Curd table for cheese production
Streamline cheese production with effective curd separation, precise salt mixing, and reliable whey drainage to enhance quality and efficiency.
Separates and Mixes Curd for Cheese Production
The TRU-FINISH® Curd Table from Kovalus Separation Solutions is designed to optimize your cheese production through efficient separation and mixing of curd and whey. This equipment stands out with its robust agitator design and patent-pending forker shoes, ensuring thorough and gentle mixing of salt and condiments into the curd bed. Ideal for producing a variety of cheeses, including Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Feta, it operates as a continuous, automated system with seamless integration into your processing and final conditioning departments.
The TRU-FINISH® Curd Table features options such as permanent or removable drain screens and heating tubes between the jacket and liner, providing even heat distribution. Automation interlocks prevent overheating, while a carriage travel motor with encoder technology ensures precise positioning. Designed for the dairy and food industries, it offers customizable features like quick-release forker shoes and rack & pinion carriage for severe-duty agitation.
This corrosion-resistant, all-stainless steel construction supports extended equipment life with reduced maintenance needs, featuring sealed bearings that eliminate greasing. Its clean-in-place (CIP) capabilities and quick-connect design facilitate hygienic operations and ease of maintenance, meeting stringent industry standards. Additionally, the table supports integration with downstream processes, offering various discharge options to enhance production line efficiency.
