	OTHER SOLUTIONS TOFU PRODUCTION Every thing you need to produce tofu ranging from small manual equipment to large continuous curding and forming system (patented) in all stainless steel and sanitary design. Tofu Boxes Made in knock down four piece configuration, these tofu boxes of proprietary design are available in two sizes: 8" x 12" and 12" x 18". Tofu can be pressed to any desired height up to 3". Tofu boxes have highly sanitary design - all stainless steel. Pressing Tables Made entirely in stainless steel, these tables are sanitary in design. A standard table has three pressing stations equipped with air presses. Air presses swivel around a stainless steel column for easy handling of tofu boxes under the presses. Height of each press is also adjustable to facilitate stacking of tofu boxes. Cooling Tanks Fabricated in stainless steel, these tanks have polished welds and rounded edges and corners to meet sanitary design standards. Water flow is such that maximum cooling is achieved with minimum water flow. The standard tanks size is 36" x 24" x 16". However, cooling tanks can be custom built in any size and capacity. ConTofu ConTofu is a patented tofu curding system suitable for producing a variety of tofu curds. It has a continuous curdling system that heats or cools soymilk continuously to the curdling temperature, injects the coagulant in the gently flowing soymilk through a holding tube, and then partially removes the whey. The curd is now ready to direct to the tofu forming boxes and pressed Tofu curd is produced in this sanitary stainless steel system untouched by human hand. Ask for our VCT system that integrate soymilk and tofu curd making in a single continuous set up starting from soybeans. Available in capacities ranging from processing 100 - 600 kg of dry soybeans per hour. Smaller and larger systems can also be built. SOY-YOGURT PRODUCTION From formulation and pasteurization of soymilk to mixing and incubating it with culture to packaging it, ProSoya has it all. Made with North American dairy sanitary standards, the equipment is available in all sizes. And ProSoya has a proprietary bacterial culture that makes great tasting soy-yogurt. Set Style Soy-Yogurt Systems In these systems the soymilk is first pasteurized and then cooled. ProSoya's proprietary culture and other ingredients are then added and well mixed. The cultured milk is then packed and sealed in appropriate containers. The containers are placed in an incubation chamber or room for 4 to 5 hours during which time the soy-yogurt sets in-situ. For "fruit at the bottom" type of product the desired fruits, duly processed, are placed in the bottom of the containers before filling in the cultured milk. After the setting time the containers are moved to a cold room. The equipment supplied for production of this type of soy-yogurt comprises a jacketed/insulated agitated tank of appropriate capacity. Two such vessels may be supplied for larger production facilities. The agitating and heating arrangements are designed so as to avoid protein burn-on and for intimate mixing of the culture. The filling/sealing and incubation facilities are not normally within the scope of supplies. Stirred and Drinkable Soy-Yogurt Systems The operation of these systems is similar to that of set style yogurt except that after mixing of the culture the agitation is stopped and the soymilk is allowed to set to yogurt in the vessel. After incubation is completed (8-10 hrs) the product is simultaneously cooled and stirred. After which it is withdrawn using a positive displacement pump and packaged. For drinkable yogurt the stirred yogurt is thinned to the required consistency by adding sterile water with agitation. Other ingredients may also be added at this stage. After packaging the soy-yogurt is stored in a cold room. The equipment for the production of this variety of yogurt is similar to that for the set-style yogurt except that the size and number of vessels required is larger and an additional chilled water tank and heat exchanger are needed. Soy-Yogurt Bacterial Culture This proprietary culture makes great tasting soy-yogurt and does not require the addition of sweetener for the curding process. If you have been repeatedly disappointed with the cultures for making soy-yogurt, you will be pleasantly surprised with ours.
