The Tetra Pak® Mould Handling system is an advanced solution used for pressing and forming of semi-hard and hard cheeses in closed presses with complete mould and lid handling. ​   Working principle The curd blocks, leaving the draining forming equipment, are collected in a mould. After the mould is covered with a lid by the lid placer the moulds are conveyed to the final pressing section in closed execution where the curd block is pressed to shape the cheese, and to form a uniform rind around the cheese by a gradually increasing pressing force. Downstream in the final pressing section the cheeses are de-moulded in the de-moulding line and conveyed to a brining system.  The moulds and lids are turned upside down before they are cleaned by the rinsing machine and are ready to be re-used again.   The Tetra Pak Mould Handling system is PLC controlled. The closed final presses are cleaned in place.    Highlights • Hygienic design  • Fully automated and controlled production process  • Flexibility to press cheeses of different shapes and sizes on the same equipment ​   Capacity: Up to 100 tonnes/day   Applications: Semi-hard cheese Speed and flexibility • Flexibility to press cheeses of different shapes and sizes on the same equipment • Hygienic production environment - consistently high-quality product • Maximum uptime, thanks to shorter cleaning cycles Features Easy switch Flexible Mould Handling systems are available if you want to produce cheeses of different shapes.
