Cheese forming units for hard and semi-hard cheeses
In industrial cheese production, achieving uniform and precise cheese block formation is essential for maintaining product quality and consistency. Traditional manual processes can lead to irregularities in size and inefficiency in whey drainage.

Automatically form cheese blocks with whey drainage
The pre-pressing/moulding units from REDA S.p.A. are designed for the automatic and precise formation of cheese blocks, catering specifically to hard and semi-hard cheeses. These units feature a special draining belt system that simultaneously collects whey drainage during the moulding process, enhancing efficiency. Available heating solutions include direct heating, indirect heating, and a combined system, allowing for flexibility tailored to production needs. Direct heating employs a steam heating system with a flash cooler, ideal for high-density products. Indirect heating uses traditional steam injection, suitable for cow milk and plant-based drinks. The combined system merges these methods to optimize product quality, preserving taste, color, flavor, and odor. Each setup promises a high degree of thermal regeneration, a multipurpose plant design, and a fully automated process, ensuring reduced production times and energy costs.
