Curd drainers and portioners for cheese production
In the production of delicate cheeses like taleggio, crescenza, and feta, managing the curd’s consistency and moisture content is crucial. Proper drainage and portioning techniques ensure uniform quality and texture in the final cheese product.
Drain and distribute curd efficiently
The curd draining and portioning system from Priamo Food Technologies is designed to handle delicate curds used in producing cheeses such as taleggio, crescenza, gorgonzola, and feta. The system features a hopper for curd input, a variable-speed revolving draining drum, and a chute with a hopper and scraper to transfer curd to block molds of various sizes. An adjustable shelf positions the molds correctly, and an automatic spatula portions the curd. An electric control panel manages the drum speed, shelf lift, conveyor chains, and spatula operation. Capable of filling around 3 block molds per minute, this setup’s efficiency may vary depending on curd type and whey content. The system ensures minimal manual intervention, reducing operational downtime and increasing production consistency.
