• Milk Silo Culture (Dairy Performance Enhancing Cultures)

 

The protection of raw milk in silos and tankers has become a paramount concern. Not only is it essential to protect the milk supply, but cheese manufacturers understand that unwanted bacterial contamination prior to pasteurization cuts into their profitability due to degradation of fat and protein. Milk Silo Cultures are patented, highly innovative products that have been effectively used in the industry to protect millions of pounds of raw milk.

• Anti-Caking Agents

 

IMAC was the first company in the industry to receive a patent for utilizing rice, corn or potato to produce superior anti-caking agents. We manufacture our own spray-dried products and maintain the absolute highest standard of quality, price, and on-time delivery.
