The steam stretcher mod. FV 500 is a machine designed for the production of pasta filata cheeses using, as row materials, industrial curds, fresh curds and food ingredients. The row material to be transformed is directly introduced into a processing chamber (capacity ab. 260 lt) and it is subject to the combined action of two counter-rotating augers and six steam injectors. During this processing phase, dough starts to change its structure, passing from a coarse and discontinuous consistence to a fibrous and continuous one, typical of the pasta filata. Once the pasta has reached the desired features, it will be automatically discharged by the pushing of the augers. The machine is equipped with a double bottom with air double jacket, able to insulate the processing chamber, thus keeping pasta temperature always constant.
The types of cheese that can be obtained are:
mozzarella
pizza cheese
scamorze
provole
analog and imitation cheeses
