1. Automated Raw Milk Reception and Storage

The production process begins with proper milk handling. Fresh milk from dairy farms is immediately cooled to 4C and stored in our insulated milk storage tanks. This critical first step preserves milk quality before processing begins. Our cold storage tanks feature automated temperature monitoring systems, level sensors, and sanitary design to maintain raw material integrity. The automated control system alerts operators when milk reaches optimal processing temperature or when storage levels require attention.

2. Automated Milk Filtration and Purification

Raw milk passes through our high-efficiency duplex filter systems to remove impurities, hair, and particulate matter. The double-tank design allows continuous filtration without production interruption. This purification stage ensures only clean, pure milk enters the processing line, directly impacting final product quality. Automated back-flush systems maintain filter efficiency without manual cleaning.

3. Automated Standardization and Homogenization

Milk composition is automatically standardized to meet specific yogurt requirements using precision sensors and control valves. The milk then enters our dairy homogenization machines operating at 20-25MPa pressure and 55-70C temperature. This process reduces fat globule size from 3-5 microns to less than 1 micron, preventing cream separation and ensuring smooth, consistent yogurt texture throughout the product shelf life. Automated pressure and temperature controls maintain optimal homogenization parameters.

4. Automated Pasteurization and Sterilization

Our milk pasteurizer machines employ HTST (High-Temperature Short-Time) technology with automated temperature control, heating milk to 85C for 40 minutes or using UHT treatment at 125C. This critical control point eliminates pathogenic bacteria while preserving nutritional value and flavor compounds. The automated pasteurization process includes precise temperature monitoring, flow control, and automatic diversion valves that redirect under-processed milk back for reprocessing, ensuring food safety and product shelf stability.

5. Automated Cooling and Inoculation

Pasteurized milk is rapidly cooled to 43-45C through automated heat exchangers, the optimal temperature for yogurt cultures. At this stage, specific bacterial strains are automatically added under aseptic conditions using precision dosing pumps. Common cultures include Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bifidobacterium bifidum, depending on the desired yogurt type and health benefits. Automated culture dosing ensures consistent inoculation rates for uniform fermentation.

6. Automated Controlled Fermentation Process

The inoculated milk transfers to our yogurt fermentation tanks where automated systems maintain 43C for 6-8 hours. During fermentation, lactic acid bacteria convert lactose to lactic acid, causing milk proteins to coagulate and develop yogurt’s characteristic tangy flavor and thick texture. Our fermentation tanks feature automated temperature control, pH monitoring, and timer systems that alert operators when fermentation reaches optimal completion. The automated system can even initiate cooling when target pH is achieved, preventing over-fermentation.

7. Automated Final Cooling and Packaging

After fermentation, yogurt is rapidly cooled to 4C through automated cooling systems to stop bacterial activity. The cooled product then moves to our automatic yogurt filling machines for packaging into cups, bottles, or bulk containers. Our automated filling systems handle various container sizes from 100ml single-serve cups to 1000ml family containers, with automatic capping, sealing, and date coding capabilities. The packaging line includes automatic container feeding, fill-level sensors, and rejection systems for improperly filled containers.

8. Automated CIP Cleaning System

Between production runs, the entire line undergoes automated cleaning using our CIP (Clean-in-Place) cleaning systems. This three-tank system automatically circulates water, acid, and alkali solutions through all pipelines and tanks, ensuring thorough sanitation without disassembly. The automated CIP system reduces cleaning time to under 30 minutes while meeting strict food safety standards. Programmable cleaning cycles ensure consistent sanitation every time.

Advanced Automation Features
