Cheese vat for various cheese types production

Optimize curd formation and whey separation for diverse cheese types with a vat engineered for precise control and minimal curd damage, ensuring consistent, high-quality dairy products.

Processes Curd and Separates Whey Efficiently

The Uzermak Cheese Vat is an essential solution for efficient cheese manufacturing, offering advanced features that cater specifically to dairy producers. This equipment utilizes a closed system with an automatic steam inlet and a unique “eight shape” stainless steel tank design to ensure gentle handling of curd during the cutting, stirring, and ripening processes. It is capable of producing a wide range of cheese types, including Kashkaval, mozzarella, Halloumi, gouda, lactic, and cheddar cheese, making it versatile for various cheese production needs.

With production capacities ranging from 3,000 to 16,000 liters, the Cheese Vat is equipped with a PLC process controlling system for seamless operation and integration into existing production lines. Its speed control feature allows the adjustment of blade operation from 1 rpm to 10 rpm, optimizing processing based on the type of cheese and desired consistency. The vat also incorporates a wedge wire slot to efficiently manage whey separation while maintaining high quality and minimizing product loss.

Constructed from AISI304 quality stainless steel, the vat is designed to be resistant to cleaning detergents, ensuring long-term durability and ease of maintenance. The inclusion of CIP (Clean-In-Place) heads facilitates quick and thorough cleaning, reducing downtime between batches. This Cheese Vat enhances productivity and product quality, making it a crucial asset for dairy and cheese production facilities.
