From cow to ice cream part 2

In  the overall ice cream  production  process ,the mixing  process is the most important part .the mix has to be measured ,mixed , and tasted by a pearson named the "mix master". Usually six or so farmers join together to fprm one ice cream factory. The "mix master" works in the factory. He has  to be sure that he follows precise recipes .To start  the mix making process, the requiried ingredients  are pumped from storage areas through many pipes which are connected to the "bleder tank". The mix master combines the correct amounts of mix ingredients and starts the mixing process.After the mixing process is finished , the product is transferred to the surge tank where it is  cleaned  of unwanted materials such as egg shells.
  The next step is  ,making  ice cream is also very important. THAT  IS THE PASTEURIZATION AND HOMOGENIZATION PROCESS.The pasteurization method  begins  as the mix is transferred from the surge tank  to  the pasteurization tanks. As the mix gets  to the pasteurization tank it's heated and cooled at the same time. Once the mix has reached the pasteurization temperature of 183 F and has been held at taht temperature for twenty seconds, it is finally cooled. After repeating this a couple times the pasteurization is finally done, and the mix goes to the next step, homogenization.
