Milk processing equipment

A production company from the Kaluga Region processes milk in small batches and focuses on a short cycle from milk reception to finished product. For heat treatment of milk it needed a unit that combines several operations and does not require separate piping for each of them.

In March 2023 the company received a VDP batch pasteurizer (long-time pasteurization vat). A single vessel with a heat-exchange jacket handles heating the milk to pasteurization temperature, holding, cooling to the inoculation temperature and, if required, fermenting cultured dairy products.

Such a versatile unit is a rational solution for a workshop with a wide product range: in the morning the vat pasteurizes drinking milk, and in the afternoon it is used to prepare a base for yoghurt or sour cream. The agitator ensures even heating without burn-on, and temperature control saves the dairy process engineer from constant manual measurements.

Milberg made the vat from food-grade stainless steel and carried out factory testing before shipment, so connection at the customer's site took minimal time. Today the VDP is the central unit of the heat treatment section, around which the workshop's entire milk processing schedule is built.
