Used Processing Line for small dairy products 2000 L/h Milk Reception
and Initial Storage The Used Processing Line for Small Dairy Products
2000 L/h begins with a milk reception unit consisting of two
Lactofreeze tanks and a receiving pump. Initially, operators channel
raw milk into the tanks, where it remains chilled. As a result, the
system ensures thermal stability before processing. Furthermore, this
setup minimizes the bacterial load while allowing continuous transfer
to the pasteurization stage. Pasteurization and Separation Next, the
pasteurization phase uses a plate heat exchanger with a retention
section and auxiliary systems, all rated for 2,000 liters per hour.
Specifically, the pasteurizer rapidly heats and holds milk at a
predefined temperature to eliminate pathogens. Then, the GEA WESTFALIA
separatorârated at 3,000 L/hâperforms cream separation.
Simultaneously, the RANNIE homogenizer (1,000 L/h) reduces fat
globules, thus enhancing emulsion stability and preventing cream rise.
Fermentation and Coagulation Following thermal treatment, the milk
proceeds to fermentation. Here, operators use an insulated double-wall
fermentation tank with a 1,000-liter capacity and planetary agitator.
Consequently, they maintain uniform bacterial activity and precise
temperature control. In parallel, a 1,000-liter coagulation vat
equipped with a planetary mixer initiates the curdling process. Both
tanks ensure optimal protein structuring for yogurt, cheese, and
cultured cream products. Cheese Processing and Draining After
coagulation, the Used Processing Line for Small Dairy Products 2000
L/h continues with cheese processing. The system includes a 500-liter
vat with a draining sieve and two cheese draining tables. Therefore,
operators can efficiently handle large curd volumes. Moreover, these
components simplify whey separation while ensuring sanitary
compliance. Additionally, their design supports easy cleaning and
cross-contamination prevention. Packaging Operations Once products are
ready for packing, the line integrates semi-automatic and automatic
solutions. First, a semi-automatic filler doses pasteurized milk into
1-liter bags. Subsequently, the yogurt cup filler automatically fills
and seals 75 mm and 95 mm cups at up to 1,800 units per hour.
Meanwhile, the rotary labeling machine by ETICAP (2004) applies both
front and rear self-adhesive labels on cylindrical cups. Importantly,
the machine ensures consistent alignment and adhesion. Date Coding,
Thermal Control, and Final U6354234 Packing In addition, a Videojet
1220 coder (2019) applies expiry dates onto each product via belt
conveyor. Further downstream, a vacuum packaging machine handles cream
and cheese portions. Thermal utilities include a 115â150 kW solid
fuel boiler (2014) with dual transfer pumps. At the same time, an ice
water tank (5,000 L, 2014) and a cooling unit (2018) maintain
temperature consistency across the line. Laboratory and Accessories
Alongside processing units, the Used Processing Line for Small Dairy
Products 2000 L/h features a dedicated laboratory. Specifically, it
houses analytical tools for quality control and milk analysis.
Additionally, the line includes 300 plastic crates for storing and
transporting yogurt cups. System Shutdown and Storage Finally,
operators shut down the line in September 2023. Before dismantling,
they cleaned all units and verified mechanical condition. As a result,
all equipment was stored properly. Therefore, any buyer can reinstall
the Used Processing Line for Small Dairy Products 2000 L/h
immediately, without requiring extensive refurbishing.
