Curd distribution system for cheddar production

Ensure consistent curd distribution for optimal cheese quality with our advanced mixing solution, vital for efficient block forming and smooth integration into high-speed dairy production lines.

Distributes and Mixes Curds for Cheese Production

The Tetra Pak® Curd Distribution Tank is engineered to enhance cheese and dairy processing by ensuring even curd distribution to block forming towers. Specially designed for high-speed production lines, this tank uses a revolving paddle system to maintain uniform curd flow, minimizing energy usage and product variability. It efficiently handles slurry products, making it suitable for cheddar blocks and processed cheese slices. With a compact footprint due to the patented Q-Seal technology, it integrates seamlessly into existing systems, optimizing space and operation. The tank includes automated level sensors that initiate filling only when conditions are optimal, enhancing energy efficiency. Fabricated to withstand food processing environments, it supports continuous operations while reducing the risk of contamination through a watertight drive system.

Benefits

  • Ensures consistent cheese quality with uniform curd distribution to all block formers.
  • Reduces energy consumption through automated level sensors that optimize fill timing.
  • Saves production space with a compact design enabled by Q-Seal technology.
  • Minimizes maintenance downtime with a watertight drive system protection.
  • Enhances production efficiency in continuous, high-speed operations.
