GRANULAR AND SPREADABLE FRESH CHEESE PRODUCTION LINE

The line for the production of granular and spreadable fresh cheese
includes the following devices

Vertical or horizontal coagulation vats

Stirrer with a drive of a special design, providing gentle mixing of the curd without spraying the protein
Manhole with inductive opening sensor – possibility of partial whey draining
Heating jacket, covered with insulation and a protective jacket, is mounted on the vat’s jacket
Heating system. The special design of the stirrer and heating system provide even temperature distribution in the vat
Possibility of cooling the curd mass
Temperature measurement in various parts of the vat
Cleaned in the CIP system

Plate whey cooler

Enables cooling of the whey subsequently used to cool the cheese curd in the vat (whey recycled to the vat in the technological process)
Serves to cool the whey before the storage
After draining of the whey from the vat, it is fed to the plate cooler and into the buffer tank. With the help of the pump it is returned to the vat or directed to the storage tank

Tubular curd cooler

The cheese curd with the whey is directed to the cooler where it is cooled to a certain temperature. The cooled curd is transported to the whey draining belt
Built on the principle of „pipe in a pipe” provides effective cooling of the curd
The purpose of cooling is to retain the right amount of water inside the curd and to prevent grain from binding during whey draining

Whey draining belt

A special solution of the curd feeding system onto the belt ensures an even layer of curd placed between the drum and the draining belt
Automatic pressure control system provides even draining of the whey from the curd
Properly fitted clamping force does not change the structure of the curd
Placing the whey draining belt rotatably on the leg increases its functionality and enables feeding the product to several devices
Separation of the curd at the outlet of the draining belt gives the opportunity to increase the range of products (granular, spreadable fresh cheese with or without additives)

Curd buffer tank

Insulated tank, with stirrer and cooling jacket, made of stainless steel
The tank is installed between the whey draining belt and the packaging machine
The task of the tank is buffering the curd before milling and feeding the product to the packaging machine, mixing the curd with additives

Scraped surface heat exchanger

The device is intended for cooling the product (spreadable fresh cheese) with ice water
The device is divided into three sections: product, ice water and thermal insulation
It is built of a bearing shaft, on which the scrapers are mounted. They aim to collect the cooled product, mix it with the remaining product in the section and ensure a homogeneous heat flow in the product
