Formulate, standardise, and finish yoghurt with continuous in-line control; blending liquid ingredients and fruit preparations under hygienic, low-shear conditions for consistent results.
Traditional batch mixing often causes inconsistent solids, air incorporation, and long changeovers. Poor control of ingredient ratios or excessive shear leads to viscosity drift, separation, and fruit damage; driving waste, rework, and off-spec product. Yoghurt producers need a continuous, automated blending system that maintains product quality, repeatability, and throughput without manual intervention.
Our Solution:
- Traditional batch mixing often causes inconsistent solids, air incorporation, and long changeovers.
- Poor control of ingredient ratios or excessive shear leads to viscosity drift, separation, and fruit damage; driving waste, rework, and off-spec product.
- Yoghurt producers need a continuous, automated blending system that maintains product quality, repeatability, and throughput without manual intervention.
