A Nigerian dairy startup has ordered a 300-liter yogurt production line to increase the added value of its fresh milk products and establish a local brand. This industrial yogurt maker helps him solve many problems when starting the yogurt business.
Why is making yogurt profitable in Nigeria?
Nigeria is one of Africa’s largest consumer countries, so yogurt and fermented dairy products are experiencing rapid growth among urban and middle-class consumers.
Market research shows rising demand for local and beverage-grade yogurt, with a significant increase in demand for standardized yogurt from retailers and modern supermarkets, and convenience stores.
For small and medium-sized factories, launching a 300L-level small-batch automated production line not only enables rapid formula testing and flexible production across multiple product categories to meet local retail needs but also ensures investment stability and supports long-term brand development.
Local challenges and solutions
Our customer is an entrepreneur who operates a fresh milk business and does small-scale processing. They plan to further process a portion of their existing raw milk into high-value-added yogurt products for distribution in cities, convenience stores, and restaurants.
However, problems such as unstable local milk supply, weak cold chain, lack of experience in machine selection and import, and even the need for technical training and trial production support once became obstacles to his starting his own business.
Finally, after our sales staff understood the customers’ actual needs, she introduced the 300L yogurt production line to address issues with yogurt production and storage.
Instructions for the ordered 300L industrial yogurt maker
A complete 300L small-batch yogurt production line includes the following machines:
- Pasteurizer continuously heats the milk to meet dairy hygiene requirements and produces stable raw materials for subsequent fermentation.
- Homogenizer improves the taste and stability of milk or yogurt, prevents fat separation, and makes the yogurt smoother.
- A cooling system is typically installed after pasteurization for rapid cooling to inoculation temperature or for refrigerated storage of the finished product to extend shelf life.
- Taizy fermentation tanks feature precise temperature control, automatic stirring, and pH/time control, and are compatible with different strains and flavor formulations.
