High Speed Yogurt Cup Filling Machine for Dairy Production

Product introduction of Yogurt Cup Filling Machine

This yogurt cup filling machine is engineered for producers requiring flexible filling volumes, automated control, and dependable packaging performance. Operating at approximately 700–900 cups per hour, it accommodates filling quantities from 100 to 2,000 ml, allowing one system to serve multiple product and package formats. A large 200 L hopper provides a stable product supply and helps reduce frequent replenishment during production.
PLC automatic control coordinates machine operation and simplifies parameter management, while a working air pressure of 0.6–0.8 MPa supports pneumatic functions throughout the filling process. The machine combines heat sealing with mechanical sealing to provide reliable package closure for compatible containers.
Beyond yogurt cups, the equipment can be adjusted for selected bottles and bags, expanding its use across dairy and food packaging operations. Its compact footprint, customizable electrical configuration, and broad filling range make it especially useful for manufacturers producing multiple package sizes or frequently changing production requirements.

Suitable for Multiple Yogurt Package Sizes

The 100–2,000 ml filling range makes the machine useful for manufacturers offering yogurt in several formats rather than a single retail cup size.
Possible package formats include:
Individual Serving → Family Pack → Food-Service Pack → Larger Commercial Container
This provides manufacturers with greater flexibility when developing different product ranges for retail, catering, and commercial customers.

Product Supply and Dosing Control

Consistent product feeding is important when packaging yogurt because viscosity can influence dosing behavior. The large hopper supplies product to the filling section, while the dosing configuration can be selected according to the required filling quantity and product characteristics.
For thicker yogurt or formulations containing fruit preparations, the viscosity, particle size, and ingredient concentration should be confirmed before selecting the filling components.

Pneumatic Operating System

A compressed-air supply of approximately 0.6–0.8 MPa supports the machine’s pneumatic working components.
Stable compressed air helps maintain repeatable mechanical movements during production. An appropriately sized air compressor and suitable air treatment should therefore be considered when planning installation.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

1. Flexible 100–2,000 ml Filling Range
The adjustable filling system supports volumes from 100 to 2,000 ml, allowing manufacturers to handle individual yogurt portions, family packs, and larger food-service packages with one machine.
2. Stable 700–900 Cups per Hour Output
Designed for consistent production, the machine achieves approximately 700–900 cups per hour, providing a practical balance between packaging efficiency, filling control, and operational flexibility.
3. PLC Automatic Control System
The integrated PLC control system coordinates filling and packaging operations, simplifies parameter adjustment, and helps maintain repeatable performance during continuous production.
4. Large 200 L Product Hopper
A 200 L feeding hopper provides sufficient product storage for extended filling cycles, reducing frequent replenishment and supporting a more stable supply of yogurt to the dosing system.
5. Multi-Format Container Compatibility
Beyond conventional yogurt cups, the machine can be adapted for cups, bottles, bags, and other compatible containers, making it suitable for manufacturers with diverse packaging requirements.
6. Reliable Heat and Mechanical Sealing
The combination of heat sealing and mechanical sealing provides dependable package closure. Sealing conditions can be configured according to the container and packaging material.
7. Adaptable to Different Product Consistencies
The filling configuration can be selected according to product viscosity, filling temperature, particle content, and portion size, making the machine suitable for yogurt as well as compatible sauces, dairy desserts, and semi-liquid foods.
8. Compact and Customizable Configuration
With dimensions of approximately 1000 × 1000 × 1650 mm, the machine offers substantial filling flexibility within a compact footprint. Electrical supply and selected functional components can also be customized to suit different production requirements.

Suitable Products

The filling configuration can be adapted for compatible products with different flow characteristics, including:

• Plain yogurt
• Flavored yogurt
• Stirred yogurt
• Greek-style yogurt
• Fermented dairy product
• Dairy dessert
• Ketchup
• Pepper sauce
• Fruit sauce
• Pulp beverage
• Other compatible liquid or semi-liquid food

Products containing pulp, fruit pieces, or granules should be evaluated according to their maximum particle size before the filling system is finalized.

From Processing to Final Packaging

In a complete yogurt production facility, the machine can be positioned after product preparation and before refrigerated storage or secondary packaging.
A typical workflow can be arranged as:
Milk Preparation → Homogenization → Pasteurization → Fermentation → Cooling → Flavor Blending → Product Feeding → Filling → Sealing → Finished Product Handling
The exact process varies depending on whether the manufacturer produces set yogurt, stirred yogurt, fruit yogurt, or other fermented dairy products.

Multi-Format Production Flexibility

The combination of 100–2,000 ml filling adjustment, multiple container compatibility, customizable electrical configuration, and PLC control makes this machine suitable for production environments where product formats change regularly.
This can be especially useful for contract packers, diversified dairy processors, and manufacturers serving both retail and food-service markets.

Applications

1. Multi-Size Yogurt Cup Production
Suitable for manufacturers producing yogurt in different portion sizes, from small retail cups to larger family and food-service packages within the 100–2,000 ml filling range.
2. Flavored and Fruit Yogurt Filling
The filling system can be configured for flavored yogurt and suitable fruit-containing formulations according to product viscosity, particle size, and ingredient concentration.
3. Greek-Style and Thick Yogurt Packaging
For thicker dairy products, the dosing configuration can be adapted to support controlled product transfer and consistent filling into compatible containers.
4. Dairy Dessert Packaging
Suitable for pudding, custard, cream-based desserts, fermented dairy products, and other semi-liquid foods requiring controlled portion filling and secure packaging.
5. Sauce and Fruit Product Filling
The machine can also be configured for ketchup, pepper sauce, fruit sauce, fruit preparations, and compatible pulp-based products beyond conventional dairy applications.
6. Retail and Food-Service Packaging
With filling volumes reaching 2,000 ml, the equipment can support both consumer-sized packages and larger formats intended for restaurants, catering operations, and institutional food service.
7. Multi-Format Food Packaging
Adjustable container handling makes the system suitable for compatible cups, bottles, and bags, providing greater flexibility for facilities producing multiple packaged food products.

FAQ

1. What filling volumes can the machine handle?
