Brining vats for pasta filata cheese
Ensuring the right amount of salt in pasta filata cheeses during the final cooling stage is crucial for flavor and preservation. The process requires precise control to achieve consistent quality and meet production demands.
Automate cheese brining with modular vats
The GEA brining vats offer a modular system for adding salt to pasta filata cheeses efficiently. Constructed from AISI 316 stainless steel, these vats are customizable to the type, size, and hourly throughput of your cheese production. Cheeses are transferred into the vat by a conveyor, then through the brine solution by adjustable water sprayers. The products are moved forward using an electrically motor-driven cruising system and removed by a motorized belt with modular plastic elements. For setups on two levels, a pneumatic lifting system is used for moving products between levels. The vats are designed for optimum hygiene and easy cleaning, featuring pipework and rotary washing turbines for connection to external cleaning-in-place plants. Additionally, a centrifugal pump recycles cooling brine water to a plate heat exchanger for recirculation and recovers cleaning solutions after a cleaning cycle. Mechanical and electromechanical protections ensure operator safety.
