[0002] Dairy products are a kind of drink with very high nutritional value in our daily life. They are made of cow's milk or goat's milk and their processed products as the main raw materials, with or without appropriate amounts of vitamins, minerals and other auxiliary materials. Dairy filling equipment is usually used in the process of dairy product production and filling;
