Abstract

This research was conducted to identify the damaged packages milk and cheese losses at different rates of packging processes. Six rates were studied for two different products of fluid milk and vita cheese using tetra brick aseptic packaging machine in addition to quantity of  losses milk. Experiments were carried out in Green Land middle east Co. plant for food production at 10th of Ramadan City with in the period from Jan., 2015 to Feb., 2015.
The percent of damage packages  for milk or cheese and losses quantity of milkin the plant wereevaluated.
*The percent of damaged milk packages in different tetra brick aseptic packaging machine rate for packages volumes (milk 200 ml, milk mix fruit 200 ml, milk 500 ml, milk 1000 ml and milk mix 1000 ml) ranged from (0.60~1.30) %, (0.70~1.70) %, (0.60~1.20) %, (0.41~1.60) % and (0.70~3.10) % while the percent of losses of milk quantity were ranges (1~4.22) %, (1.22~2.26) %, (1.25~3.22) %, (0.92~2.98) % and (1.17~3.63) %  in plant respectively.
*The percent of damaged vita cheese packages in different tetra brick aseptic packaging machine rate for packages volumes (vita cheese 250 gm and vita cheese 500 gm) were ranges  (0.23~1.72) % and (0.10~0.58) % in plant respectively.
The results and obtained data cleared that the suitable machine rate using six different packaging speed for each volum & product were respectiviely.     
*Milk 200 ml, mix milk 200 ml, milk 500 ml milk 1000 ml and mix milk   1000 ml were (7140, 6540, 5160, 6420 & 5760) pack/h in the plant respectively.
*Vita cheese (250 and 500) gm were (5160& 5040) pack/h in plant respectively.
