HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT 



cable for the commercial manufacture of the diverse forms of 

 condensed milk and milk by-products. 



The simplicity and economy of the equipment involved, the 

 simplicity and rapidity of the process and the fact that no water 

 is required for condensing the escaping" vapors, are decided ad- 

 vantages over the condensation in vacuo. Already the demand 

 for these concentrators among condenseries and ice cream fac- 

 tories is very great. This process lends itself admirably to the 

 establishment and operation of small local condenseries and milk 

 shipping stations where milk is condensed and then shipped for 

 packing and sterilization to concentration plants.
