One of the hottest trends in the dairy industry is yogurt, Greek yogurt in particular. Marketing generally promotes the health and digestive benefits yogurt introduces to a consumer’s diet.

Statco-DSI has spent thousands of man hours expanding yogurt processing facilities from the industry’s largest national and international brands to smaller regional processing facilities.

Cheese manufacturing is a natural extension of our history in milk processing. We understand that making cheese is a specialized craft and we pay particular attention to what you want to see in your process and product.

Whether your specialty is Asiago, Blue or Cheddar cheese, you can rely on Statco-DSI’s fundamental understanding of your processing needs.

In the past, whey, a byproduct of cheese production, was considered to have little value and was generally either disposed of or fed back to cattle. Today, whey protein is an important food additive ingredient and whey protein isolates are essentials in sports drinks as well as protein bars and shakes.

Whey fractionation which yields high value lactoferrin and other protein isolates has become the new standard for cheese processors. Statco-DSI designs and integrates high efficiency, thermal-balanced systems for concentrating raw whey into high dollar saleable items.

Liquid coffee creamers come in an ever increasing assortment of popular flavors in both refrigerated and shelf stable product lines.
