What is the VS 200 Continuous System?
The VS 200 Continuous System is a type of soy milk processing equipment. Soy milk processing equipment is a way to produce a large amount of soy milk more efficiently than other processors. These machines work by soaking, cooking, grinding, and straining soy beans.
Who makes the VS 200C?
ProSoya Inc. is a company that produces soy products including soy milk, soy cheese, soy yogurt, as well as soy milk processing equipment and packaging. ProSoya Inc. is located in Ottawa, Ontario. ProSoya provides advance technologies for small operating farmers or for large commercial processing plants (ProSoya, 2014). This company produces a special machine called the VS 200 Continuous System.
How does the VS 200C work?
The VS 200C is a machine that is quite easy to install, operate, and maintain. This machine produces approximately 200-250 L of soy milk base an hour (ProSoya, 2014).
Any quality of soybeans can be used in this machine to make a delicious product. The only requirement to make this machine work is an electrical source (to power the machine), water (to mix with the soybeans to make the base), and soybeans (the most important ingredient). Soybeans are added to the top of the VS 200C, where the water is added. The beans are then steamed and ground in pipes throughout the equipment. The water mixes with the soybeans to produce the very rich soy milk base. After everything is mixed, the by-product okara is strained out of the mixture. The final desired product is then produced.

Nutritional facts
The soy milk base as well as the okara that is produced from this machine is very nutritious. Soy milk is a very nutritious beverage because of the main ingredient (soybeans) that is put into it. Soybeans are packed with a large number of vitamins, carbohydrates, unsaturated fats, and protein (Government of Canada, 2011). Soybeans are one of the only plants that contain all eight amino acids that are important for good human health (Soy 20/20, 2005). On top of all the nutritious qualities soybeans have, they contain no cholesterol (Government of Canada, 2011).
Okara is a good source of fibre and protein for not only humans, but animals too (ProSoya, 2014). This residue contains a lot of carbohydrates and a small amount of oil from the soybeans (Soy 20/20, 2005). Okara can be used as animal feed for dairy and swine.
