Tetra Pak® Cheese Vat OST CH6 is a horizontal vat for the production of curd especially for Cheddar, Pasta Filata and similar types of cheese. The vat has all required unctions for a controlled and predictable process, including filling of cheese milk,mixing of ingredients, coagulation of milk, cutting of coagulum, blending, whey discharge, water addition, indirect heating and cooling, emptying and CIP (Cleaning in Place). Using warmwater in a dimple jacket to heat the product allows the operator to have more control on the heating speed and temperature.
Proven equipment, built on over 40 years of expertise
• Ideal for volume production thanks to best-in-class efficiency, accuracy and reliability
• Patented knife design and gentle heating process help keep product losses in check
• Designed for easy access to seals (without removing the drive unit) enabling quick, safe maintenance
Features
Increases performance and reliability
The horizontal shaft design maximizes the first whey discharge and prevents lumps from forming after whey discharge. It gives a highly reliable, repeatable result, making this unit ideal for volume producers of several similar cheese types, for whom efficiency is key.
Reduces mechanical stress and increases hygiene
The knives are only welded at one end of the knife frame, which gives the system a degree of elasticity, and reduces the risk of bending or breaking. This enables a longer lifetime, as well as increased repeatability. Furthermore, our unique design has been shown to reduce losses of fats and fines, and to inhibit the build-up of curd during production, thus enhancing hygiene.
