Cooking and stretching solution for pasta filata cheese
Streamline your cheese production with precise cooking and stretching, ensuring optimal texture and quality for mozzarella and other pasta filata cheeses with high-capacity continuous operation.

Cooks and Stretches Pasta Filata Cheeses
The Tetra Pak® Cooker Stretcher DAW 2/6 is a state-of-the-art solution for the precise cooking and stretching of pasta filata cheeses, such as mozzarella, provolone, and pizza cheese. Equipped with dual overlapped augers, it ensures thorough mixing and stretching by leveraging the natural rollback effect of the cheese. With a capacity of 3.6 tons per hour, it is ideal for high-volume production environments. The equipment features a dimple-patterned auger body, reducing cheese adhesion and easing cleaning processes by eliminating the need for coatings. Its dual heat exchange system maintains product quality by minimizing protein denaturation while optimizing energy use. Automated water level management contributes to operational efficiency, and the optional cyclone curd collector supports long-distance pneumatic conveying. Integration into existing production lines is seamless, with automated and continuous operation suitable for the food, dairy, and cheese industries.
