PROJECT DESCRIPTION
DLBA Company is established in Kurdistan Region IRAQ. In 2011 they established a subsidiary (DLBA Dairy), for producing and distributing dairy products in IRAQ.
In 2015 they assigned the construction of the Yogurt and Ayran product lines to AS Automation Hellas.
AS Hellas, having extensive know-how and experience in yogurt production lines, has undertaken the design, manufacture, delivery and commissioning of a fully automated yogurt and Ayran unit. A project that posed significant challenges in its implementation.


Turn-key project
Pre-fabricated units have been reassembled and put in operation for the turn-key yogurt project in Erbil, Kurdistan. Applied know-how has been used to construct and put in operation a special-feature mixing, pasteurization and ready to fill set yogurt and Ayran unit, achieving a high quality end product, using initially water and milk powder.
Edge automation ensured the combination of high safety and production output.Technical solutions
For out customized solutions we used the best value for money components from top suppliers like (among others):
