Milk processing equipment

Pasteurization is the first and mandatory step of any dairy production, and it is where a production company from Zabaykalsky Krai began upgrading its workshop. In May 2021 it received a VDP-600 batch pasteurizer (long-time pasteurization vat).

The company processes milk from local farms into drinking milk and cultured dairy products. Its previous vessels could not maintain a stable temperature regime: heating was uneven, the product overheated at the walls, and the taste of the finished products varied from batch to batch.

The VDP-600 handles the process differently: 600 L of milk is heated through a jacket with a heat-transfer medium under constant agitation, held at pasteurization temperature for the set time and cooled in the same vessel. Gentle, even heating without local overheating preserves the taste of the milk, and automatic temperature control frees the operator from constantly standing by the vat with a thermometer in hand.

Besides pasteurization itself, the vat has also taken on the role of a fermentation vessel for kefir and yoghurt. This versatility of the VDP is especially valuable for small regional producers, where every piece of equipment must serve several purposes at once — and where the nearest service centre is hundreds of kilometres away, so a simple, reliable design comes first.
