Curd unloader for dairy production
In the cheese manufacturing process, efficiently transferring salted curd from draining tables to further processing stages is crucial. Ensuring a reliable and safe method for this transfer can greatly impact overall production efficiency and product quality.
Reliable curd transfer to downstream processes
The Curd Unloader from Kovalus Separation Solutions is designed specifically for the safe and reliable transfer of salted curd to blockformers, 640 lb hoop filling, 500 lb barrel filling, or manual hooping for various cheeses. This unit is available in multiple widths to fit with a variety of curd draining table dimensions. Equipped with a high capacity hopper, it efficiently handles substantial amounts of curd while the table continues to retrieve more cheese. The ribbon auger ensures gentle and efficient movement from the sides of the unloader to the center pick-up points. Tines attached to the ribbon auger shaft prevent curd from bridging in front of vacuum ports. For operator safety and optimal fit-up to curd tables, proximity switches are included. All equipment is built to applicable 3A standards and USDA guidelines. The unit can be configured for air (blowing), air (vacuum), or mechanical (auger) transfer methods, and optional design features include frames with swivel casters for easy movement and overhead rail system compatibility.
