Curd coagulation detection system
Cheese production requires precise monitoring of the curd coagulation process to achieve a consistent and high-quality product. Determining the exact moment of coagulation is crucial for minimizing costs and maximizing yields.
Monitors curd coagulation for optimal consistency
The OptiSet 4.1 Coagulation Detection System by Kovalus Separation is designed to monitor the curd coagulation process within a cheese vat and identify the exact instance of coagulation. Utilizing an advanced Recipe function, it allows cheese makers to initiate the cutting of the coagulum when the desired firmness is reached. Additionally, the system serves as a diagnostic tool to understand the impacts of upstream processes on coagulation. The system reduces costs by lowering whey fat loss by 5% and rennet usage by 10%, while also ensuring consistent moisture control and product quality. Data from each vat is stored for review, and early and late coagulation alarms provide warnings for potential issues. The system conforms to 3A standards and USDA guidelines for dairy equipment.
