그만큼 yogurt production line （yogurt processing machines） is a fully automatic production line composed of multiple machines. This production line takes fresh milk as raw material and has been treated by pasteurization and fermentation. The yogurt produced by this production line has a unique taste and rich nutrition. As we all know, yogurt is a kind of healthy food, which has great benefits for the human body. So what are the benefits of yogurt compared to fresh milk?

Advantages of yogurt

1. Yogurt contains almost all the nutrients in milk, and after fermentation, the nutrition is more abundant.
2. After fermentation, the lactose in the milk is decomposed in large amounts, reducing the possibility of lactose intolerance.
3. In the process of making yogurt, milk is homogenized, macromolecular fat, protein is decomposed into small molecules, which is more conducive to human body absorption.
4. Yogurt contains a large number of active probiotics, which is beneficial to regulate the balance of the bacterial flora in the body. The lactic acid produced after fermentation can also inhibit the proliferation of harmful microorganisms, promote digestion and absorption, and improve gastrointestinal function.

Milk sterilization method

Pasteurization

Also known as low-temperature sterilization and cold sterilization. This method is to kill pathogenic 박테리아 in milk at low temperatures for a long time and preserve probiotics beneficial to the human body. Generally, the milk is heated to 62-85 ° C for 30 minutes. Using this method, it can kill various growth-type pathogenic bacteria in milk, and the sterilization efficiency can reach 97.3%~99.9%. After disinfection, only some thermophilic bacteria, thermotolerant bacteria, and spores remain, but most of these bacteria are lactic acid bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria are not only harmless to people but also beneficial to health. It can be preserved for about a week and needs to be refrigerated. The temperature range is about 2 – 6 degrees Celsius.

Ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization

This method is to heat milk to about 135-150 degrees Celsius for 4-15 seconds and then cool it quickly. The bactericidal time required is shorter and the bactericidal efficiency is higher. Because all microorganisms in milk die, they can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 months.

그만큼 pasteurization method is used in this yogurt production line. Studies have shown that no matter what kind of heating method will damage the water-soluble vitamins and proteins in milk. During the heating process, about 10% to 20% of the B group of vitamins and about 25% of the vitamin C will be lost. In general, the higher the heating temperature, the more serious the loss of nutrients. There is a kind of whey protein with high nutritional value in the milk. About 10% of whey protein denatured during pasteurization, while 70% of whey protein denatured during ultra-high temperature pasteurization. Therefore, pasteurized milk with low-temperature sterilization has a higher nutritional value.

The production process of the yogurt production line

Step 1: Refrigeration (Milk Tank)

The milk storage tank is mainly composed of the tank body, the heat preservation layer, the American Copeland compressor, the stirring device, and the control panel, and the storage temperature is 3-6 degrees Celsius. This machine is controlled by a microcomputer and can reach the cooling time in a short time. The programmed automatic control unit can automatically start or stop when the milk reaches the set temperature, effectively preventing the deterioration of fresh milk. The thermal insulation layer is filled with polyurethane foam with small thermal conductivity, so it has a lightweight and good thermal insulation effect.

Step 2: Filtration (single/double filter)

Single/double filters are mainly used to remove large impurities in milk. Usually, these impurities are caused by human activities, such as hair falling in milk barrels when milking, hay falling from cowsheds, feed floats, etc. The double filter is suitable for larger output, the quality of filtered milk can reach 100 mesh. The machine has the characteristics of strong circulation ability, good sealing, and a high filtering effect.

0.1㎡	0.5-3T	＜120℃	80-200 mesh	Internal matte
0.15㎡	1-5T			External polished mirror

Step 3: Preheating (Preheater)

The filtered milk enters the preheater directly through the milk pump and reaches 40 to 50 degrees Celsius in this machine. The machine has three layers, the outermost layer is the insulation layer, which is electrically heated. Before the start of preheating, first, check the water level of the preheater interlayer and reach the visible position of the water sight glass. Then turn on the electric control box (set the water temperature to 60 degrees Celsius, the milk temperature is 45 degrees Celsius), turn on the power switch, turn on the heating, and stir. After the milk temperature reaches 45 degrees, the alarm is completed, the warm-up is completed, and the heating is turned off.

Step 4: Homogenization (homogenization machine)

The milk homogenizer is also called the high-pressure homogenizer. Homogenization is the key to determining the quality and taste of the milk. The high-pressure homogenizer is mainly used for homogenization and emulsification of liquid materials with a viscosity lower than 0.2 Pa.s and a temperature lower than 80 °C. The working principle is that the processed material is sent to the homogeneous valve in the form of high pressure through the reciprocating motion of three plungers so that the material is subjected to the compound force at the moment of flowing through the tiny gap between the disc and the valve seat. The original rough milk is processed into a very fine, uniform and stable emulsion, the average emulsification fineness is less than 1um, and the average particle size of solid dispersion is less than 2um. Homogeneous milk fat globules become smaller, and fully dispersed in milk, not only can prevent fat adhesion and coagulation, but also more conducive to human absorption.

Step 5: Sterilization (sterilization tank)

In the yogurt production line. Sterilization is an effective means to extend the shelf life of fresh milk. Before sterilization, it is also necessary to ensure that the water level of the sterilizer is at the water level mirror. Set the sterilization temperature (usually 85 degrees Celsius). Turn on the sterilization heating button, the machine starts sterilization, stir, and the machine will automatically alarm when the sterilization temperature is reached.

Step 6: Pre-cooling / cooling, fermentation (fermentation machine)

After the sterilization is completed, the milk is pumped into the pre-cooling tank/refrigerating tank through the milk pump. The pre-cooling tank and the refrigerating tank are the same tanks, and the two processes are completed by different temperatures and cooling medium. The pre-cooling process uses cold water to pre-cool down. The cooling time is about 0.3-0.5 hours. Generally, the temperature can be lowered to below 45 °C to enter the freon-cooled compressor refrigeration tank. Otherwise, the quality of the milk and the service life of the equipment will be affected.

When the cooling is completed, the refrigerating tank has the function of fermentation at the same time. After adding the probiotics, the temperature was controlled at about 42 degrees Celsius, and the fermentation was carried out for 8 hours.
