Blends and Buffers Crumbled Cheese Products

The Tetra Pak® Crumbled Cheese Buffer is a highly automated solution, designed for efficient crumbled cheese production and blending processes. This equipment integrates seamlessly within a dairy or food processing line, offering precise recipe control through automated weighing and mixing systems. The vertical design, combined with a smart multi-agitator mechanism, ensures homogenous blending, minimizing product residue and maximizing yield.

Applications include crumbled cheeses like Feta, Tvarog, and Ricotta, benefiting from the unit’s ability to efficiently handle additives such as herbs, spices, and fruits. Capable of small batch processing, this buffer supports flexible production and quick changes between different product varieties.

Enhanced with integrated load cells for precise ingredient measurement, the system automates ingredient addition, while manual dosing is guided through the operator interface. The vertical conical design optimizes product flow for minimal losses during emptying, facilitated by a screw pump directly connected at the base.

A cooling jacket maintains the product at optimal temperatures, safeguarding quality during unforeseen production interruptions. This makes the Tetra Pak® Crumbled Cheese Buffer an ideal choice for those prioritizing reliability and efficiency in their cheese production lines.
