The crystallization tank is equipped with a powerful agitator designed to keep all the content in the tank in suspension to avoid lactose crystals from settling at the bottom of the tank. The crystallization time of whey and permeate concentrate for powder production is depending on the solids content in the concentrate. The higher solids content the shorter time. When the concentrate leaves the evaporator at approx. 60 % solids it is flash-cooled to 30 C before pumped to the crystallization tank, where further cooling is done.
Typically 80 % of the lactose is crystallized after 14-16 hours. For practical purpose the necessary tank volume is calculated as follows (based on 3 tanks - one being filled up, one crystallizing and one being emptied.
