SHRIKHAND & MISHTI DAHI FERMENTATION TANK
A shrikhand & mishti dahi fermentation tank sets the culture, acidity and body that define both strained shrikhand and sweet set mishti dahi. At ATMAN Group, we don’t just sell you the tank; we engineer it into a complete, balanced cultured-dairy line and commission it on your floor. As a single-window turnkey dairy plant executor since 2008 — with AMUL-trained engineering leadership behind us — we size, supply, install and validate the fermentation stage as part of the whole process, not as a standalone box.
What a Fermentation Tank Does
Pasteurised, standardised milk is inoculated with culture and held at controlled temperature to set into curd (dahi). For shrikhand, the set curd feeds chakka separation; for mishti dahi, sweetened milk is cultured and set directly in the tank or in-cup. The tank governs three commercial outcomes: acidity development (which drives clean flavour and shelf-life), body and set (which drive texture), and batch uniformity (which protects your brand).
Types We Engineer
- Jacketed incubation tanks with precise temperature control — consistent, food-safe fermentation.
- Insulated set-curd tanks — for uniform dahi across batches.
- Batch and continuous culture systems — matched to your throughput.
- Integrated culture-and-chill skids — fast, controlled cool-down after set.
All contact parts are hygienic SS-304 stainless steel, built to FSSAI and 3-A sanitary practice, with CIP-compatible design so cleaning is validated, not guessed.
Capacity & Output
We match tank capacity to your target daily output — from compact units for regional sweet brands and FPOs, through mid-range systems, to multi-tank trains for cooperative and branded scale. Because we design the full line, the tank is sized in balance with your chakka, blending and filling stages — so no stage becomes a bottleneck.
Where the Fermentation Tank Fits in Your Line
This is what separates a machine seller from a turnkey executor. ATMAN engineers the complete flow — reception, standardization, pasteurization, culturing and set, chakka separation and blending (shrikhand) or sweetening and cup-set (mishti dahi), chilling and filling — as one integrated, CIP-linked system with matched capacities and synchronized batch tracking. One accountable partner for the whole line.
Why Buy from a Turnkey Executor, Not Just a Machine Supplier
- Consistency-first engineering — culture temperature and set tuned to your milk and recipe, not a generic spec sheet.
- Single-window accountability — design → supply → installation → commissioning → after-sales under one contract.
- Proven at scale — delivered within larger turnkey dairy projects for cooperative federations and NDDB-commissioned builds.
- Compliance-ready — FSSAI, BIS-rated electricals, food-grade materials, statutory audits pass first time.
- ISO 9001:2015 certified quality processes with documented, traceable specs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can one tank serve both shrikhand and mishti dahi?
Yes — the same controlled fermentation sets curd for shrikhand and sweet set for mishti dahi; the lines differ downstream at chakka/blending vs cup-set.
How does the tank affect quality?
Temperature and time control acidity and body — the levers of flavour, texture and shelf-life. We tune the set to your recipe.
Can you match it to my existing line?
Yes. We balance the fermentation stage to your downstream chakka, blending and filling capacity.
