Cooling system for cottage cheese curd washing
In the cheese production industry, maintaining consistent product quality during the washing and cooling of cottage cheese curds is essential, especially when high pH levels are expected. Traditional methods can struggle to handle the high volumes and precise conditions required.
Automate washing and cooling for consistent quality
The Tetra Pak® Cooling Tower is an advanced solution designed specifically for medium to high-capacity cottage cheese lines. This unit automates the washing and cooling of cheese curds, providing an evenly rinsed and cooled end product. Water is distributed through multiple inlets at the base and sides of the tower, ensuring an even flow throughout the entire tank. This guarantees consistent washing and cooling of the curd mass. The system operates ultra clean, thanks to a sterile air preparation system that maintains a hygienic environment. An integrated perforated overflow system reduces product losses by capturing curd pieces that may be carried with the water. Developed by Tetra Pak, this cooling tower enhances production efficiency and product quality.
