Production

EXPONENTA Production stages

Milk comes from various dairy farms in Belarus. Fertile soils of our country provide nutritious grasses for cows that produce high-quality, protein-rich milk.

Raw milk quality control

Incoming milk is tested for quality standards, protein and fat content.
Samples taken are strictly monitored for compliance with numerous quality parameters.
Modern laboratory equipment allows for accurate and efficient analysis of incoming raw milk.
Only 100% safe and clean milk comes for processing.

Milk whey treatment and purification

Raw milk is clotted during production. The resulting protein clot is cut to obtain curd and milk whey.

The whey undergoes a multistage purification process: on a shaker, clarifier, cream separator, followed by pasteurization of the purified skimmed whey.

Ultrafiltration process

Whey proteins are separated from milk whey as concentrate (WPC — whey protein concentrate) by ultrafiltration using modern, high-performance membrane equipment.

Ultrafiltration technology is a type of membrane technology for fractionation and concentration of polydisperse systems (milk, whey, juice, wine, beer, etc.), which allows working with food systems, preserving the native state of their components, processing and physiological properties.

Microparticulation process

To ensure high consumer properties, WPC produced at the ultrafiltration unit undergoes microparticulation process. This process provides for formation of whey protein particles with sizes comparable to those of fat globules, which gives the protein product the organoleptic properties of cream.

After microparticulation, the prepared protein base undergoes a mandatory heat treatment process to guarantee the microbiological safety of the produced product.

Lactobacillus fermentation, addition of natural flavorings and sweeteners

Refrigeration and bottling of finished products

Refrigeration and bottling of finished products EXPONENTA HIGH-РRО is bottled on TREPKO filling machine. The hourly output is 5.000 cups. ЕХРОNЕNТА IMMUNO SHOT is bottled on INDEX 6 filling line. The hourly output is 3.000 bottles. The process involves 3 employees: 2 operators and 1 stacker/packer.

Quality control of finished products

After the production of each batch, control samples are taken and stored throughout the entire shelf life. The company operates HACCP food safety system, and has also implemented an internal algorithm for prompt response to consumer appeals on the quality of our products.

Clear logistics

Batches of finished products, after obtaining quality and safety certificate, following the next laboratory control are sent to the logistics center. Products are loaded into refrigerated trucks and delivered to the sales branches and supermarket chains at temperatures between +2°C and +6°C.
