Yogurt Production Line

Overview

Our Yogurt Production Line is an advanced turnkey solution for producing set yogurt, stirred yogurt, drinking yogurt, and flavored yogurt.
Designed for industrial dairy processors, this line ensures consistent product quality, high automation, and full compliance with HACCP, ISO22000, and CE food safety standards.

The system integrates milk preparation, homogenization, pasteurization, fermentation, cooling, and filling — providing efficient, hygienic, and flexible production of various yogurt types.

Production Flow

1️⃣ Milk Reception & Standardization
Raw milk is received and filtered through a stainless-steel milk receiving system, ensuring impurities are removed.
Fat and solids are standardized automatically to achieve the desired yogurt texture and consistency.

2️⃣ Homogenization
A high-pressure homogenizer breaks milk fat globules to enhance mouthfeel and prevent cream separation — resulting in smooth and uniform yogurt.

3️⃣ Pasteurization
Milk is pasteurized at 85–90°C for 15–30 seconds to eliminate harmful microorganisms and denature proteins, improving gel formation during fermentation.

4️⃣ Cooling & Inoculation
After pasteurization, milk is rapidly cooled to 42–45°C, and starter cultures (e.g., Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus) are added precisely by dosing systems.

5️⃣ Fermentation
Fermentation takes place in insulated incubation tanks, maintaining constant temperature and gentle agitation until the target acidity and pH are reached (usually 4.4–4.6).

6️⃣ Cooling & Storage
Once fermentation is complete, yogurt is cooled to 4°C to stop bacterial activity and preserve texture. Stirred yogurt may undergo gentle mixing to achieve the desired viscosity.

7️⃣ Filling & Packaging
Automatic filling machines are used for cups, bottles, or pouches, equipped with CIP and sterilization functions, ensuring safe and contamination-free packaging.
