Cheddar cheese production machine 5

automatic

The Tetra Pak® Cheddaring 5 machine is designed for continuous production of fused and stirred Cheddar and pasta filata cheese types. It is a totally enclosed machine, designed to automatically drain, acidify, texture, mill, salt and mellow cheese curd.   Advantages: • Totally closed environment • Drainage, fusing/stirring and salting in one machine • Efficient whey drainage system • Plastic USDA approved conveyor • Flexibility of cheese types • Space saving • Complete sweet and salt whey separation with unique whey sump design • Most accurate salting system   Capacity ranges from 1,000 – 16,000 kg/hr.​ High-capacity, consistent cheddar production • Every detail of the design - from inlet screen to mellowing - is optimized to give a consistent end product • Smart features such as the perforated draining belt and whey screen design ensure a high yield with minimal curd losses • Hygiene is secured by e.g. pyramid shaped sumps and strategically located cleaning devices Features Effective whey drainage There are 9 litres of whey for every litre of curd. Made of stainless steel wedge wire, the inlet screen has gaps of just 0.25 mm between each wedge. This means a high proportion of the liquid can drain through the holes, but very few curd particles pass through. Catches the curd particles, maximizing yield Any rogue curd particles that have not been caught by the first inlet screen, are caught in this, the second whey screen. All the whey that passes through the screen is immediately collected before it has had time to accumulate bacteria – so it can be categorized as ‘high-quality whey’.
