A yogurt processing line is a series of equipment and machinery used to produce yogurt in a large-scale production setting. The line typically includes various stages and processes, such as milk reception, milk storage, pasteurization, homogenization, fermentation, cooling, flavoring, filling, packaging, and labeling.
Milk Reception: Raw milk is received and tested for quality before it is stored in designated tanks.
Milk Storage: Milk is stored in temperature-controlled tanks to maintain its freshness and quality.
Pasteurization: The milk is heated to specific temperatures to kill harmful bacteria while preserving beneficial enzymes and nutrients.
Homogenization: The milk is then homogenized to ensure a consistent texture and prevent separation of cream.
Fermentation: The milk is inoculated with live cultures of bacteria (such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus) and incubated at controlled temperatures to allow the fermentation process to occur.
Cooling: Once the desired fermentation time is reached, the yogurt is cooled to stop the fermentation process and stabilize the product.
Flavoring: Flavors, fruits, or other additives are added to the yogurt to enhance taste and texture.
Filling: The yogurt is filled into individual containers, such as cups or bottles, through automated filling machines.
Packaging: The filled containers are then sealed, either by heat-sealing or using lids, and prepared for further processing.
Labeling: The containers are labeled with product information, including nutritional facts, ingredients, and branding.
Quality Control: Throughout the process, quality control measures are implemented to ensure that the yogurt meets the desired standards for taste, texture, and safety.
Storage and Distribution: The packaged yogurt is stored in appropriate conditions before being distributed to retailers or consumers.
Types of yoghurt: setting type, stirring type and adding various fruit juice jam and other accessories fruit flavor yogurt.
Packing form: HDPE plastic bottle, plastic cup, plastic bag, roof bag, glass bottle
Output: 2T / D-500T / D

Yoghurt fermentation system
includes: online culture addition system, ultra-clean fermentation tanks
system, aseptic air system,flexible cooling system and matched pipes,
valves,instruments and control programs, etc.
online culture addition system
The online culture addition system
adopts the ultra-clean culture online addition method, which includes culture
adding tube that
ultra-clean fermentation tanks
system
The ultra-clean fermentation tanks
system mainly refers to the fermentation tanks and auxiliary configuration to
be used in the yoghurt fermentation process
Flexible cooling system
The flexible cooling system mainly
includes a large channel low flow rate plate and a constant temperature water
system. Through this system, the fermented yoghurt can be cooled to about 20℃,and the
cooling temperature difference less than 5℃dT, which
can
Aseptic air system
Aseptic air system includes SUS304
bracket, including degreasing and dewatering filter, activated carbon filter,
coarse filter,sterilizing filter, steam filter; compressed air pressure
reducing valve, steam pressure reducing valve, pressure gauge,temperature
probes, etc., this system can be steam sterilized and CIP cleaned.It is used
for the protection of micro positive pressure in the tank during the fermentation
process, which can prevent the materials in the tank from being contaminated
can fit different types of cultures and an aseptic filter air positive
pressure protective cover that reaches a 100-level purification level
minimize the damage of the yoghurt viscosity, which can achieve better
post-fermentation effect.
