Yogurt Production Line and Factory Setup

A yogurt production line is a dairy processing system designed to produce set or stirred yogurt through milk preparation, pasteurization, homogenization, inoculation, fermentation, cooling, and packaging. The process yields yogurt with controlled texture, acidity, and shelf life.

Precise control of heat treatment, starter culture activity, fermentation temperature, and cooling is essential for consistent quality.

Main raw materials include milk, starter culture, and optional milk powder, sugar, fruit, stabilizers, and flavors. Core equipment consists of filters, preheaters, homogenizers, pasteurizers, fermentation tanks, coolers, and filling machines, plus CIP systems.

The Industrial Department supports new investors establishing a yogurt factory and existing plant owners requiring repair, overhaul, capacity expansion, or automation. Projects may start from an empty site or from an operating facility needing technical upgrading.

Engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and technical support can be provided for projects in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan, and other regional markets under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The yogurt line is an integrated dairy process. Capacity is determined during engineering (typical ranges 500–5000 L/h or higher). The process sequence is: milk reception and filtration, preheating, homogenization, pasteurization, inoculation and fermentation, cooling, and packaging.

Main machinery includes milk filter, preheater, homogenizer (1000–5000 L/h, 150–200 bar), pasteurizer (500–5000 L/h, 85–95 °C), fermentation tanks (1000–10000 L), filling machine (2000–12000 cups/h), and CIP system.

Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, steam, process water, refrigeration, and hygienic building design. Manpower is typically 8–15 persons per shift.

Support can be examined for projects in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok), Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Afghanistan (Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif), Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Syria, Oman, Jordan, Turkey, Armenia, and Georgia.

Manufacturing Process

  1. Milk Reception and Filtration – Milk is received, tested, and filtered.
  2. Preheating and Homogenization – Milk is preheated and homogenized.
  3. Pasteurization – Milk is heated to 85–95 °C for the required time and cooled to incubation temperature.
  4. Inoculation and Fermentation – Starter culture is added and milk is fermented under controlled temperature until the target pH is reached.
  5. Cooling – Yogurt is cooled to stop fermentation.
  6. Packaging – Yogurt is filled into cups or other containers.

Machinery & Equipment

  • Homogenizer – Improves texture and stability.
  • Pasteurizer – Ensures food safety and prepares milk for fermentation.
  • Fermentation Tanks – Controlled incubation of inoculated milk.
  • Filling Machine – Fills cups or containers at high speed.
  • CIP System – Automated cleaning of process equipment.

Support is available for design, manufacturing or procurement, installation, commissioning, repair, overhaul, refurbishment, automation, and spare parts.

Factory Layout & Building Requirements

Typical areas: milk reception, processing hall, fermentation area, cold storage, packaging, utilities, laboratory, and staff facilities. Hygienic zoning is essential.

Utilities

  • Electricity: 380 V three-phase, 100–300 kW
  • Steam: 300–800 kg/h
  • Water: 10–30 m³/day
  • Refrigeration

Turnkey Factory Setup
