Brining vats for pasta filata cheese
Enhance your cheese production with modular brining vats, designed for precise salt addition and cooling, ensuring optimal flavor and texture for pasta filata cheeses.
Brines and Cools Pasta Filata Cheeses
The modular brining vats from GEA offer an innovative solution designed to enhance your cheese production line. Constructed from AISI 316 stainless steel, these vats are engineered for both durability and hygiene. They feature a conveyor system that transfers cheeses through the brine, supported by adjustable water sprayers for optimal salt distribution and cooling. This setup allows for continuous, high-capacity processing of mozzarella, provolone, and other pasta filata cheeses. The system’s automation is driven by an electrical motor-driven cruising mechanism, ensuring seamless integration into your existing line with options for single or multi-level configurations. Additionally, the vats are equipped with a centrifugal pump that simultaneously recycles cooling brine and recovers cleaning solutions, supported by rotary washing turbines for easy cleaning. Each configuration is customized to match your production rate and cheese type, offering flexibility and efficiency without compromising safety, thanks to comprehensive mechanical and electromechanical protections.
