Product Description

Soy milk production cost  soybean milk production plant equipment

A brief description of the production cost of soy milk. As a healthy and popular drink, the production cost of soy milk mainly consists of the following aspects:

1. Raw material cost
•Soybeans: As the main raw material of soy milk, the price fluctuation of soybeans directly affects the cost of the final product. Prices vary for different varieties of soybeans, with high-quality non-GMO soybeans generally costing more.
•Water: The amount of water used in soaking and refining processes is large, but relatively low compared to other cost items.
•Additives (optional): The cost of seasonings such as sugar, flavors, and food additives such as stabilizers and preservatives.
2. Processing equipment and maintenance costs
•Production equipment: including but not limited to cleaning machines, soaking tanks, refiners, filtering devices, pulp cooking pots, filling machines, etc. These equipment require a large one-time investment and require regular maintenance and repairs to ensure normal operation.
•Energy consumption: The electricity bill generated when the electrically driven mechanical equipment is running, especially the heating and cooking stage, has high energy consumption; in addition, there are also fuel costs required for the steam generator, etc.
3. Labor costs
•Direct labor: wages and benefits paid to employees for the manual operations involved in the entire production process from raw material processing to finished product packaging.
•Indirect labor: The salaries of management, quality inspectors, marketing teams and other related support department personnel will also be included in the total cost.
4. Packaging material fees
•Packaging containers: The choice of plastic bottles, cartons or other types of packaging not only affects brand image but is also related to convenience and environmental protection in actual use. It is also an important cost factor.
•Label printing: The cost incurred by printing customized brand logos, nutrition facts tables and other information on packaging in order to meet market sales needs.
5. Logistics and transportation costs
•Raw material procurement and transportation: Freight costs incurred in transporting soybeans and other auxiliary materials from suppliers to factory warehouses.
•Product distribution: the cost of distributing the produced soy milk to various sales channel terminals through cold chain or normal temperature methods.
6. Quality testing and certification costs
•Laboratory testing: In order to ensure product quality and safety, each batch of products needs to undergo strict quality inspection, which includes testing costs for microbial indicators, heavy metal content, pesticide residues, etc.
•Certification fees: Application fees and annual review fees required to obtain relevant food safety management system certifications (such as ISO 22000, HACCP), green food labels, etc.
7. Factory rent and depreciation
•Leasing costs: If the production workshop is rented rather than built by itself, the rental expenses in the site rental contract need to be considered.
•Asset depreciation: For self-owned properties and fixed assets, the depreciation amount calculated in accordance with accounting standards will also be amortized into the unit product cost.
8. Marketing and advertising expenses
•Promotional activities: additional expenses incurred by organizing online and offline promotional activities, participating in exhibitions, sponsoring sports events and other activities.
•Advertising: Funds invested in brand promotion using various media such as television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and online platforms.

To sum up, the production cost of soy milk is determined by many factors. Enterprises need to comprehensively consider the cost control strategies of each link to optimize production and operational efficiency to achieve profitability goals.

The production of soy milk involves several key technological points to ensure the quality, safety, and taste of the final product. 

Here's an overview of the main steps and considerations in a soy milk production line:

1. Soybean Selection and Pre-treatment: Start with high-quality, clean soybeans free from impurities. Proper sorting and cleaning are crucial to remove any foreign materials. Soybeans are then soaked in water to soften them, which facilitates the grinding process and enhances nutrient extraction. The soaking time and temperature are important factors to control for optimal results.

2. Grinding and Blending: After soaking, the soybeans are ground into a fine paste. This can be done using wet grinding or dry grinding methods, with wet grinding being more common for commercial production as it yields a smoother texture. The grinding process should be thorough to break down cell walls and release proteins and other nutrients.

3. Heating and Cooking: The soybean paste is then heated to denature enzymes, improve flavor, and enhance protein solubility. This step, known as "deactivation," is crucial for the removal of beany flavor and to ensure food safety by destroying anti-nutritional factors. Temperature and time of heating must be carefully controlled to avoid overcooking, which can lead to a burnt taste or reduced nutritional value.

4. Separation and Filtration: Once cooked, the mixture undergoes separation to remove okara (soy pulp) from the liquid. This can be achieved through various filtration methods such as centrifugation, pressure filtration, or vacuum filtration. The quality of filtration affects the clarity and texture of the final soy milk.

5. Homogenization and Standardization: Homogenization ensures uniform particle size distribution, preventing separation and improving mouthfeel. Standardization adjusts the fat content, solids content, and consistency to meet product specifications, ensuring consistent quality across batches.

6. Sterilization and Cooling: To extend shelf life and ensure microbiological safety, the soy milk is typically sterilized using Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) treatment or other forms of pasteurization. It is then rapidly cooled to prevent over-processing and maintain quality.

7. Packaging: After cooling, the soy milk is packaged into sterile containers, often under aseptic conditions, to maintain sterility until opening. Packaging material selection (e.g., Tetra Pak, glass bottles, or plastic bottles) influences shelf life and product presentation.

8. Quality Control and Testing: Throughout the production process, quality control measures are implemented to monitor parameters such as pH, bacterial counts, viscosity, and sensory properties. Regular testing ensures compliance with food safety standards and maintains product consistency.

9. Environmental Sustainability: Modern soy milk production lines also emphasize sustainability practices, including efficient use of water and energy, waste reduction , and sourcing soybeans from sustainable agriculture practices.
