PINGUIL LOJA, Darío J.; LOJANO PILLCON, Víctor R.; JARA COBOS, Nelson G.  and  REINOSO AVECILLAS, Fran Z.. IMPROVEMENT OF THE LACTOSE GRINDING PROCESS FOR A COMPANY MANUFACTURING DAIRY PRODUCTS. Ingenius [online]. 2022, n.28, pp.71-79. ISSN 1390-860X.  https://doi.org/10.17163/ings.n28.2022.07.

This research presents results obtained after having implemented an improvement in the lactose grinding process of a company which manufactures dairy products, the current situation of the process was determined identifying that in a continuous 48-hourgrinding time, lactose particle size of 40.23 μm. is obtained.After theoretical and experimental developed research process, it was obtained a fine grinding with a particle size of 22 μm average in a grinding time of5 continuous hours as the best option, using a drummills with a volume of 25% grinding elements and61 rpm operating speed, when using cylpebs whichare specified in this research which generates savings in raw material (lactose), energy consumption and operation time of the grinding process.

Keywords : Lactose; particle size; granulometric analysis; cylpebs distribution.
