SS316 Yogurt Fermentation Tank
Equilateral Solutions manufactures hygienic SS316 yogurt fermentation tanks for controlled fermentation, incubation, and gentle mixing of yogurt and cultured dairy products. Engineered for hygienic processing, temperature control, and effective CIP cleaning, these tanks support reliable dairy production.
Available in capacities from 500 to 5,000 litres, our yogurt fermentation tanks can be customized to match batch size, fermentation cycles, plant layout, and customer requirements.
Key Features
SS316 Hygienic Construction
Product-contact parts are manufactured from SS316 stainless steel with smooth internal surfaces and hygienically finished welds. Internal surface finishes up to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm can be provided according to project specifications.
Gentle Agitation
The tank can be equipped with a low-shear agitator suitable for yogurt processing. Fixed-speed or variable frequency drive (VFD)-controlled agitation can be selected according to product viscosity, batch capacity, and process requirements.
Temperature-Controlled Fermentation
Optional heating or cooling jackets and thermal insulation help maintain the required fermentation temperature. RTD temperature sensors and automatic temperature controls can be integrated for accurate process monitoring.
CIP & Hygienic Design
Designed with a drainable bottom, hygienic outlet, and sanitary connections to support effective cleaning. A fixed spray ball or rotary cleaning device can be provided for integration with the plant’s Clean-in-Place (CIP) system.
Instrumentation & Automation
Optional instrumentation includes temperature sensors, pH sensors, level transmitters, load cells, sanitary sampling valves, VFD controls, and PLC-HMI automation, depending on process requirements.
Applications
Our stainless steel yogurt fermentation tanks are suitable for processing:
- Yogurt and stirred yogurt
- Drinking yogurt
- Curd and cultured milk
- Lassi and buttermilk
- Other fermented dairy products
