Soy Milk – Mfg Process
1. Procuring the raw materials
Harvesting the soy beans and delivering them to the manufacturer’s
plant. The beans are cleaned in a grain elevator.

2. De-hulling
The soybeans are steamed and split in half. This loosens the hull on
the bean. A vacuum sucks off the hulls.

3. Invalidating the indigestible enzyme
Cooking the soy beans using high pressure, Water, and high
temperature to invalidate an enzyme, called LOX, which makes
them indigestible to humans.

4. Rough grinding
The cooked soybeans then fall into the first rough grinder or mill.
Water is added to the machine and the bean pieces are roughly
ground in this first milling.

5. Finer grinding
The fine grinder further pulverizes the bean pellets into small
particles.

6. Extracting
A large centrifuge is then used to extract the tiny bits of soybean
that are insoluble and cannot be included in the finished product.
This waste soy fiber is called okara and it resembles mashed
potatoes.

7. Blending
The raw milk is injected into large tanks and
flavorings, sugar, and vitamins are mixed
separately in smaller tanks.
8. Aseptic sterilizing
Sterilization occurs with pressure and very hot
temperatures within a vacuum for a short
period of time.

9. Homogenizing
the hot milk is sent to the homogenizer (high-pressure piston pump)
which breaks down the fat particles and prevents them from
separating from the rest of the mixture.

10. Cooling, Storing and Packaging
•
Cooling the temperature of the soy milk to room temperature.
•
The cooled milk is sent to the aseptic (sealed) tanks which
refrigerate, pressurize, and seal it to ensure no bacteria thrives
in the milk.
•
Packaging is made by machines that have been developed for
this product, without exposing the milk to air.

Innovation in processing the okara
The okara is sent to a drying machine which transform it into a
high-fiber, high-protein animal feed.
