Processing, packaging, and extending the shelf life of ambient, shelf-stable, and refrigerated dairy products

JBT, Dairy Done Right

Dairy processing is a diverse and particular endeavor. Each product – and there are oh so many of them! – requires just the right preparation. This holds true whether you craft the smelliest of cheeses or the frothiest of milks.

Accomplishing the highest level of product perfection means you need the proper solutions organized in the correct way. Not to worry. JBT’s broad collection of dairy processing equipment is a perfect match for whatever manufacturing your food requires.

You’ll find machinery for filling, closing, and in-container sterilizing dairy products of every kind. Plus, JBT’s equipment for dairy processing lines can accommodate a variety of packaging – such as pouches, bottles, cartons, or cans. All in all, you’ll find solutions for products like:

  • Fresh or ESL (Extended Shelf Life) milk
  • UHT milk
  • Concentrated milk
  • Cream or dairy-based nutraceuticals
  • Retort processing of milk

JBT processing equipment leverages advanced technology. This locks in the taste and nutrition your consumers demand of their dairy products. It also ensures the product safety customers need.
