Draining matting solution for granular or matted curd cheese
In the production of granular or matted curd cheese like Colby or Monterey Jack, achieving high yield and maintaining product quality can be challenging. Efficient handling of curd and whey is crucial to minimize fat and fines loss during the process.
Gently handle curd while maximizing yield
The Tetra Pak® Draining Matting machine 2 is a continuous, automated solution designed for the production of granular or matted curd cheese. This enclosed machine includes features for pre-salting low moisture curd or washing curd for high moisture varieties. The gentle handling minimizes fat and fines loss while the wedge wire screen ensures highly efficient whey removal. The self-tensioning, self-tracking fines-reduction belt with polypropylene sections reduces maintenance needs and facilitates cleaning. Additionally, the machine can be fitted with CIP isolation for shorter cleaning times and uninterrupted production. This technology is customizable and configured to meet specific plant requirements, but is currently only available in the US market.
