Enhance your cheese production with a cooling tower designed for precise curd washing, ensuring even cooling and rinsing to maintain high product quality while boosting line capacity.
Washes and Cools Cheese Curds Efficiently
The Tetra Pak® Cooling Tower from Tetra Pak is designed for cheese manufacturers and dairy producers seeking efficiency in curd processing. This equipment excels in washing, cooling, and rinsing cheese curds, delivering consistent product quality crucial for cottage cheese, paneer, and ricotta production. It employs an advanced flushing process with multiple water inlets, ensuring even and gentle interaction with curd masses, while maintaining a hygienic production environment through its ultra-clean design with a sterile air preparation system. The cooling tower supports continuous, automated operations and integrates seamlessly into medium to high-capacity production lines, effectively reducing the workload on vats and enhancing line capacity. Additionally, a perforated overflow system minimizes product loss, capturing small curd pieces, ensuring maximum yield. Its design is not only focused on performance but also on ease of maintenance with components accessible for cleaning, aligning with hygiene standards in the dairy industry.
