Epd FOR “PIACERE LEGGERO” FRESH MILK IN PET BOTTLES 4. The Production Process The production process can be divided into the following four main phases: • production and collecting of raw milk at the cowsheds and transport to the plants; • production of containers; • industrial milk pasteurization and packaging process (Figure 1); • transport to the distribution platforms (afterwards the milk can be distributed to sales points or sent to Transit Point where the pre-ordered products assembly takes place). 4.

Epd FOR “PIACERE LEGGERO” FRESH MILK IN PET BOTTLES Before being unloaded, the milk received is subjected to an initial incoming test to make sure that it is suitable for processing. After the refrigerated storage phase (at about 4°C), the milk is transferred to the pasteurization process, which consists of a continuous flow heat treatment at a temperature of 76°C for 21” (Figure 2). The phase after the pasteurization process consists in packaging the milk (Figure 3). The process starts with the transformation of the preforms into bottles, which are transferred to the filling machine and then labelled and grouped into bundles located on pallets. The so packaged milk is then transferred to the distribution from where it will be distributed directly to the points of sale or via the Transit Points where the pre-ordered products are assembled. 4.
