Description
A VDP batch pasteurizer (long-time pasteurization vat) is a jacketed vat with an agitator in which milk is pasteurized at up to 95 °C, cooled and fermented. It is used to make pasteurized milk, kefir, ryazhenka, yogurt and tvorog (quark). Milberg builds VDP vats from 75 to 1000 L in AISI 304/321 stainless steel with thermal insulation. Heating is by electric elements in a water jacket, by steam or by gas; cooling is by ice water (+2…+4 °C) in the same jacket. The product and heating-medium temperatures are set separately on the control panel and maintained automatically.
A distinctive feature of the Milberg VDP is separate setting of the product temperature and the heating-medium temperature (many other vats only control the jacket temperature). Low-viscosity products are therefore pasteurized quickly, while viscous curd and cheese coagulum heats evenly without overheating.
How milk is pasteurized in a VDP
During pasteurization milk is heated to 95 °C: the microorganisms present in raw milk are killed while the physical and chemical properties of the raw material are preserved.
The Milberg VDP is made of certified food-grade stainless steel (12Kh18N10T / AISI 304 / AISI 321). It has an outer cladding, thermal insulation, a product vessel and a jacket. The jacket is filled with water heated by electric elements or steam, and heat passes through the jacket to the product vessel. When heating is complete, ice water (+2…+4 °C) is fed into the jacket for rapid cooling. The product is stirred by the agitator throughout the process. The current product temperature is shown on the control panel, where the final pasteurization temperature is also set and controlled by a temperature sensor.

FAQ
Which VDP volume should I choose?
Size it by the amount of milk in one pasteurization batch. Standard volumes are 75, 100, 200, 350, 500, 630 and 1000 L. Tell us how much milk you process per shift and what you plan to make, and we will choose the volume.
Is a VDP with steam or gas heating available?
Yes. The standard version has electric heating elements in a water jacket (380 V); steam-heated and gas-heated VDPs are made to order.
How is the milk cooled in a VDP?
After pasteurization, ice water (+2…+4 °C) is fed into the jacket and the product quickly cools to fermentation or storage temperature. The agitator mixes the product throughout the process.
What else can a VDP be used for besides pasteurization?
Fermenting kefir, yoghurt and ryazhenka (baked fermented milk) and making tvorog (curd). Separate product and jacket temperature settings allow even heating of viscous curd and cheese coagulum.
Is the VDP available from stock?
Popular volumes are often in stock. Versions with a CIP washing head, or for steam or gas heating, are made to order.
How much does a VDP cost?
Prices start from €3,300. The final price depends on volume, heating type and options. We prepare a quotation within one business day.
