Key Benefits
- Dimple jacket with insulation holds fermentation temperature steady for hours
- Frame or propeller agitator, with scraper available where the product clings to the wall
- Anti-vortex plate keeps mixing effective rather than swirling the batch

- Volumes from 500 L to 30,000 L
Problems It Solves
- Fermentation temperature drifting and giving inconsistent set
- Product clinging to the tank wall and scorching
- pH sampling that risks contaminating the batch
- Vessels that cannot be cleaned in place after fermentation

Compared With The Alternatives
| Blending tank | A blending tank mixes and moves on; the fermentation tank has to hold a precise temperature for hours, which is why it is jacketed and insulated on three layers. |
|---|---|
| In pack fermentation | Fermenting in the pack gives set yoghurt directly; tank fermentation suits stirred yoghurt and gives more control over the process. |
Use Guide
- Feed the tank at the inoculation temperature from the yoghurt pasteuriser
- Monitor pH through the sample valve rather than opening the manway
- Specify a scraper where the product tends to bake onto the wall
- Cool through the jacket as soon as the target pH is reached
