GADAN BRINING TRAYS The brining trays are made of food/approved green APS plastic. They are designed for stacking with max. 8 trays high. The brining is done by circulation of brine – as shown on the below sketch. App 20 ltr/min are led into the tray. Half of this flows into the tray below, through the holes in the bottom. The other half flows through the splits in the sides of the trays and into the tray below. In the same way the brine flows from tray to tray, and finally from the bottom tray into the gutters. In this way a steady flow is achieved, which results in a very effective brining of the cheeses. A stack of trays includes the following: • Top trays The top trays are designed for keeping the cheeses in the upper tray under brine, and it functions as well as an inlet tray for brine. • Cheese nets Made of food approved plastics. The cheese nets are placed upon the cheeses in the brining trays for securing brining and moisturizing of the surface of the cheeses. • Perforated plates These are placed in the trays for support of the cheeses. • Bottom trays From the bottom tray the brine is led into the gutters. Supports for trays On which the trays are stacked. The supports are made of stainless steel.
