Dairies

Dairy companies are companies that process raw milk into products such as drinking milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt. Current challenges include rising production costs due to higher energy and raw material prices, as well as adapting to changing consumer preferences, which increasingly demand sustainable and regional products. Global market conditions, such as fluctuations in demand from key importing countries, also influence the industry. Trends such as the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies for process optimization and the development of innovative, health-oriented products are shaping the industry. These developments aim to increase efficiency and meet evolving market demands.

The microbial count of incoming milk is tested at least twice a month in accordance with the Milk Quality Ordinance. Using a fluorescence microscope, the number of microorganisms is recorded and expressed in colony-forming units (CFU). This ensures that the milk always meets the highest quality standards.

Whey has a high lactose content. This is obtained through crystallization. In order to observe the crystal formation, a sample is examined under the microscope. The aim is to achieve a medium crystal size, which in turn can only develop through a certain composition of the whey. The purpose of the microscopic progress test is to check whether the crystallization process is proceeding correctly.

Rennet for cheese production is available in liquid and powder form. To make cheese, cheesemakers weigh the required rennet powder precisely using precision scales. Accurate measurement is extremely important, as every tenth of a gram can change the final product and its specific properties, which should be avoided.
