The milk pasteurizer build journey, step by step
These are the same stages as our project planner (Plan → Design → Quote → Deliver → Operate). The photos are from real milk pasteurizer projects. This is an overview; detailed build methods are taught in our paid assembly and manufacturing training.
Plan: tell us what you will sell
What you sell or treat, how many litres a day, where, power and budget. You can do this yourself in the project planner.
Design: we size the machine
Tank, pumps or treatment stages, controls and layout, sized to your volume and site, with easy cleaning and service in mind.
Quote: everything in writing
Your quotation states the model, materials (including the steel grade), branding, delivery, installation and warranty terms.
Build: fabrication in Ruiru
The stainless body is rolled and welded, the jacket and outlet valve are fitted, then the stirrer motor, heating element and control box.

Cabinets are finished and branded with your business name and colours when ordered.
Test: before it leaves the workshop
Heating, temperature control, stirring, the outlet valve and leaks are checked before delivery.
Deliver and install
We deliver and install across Kenya, and in Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda; other countries on request.

What goes into an H-TECH milk pasteurizer
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Jacketed stainless vat | Holds the milk; the jacket around it carries the heat evenly (50 to 500 litres depending on the model) |
| Heat source | Electric heating elements or gas, depending on the model you order (an immersion element is pictured) |
| Stirrer and motor | Keeps the milk moving so it heats evenly and does not burn on the wall |
| Control box | Heating and stirrer switches and temperature control (pictured) |
| Outlet valve | Drains the pasteurized milk into cans, a cooler or a packing line |
| Lid and frame | Stainless lid and legs for hygiene and easy cleaning |
Choices you make before we build
- Batch size: the litres you process per batch; models run from 50 to 500 litres.
- Heating: electric or gas, chosen for your power supply and running costs.
- Cooling: how you will cool the milk to about 4 °C straight after: a milk chiller or cooling tank.
- Products: fresh milk, mala or yoghurt change the process; see the mini dairy plant guide.
- Licences: processors are licensed by the Kenya Dairy Board; see the KDB licence guide.
