Curd making vat for cheese production

Forms, Mixes, and Cuts Cheese Curds

The Tetra Pak® Cheese Vat HCV-S and HCV-H are precision-engineered solutions for cheese and curd production, equipped with dual counter-rotating agitators to ensure optimal curd mixing and cutting. These vats cater to cheese manufacturers and dairy producers seeking high yield and consistency in cheddar, mozzarella, and semi-hard cheese production.

The equipment operates via a batch process that efficiently forms, mixes, and cuts curds, featuring a heat transfer system that allows gentle cooking to minimize fat loss. With automated integration and accurate pump-out capabilities, it supports various scales of production needs.

The robust design includes a patented seal for minimal maintenance, while the opportunity to equip Tetra Pak® Yieldmaster Vat blades further enhances curd yield. The vats are constructed to conserve plant space and energy, housing all these features in a durable stainless-steel structure suitable for extensive use.

Compliant with USDA standards, these vats also facilitate easy cleaning through a CIP system, ensuring operational hygiene and reduced downtime. Customization options are available to tailor the system to specific production requirements, backed by Tetra Pak’s global engineering support network.
