Equipment needed for making tvorog (quark)

Tvorog (quark) is a very popular cultured dairy product in Russia. Tasty, filling and healthy, it is part of our diet from early childhood. There are many producers on the market today, yet even so, a business making this food product has great prospects, because a good product will always find its buyer.

Process automation is one of the main conditions for a successful tvorog business, and for that you need to purchase dedicated equipment.

When choosing equipment, start from the following factors:

• the volume of milk produced

• the tvorog production technology

• the budget

Traditional tvorog production includes the following stages:

• milk reception
• standardization of milk to the required composition
• milk clarification and pasteurization
• cooling the milk to the inoculation temperature
• adding starter culture and rennet to the milk
• fermentation of the milk – cutting the coagulum
• whey separation – cooling the tvorog
• packing

The minimum equipment needed to make tvorog:

• a VDP batch pasteurizer (vertical-type curd vat)

• a press trolley

• a cold room

Ideally, you will need:

• a milk cooling tank to collect and store the milk from milking

• a milk quality analyser

• a separator to separate cream from milk

• a pasteurizer-cooler

• a VT curd vat for milk standardization, inoculation and whey separation

• a special knife for cutting the coagulum

• a press trolley for self-pressing the tvorog and transporting it

• a cold room

• an automatic packing and labelling machine
