Cheese curd preparation vat for cottage cheese
In the production of cottage cheese, achieving uniform curd size and maintaining precise moisture content are critical to ensure high-quality output. This entails precise control over heat transfer, stirring, and curd cutting practices to minimize product loss and avoid uncut curd remains.
Prepares cheese curds with precise heat and stirring control
The Tetra Pak® Grainy Cheese Vat E4 is specifically designed for the preparation of cheese curd in cottage and other grainy cheese lines. This advanced and highly automated vat features a heating jacket on the bottom and side walls to maintain even curd temperature and prevent overheating. The inclusion of ultra-clean technology, with sterile air pumped into the vat, maintains a hygienic production environment. Additionally, the extruded inlet design reduces the risk of thermal cracks in the vat’s structure, enhancing food safety and extending the equipment’s lifetime. The vat’s tipping system, activated by a pressure transmitter, ensures minimal product waste by expelling the last curds. Furthermore, the indented back wall design ensures no curd remains uncut, reducing waste and improving yield. The Tetra Pak® Grainy Cheese Vat E4 is suitable for producing various types of cheeses, including cottage cheese, feta, and tvarog.
