i think we need to keep looking for the photo.... i want to see some computer equipment attached to something!
In the USA, sour milk products are computerized:
From silos, the milk is piped to the processing. In the processing area the milk is separated to the proper level of butterfat. In the case of flavored milks like chocolate, the flavors are blended with the milk at this point. Fluid milk products are then homogenized, pasteurized and fortified with vitamins. Next, the product is piped into pasteurized tanks from which it is sent to any one of seven filling machines in the packaging area. Cultured products like buttermilk or sour cream are standardized to the proper fat level, and then sent to a cultured tank where they are held until the culturing process is complete. After completion of the culturing process, the product is sent to another filler in the packaging area.
The packaging area is where you can see it come together. Eight packaging machines may all be filling products at the same time. A computer system directs the products through a network of valves and stainless steel pipes so that each product gets to the proper filler at the right time. Each packaging machine fills a different size or style package. One filler produces the traditional 4oz/8oz paper packages that are found in schools. There are additional fillers for 10 oz, pint, quart, half gallon and gallon packages, these sizes are all plastic bottles. Another filler produces products filled in either 10 quart or 20 quart bags. The final filler is a cup filler that produces cultured items like sour cream.
My guess though is she is buying a smaller unit maybe similar to the South African Central Milk company who provides milk machines to various African farmers/markets. From their opening page: "In Botswana we’ve supplied a yoghurt and sour milk factory".They mention selling sour milk cooling tanks.
