Cheddaring system for pasta filata production

Drains, Acidifies, and Cheddars Cheese Curd

The Tetra Pak® Cheddaring Machine 2200 is an automated solution designed to optimize the cheese production process, specifically targeting the challenges of whey drainage, curd acidification, and cheddaring. It features a stainless steel construction with wedge wire inlet screens that ensure effective whey drainage by preventing curd particle losses, thus maximizing yield. The machine’s design includes a sophisticated channel with strategically placed baffle plates, creating an even distribution of curds for consistent product quality across the belt. Its integration of a whey screen system and perforated draining belts results in high hygiene standards and minimal fines losses.

Applications extend across a wide range of cheese products, including pasta filata, mozzarella, cheddar, and semi-hard cheeses like Gouda and Havarti. The Tetra Pak® Cheddaring Machine 2200 is capable of processing between 1.5 to 9.2 tons per hour, supporting continuous operations that maintain high throughput levels. Equipped with PLC controls and remote monitoring capabilities, this machine is seamlessly integrated into fully automated production environments, providing efficiency and ease of operation.

To prevent maintenance challenges, the machine features an open fish bone belt support design, which minimizes friction and allows for easy cleaning without leaving wear marks, supported by in-built cleaning devices for effective CIP processes. The Tetra Pak® Cheddaring Machine 2200 offers a customizable interface to match specific plant needs, providing engineering support for tailored adjustments, ensuring compatibility with existing line configurations.
