Presses and Handles Semi-Hard and Hard Cheese
The Tetra Pak® Mould Handling System offers a sophisticated solution for dairy producers and cheese manufacturers. Designed for processing semi-hard and hard cheeses like Gouda, Edam, and Cheddar, this system excels in handling the complexities of pressing, de-moulding, and brining. The fully automated, PLC-controlled operation ensures consistent high-quality cheese by employing individual pneumatic cylinders for uniform pressing force. It integrates seamlessly into production lines with features such as dual-level cleaning tunnels and mould storage units, enhancing flexibility and hygiene. With a capacity of up to 100 tonnes per day, it optimizes uptime through efficient CIP (clean-in-place) processes, making it an ideal choice for continuous cheese production.
