Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Powdered milk manufacturing workers produce powdered dairy products from raw milk through processes such as defatting, homogenization, sterilization, concentration, and drying.
Description
Powdered milk manufacturing workers start from receiving and inspecting raw milk, undergo pre-treatments such as defatting, homogenization, sterilization, and concentration, then powder it using drying equipment such as spray dryers, and handle cooling, sieving, and packaging. They operate and monitor equipment, manage temperature and humidity, conduct quality inspections (such as pH and moisture content measurements), implement hygiene management using CIP (clean-in-place), and supply safe and secure powdered milk that meets standards. Responding to machine troubles, regular maintenance, and record management are also important tasks.
Future Outlook
Powdered milk has stable demand as infant formula and industrial raw materials, and expertise is required due to advancements in safety and quality management technologies. While automation and AI are progressing, the demand for skilled workers to handle troubleshooting and quality assurance is expected to continue.
