Continuous cheese and whey production system
Streamline your cheese production process with a system that handles whey drainage, pre-pressing, and mould filling efficiently, ensuring accurate cheese block formation and quality whey output, all while minimizing weight and moisture variations for consistently high-quality results.
Drains, Pre-presses, and Mould Fills Cheese Blocks
The Tetra Pak Casomatic system SC7 is a fully automatic solution engineered for seamless integration into dairy and cheese production lines. This system is optimized for the efficient processing of cheese varieties such as Gouda, Edam, and Maasdam, enhancing your operation’s capacity to produce consistent and high-quality cheese blocks or wheels. Among its many features, the SC7 utilizes a flexible whey drainage system, ensuring precise whey removal crucial for maintaining consistent moisture and weight across cheese batches.
With its continuous operation capabilities, the SC7 handles medium to high volumes, making it ideal for large-scale production facilities. Its automation is controlled by advanced software that monitors and adjusts processes in real-time, mitigating production disruptions. The system is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring durability and meeting stringent hygiene standards mandatory in food processing.
Incorporating a unique dimple jacket cooling feature, the SC7 limits acidification and moisture variability, improving cheese uniformity while its CIP system facilitates rapid, thorough cleaning to minimize downtime. Furthermore, Tetra Pak offers engineering support to modify specific components to fit your unique production requirements, making the SC7 a customizable and robust addition to any cheese manufacturing line.
