larger, steam heated, open
vessels, and quickly brought to boil
This preliminary heating and boiling has
for its objects the expulsion of the gases OF
milk, which would cause it to foam in the
vacuum pan, and also to I'd to the keep
ing quality Of milk by destroying the mould
germs. \ second straining follows, after
which the milk is transferred to vacuum
pan, where, at temperature below 160 de-
grees Fahr, it bols and is rapidly concen-
tratcd to any degree desired. The vacuum
pan employed IS close vessel of copper,
egg-shapcd, about six inches in diameter
1t is heated by steam coils within, and by
steam jacket without, inclosing the lower
portion. In one side ofthc dome is small
window through which the gas Eliminates
the interior, while OF the opposite side is
an eye glass, through which the condition
of the contents a-c observed The pan is
also provided with a vacuum gauge and
test sticks.
Much of the milk used n cities is simply
c)nceatrated, without any addition of sugar
The process Of concentration is contn-
ucd in the vacuum pan until one gallon of
the milk has been reduced to a little less
than quart. Condensed milk intended to
