Even large plants need a small batch pasteurizer — for tasks that are not worth running through the main line. A dairy plant from the Ryazan Region was looking for exactly such a unit: for small batches, experimental products and the work of its technology department.

In February 2019 the plant received a VDP-75 batch pasteurizer (long-time pasteurization vat). The 75 L vessel handles pasteurization, holding and cooling of milk, as well as preparing cultured dairy bases — the same functions as the larger vats in the range, but in a format suited to small volumes.

At the plant the unit is used as a "small circuit": developing new recipes before launching them on the main line, producing limited batches and heat-treating individual ingredients. The dairy process engineers can now test ideas on 75 litres without stopping or reconfiguring the industrial equipment.

A small VDP earns its place in the workshop through flexibility: it is on vessels like this that new products are born and then scaled up to full production volume. The equipment is made of food-grade stainless steel and passed factory testing before shipment.
