Continuous curd drainage and maturation systems for pasta filata cheese
In cheese production, achieving optimal curd maturity and drainage is essential for producing high-quality pasta filata cheese varieties. Traditional methods often struggle with inconsistent drainage and maturation, affecting product consistency and overall efficiency.
Optimize curd maturation and drainage processes
The GEA continuous curd drainage and maturation system is designed for the efficient production of pasta filata cheese. The system features a rotating drainage drum that accelerates the drainage process. The inclined tunnel design, equipped with a rotary auger, allows for partial curd maturation with whey. Electronically controlled auger speeds ensure flexible production and precise maturation times. Made from AISI 304 stainless steel, the system includes a hygienic design for easy cleaning and automated cleaning-in-place functionality. Safety is prioritized with mechanical barriers and proximity switches to protect operators. Capable of handling up to 6,000-8,000 kg/h, this system is adaptable to various plant configurations and meets stringent hygiene regulations.
Benefits
- High capacity of up to 8,000 kg/h
