Ice cream production plant is the same as other dairy processing plant.We can provide the turnkey solution for the project of ice cream production line and the ice cream maker machine is suitable for dairy factory and industrial research.Clients can add other materials to increase the richness of products, according to the different forms of packaging, configuration will be determined according to individual demand.

* Reception and storage of raw materials:
Dry products used in comparatively small quantities, such as whey powder, stabilisers and emulsifiers, cocoa powder, etc., are usually delivered in bags. Sugar and milk powder can be delivered in containers. Liquid products such as milk, cream, condensed milk, liquid glucose and vegetable fats are delivered by tankers.

* Formulation:
The ingredients used in ice cream production are: fat,milk solids-non-fat (MSNF),sugar/non-sugar sweetener,emulsifiers/stabilisers,flavouring agents,colouring agents.

* Homogenisation and pasteurisation:
The ice cream mix flows through a filter to a balance tank and is pumped from there to a plate heat exchanger where it is preheated to 73 – 75^oC for homogenisation at 140 – 200 bar, the mix is pasteurised at 83 – 85^oC for about 15 seconds then cooled down to 5^oC and transferred to an ageing tank.

*Ageing
The mix must be aged for at least 4 hours at a temperature between 2 to 5^oC with continuous gentle agitation. Ageing allows time for the stabiliser to take effect and the fat to crystallise.

* Continuous freezing:
• to whip a controlled amount of air into the mix;
• to freeze the water content in the mix to a large number of small ice crystals.
* Filling in cups, cones and containers;
* Extrusion of sticks and stickless products;
* Moulding of bars
* Wrapping and packaging
* Hardening and cold storage
