Cheese brine immersion salting system

Ensure consistent flavor and quality in cheese production by immersing blocks and wheels in precisely controlled brine solutions for optimal salting results.

Immerses and Brines Cheese in Controlled Environments

The Immersion Brine Salting System from Progema Engineering is designed for cheese manufacturers seeking precision in their salting processes. This system features pneumatic sanitary valves and PLC control with a touch-screen interface, enabling seamless operation and monitoring. It utilizes a multi-stage brine recirculation and cooling process, ensuring consistent salinity and temperature across cheese forms. Commonly applied in dairy production, it excels in processing cheese wheels, curds, and immersed cheese blocks. The system offers automation, with optional salinity and weight monitoring, and integrates efficiently into existing production lines. Constructed with Aisi 316L stainless steel, it ensures longevity and corrosion resistance in saline environments. Customizable setups include handling up to 40 cheese blocks across five stacked tiers, with scalable options and engineering support to meet specific spatial and functional demands.

Benefits

  • Enhances product consistency with precise salinity and temperature control.
  • Minimizes manual intervention through fully automated operations, reducing labor costs.
  • Extends equipment lifespan with corrosion-resistant Aisi 316L stainless steel construction.
  • Optimizes resource use by recycling and cooling brine with integrated filtration.
  • Allows seamless data integration with weigh-in/weigh-out tracking and optional salinity monitoring.
