Abstract:
A system and method is provided for processing milk for spray drying. The system may have a pre-evaporator configured to receive and concentrate the milk stream producing an intermediate concentration milk. The system may also have a first buffer tank configured to receive the intermediate concentration milk and store the intermediate concentrate milk at a reduced temperature. The system may further have a first finisher evaporator configured to draw the intermediate concentration milk from the first buffer tank and concentrate the intermediate concentration milk producing a final concentration milk. The final concentration milk may be suitable for spray drying.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the milk stream received by the pre-evaporator is whole milk or standardized whole milk having a total solids (TS) concentration between about 12% TS to about 14% TS, the intermediate concentration milk produced by the pre-evaporator has a concentration between about 30% TS to about 42% TS, and the final concentration milk produced by the first finisher evaporator has a concentration between about 40% TS to about 65% TS.
