Yogurt fermentation tank in stainless steel with conical cover and adjustable supporting legs

Yogurt Fermentation Tank

A vertical fermentation tank for making yogurt, combining mechanical blending with the fermentation hold. The vessel is a three layer tank with insulation and a dimple jacket so fermentation temperature is held through the cycle. The agitator is a frame or propeller type and can be customised with a scraper. Standard fittings include a conical cover, manway, air ventilation cap, CIP cleaning ball, digital display thermometer, high and low liquid level sensors, sample valve, draw bar valve, anti vortex plate, sight glass, lifting ears and four adjustable supporting legs. Volumes run from 500L to 30,000L, customised, in SUS304 or SUS316L.

Specifications are configured per project. Send your drawing, capacity or duty requirement and the build will be confirmed in writing with the quotation.
Why It Works

Key Benefits

Insulated dimple jacket construction holds fermentation temperature through the whole cycle so culture activity stays predictable

Aseptic sample valve lets the batch be checked during fermentation without opening the tank

Anti vortex plate keeps the agitator from drawing air into the batch during blending

Scraper option keeps product moving at the wall where a viscous yogurt batch would otherwise stagnate

High and low liquid level sensors protect the agitator and prevent overfilling on transfer

Problems

Problems It Solves

Fermentation temperature drifting during the hold makes batch time and texture unpredictable

Opening a tank to sample a fermenting batch risks contaminating it

Agitation that draws in air affects yogurt texture and shelf life

Viscous batches stagnate at the tank wall without a scraper so heat transfer falls away

Comparison

How It Compares

Blending tank

A blending tank mixes a recipe while this tank holds the batch at fermentation temperature through the culture cycle

High shear tank

The shear tank applies intensive mixing while this tank blends gently and holds temperature

Yogurt pasteurizer

The pasteurizer heat treats the mix and delivers it at inoculation temperature while this tank carries out the fermentation itself

FAQ

Yogurt Fermentation Tank FAQ

What volumes are available

From 500L to 30,000L, customised to your batch size and daily output.

Which agitator should I choose

Frame and propeller agitators are available and a scraper can be customised, which is normally specified for more viscous yogurt products.

How is fermentation temperature held

The tank is a vertical three layer build with insulation and a dimple jacket, with a digital display thermometer for monitoring.

Can we sample during fermentation

Yes. A sample valve is part of the standard fitting list so the batch can be checked without opening the tank.

How is the tank cleaned

A CIP cleaning ball is fitted as standard and a manway is provided for inspection.

What is the lead time

It depends on volume, agitator selection and grade and is confirmed in writing with the quotation.
