Frequently asked questions

Do you build machines to individual dimensions?

Yes. Besides standard products we carry out individual projects for non-standard constructions, matched to your requirements for size and shape. Milk cooling tanks, cheese vats, tanks and stainless furniture are also built to the customer’s dimensions.

What can I produce with your systems?

Cheese, kashkaval (yellow cheese), yoghurt, fresh milk, ayran and curd cheese. Depending on the product we combine a pasteurizer or cheese maker, an ice water unit, a cheese vat and a kashkaval unit.

Milk-processing systems range from 100 to 1000 litres, milk cooling tanks from 200 to 1000 litres, and tanks go up to 30 000 litres. The exact models and dimensions are in the tables on each product page.

Can I start with a small dairy and expand it later?

Yes. Additional equipment extends the technological capabilities of the plant and can be delivered in stages. Container mini dairies are delivered as modules, depending on the quantity and types of the end product.

What is needed to install a container mini dairy?

A solid base (a concrete slab at least 15 cm thick), electricity and water. The containers are sized entirely for transport.

Do you provide installation, training and service?

Yes. We provide professional installation, staff training and a fast response when you need technical support, plus warranty and post-warranty service.
