Dry salt dosage system for curd cheese production
Streamline your cheese production with precise salt dosing, ensuring optimal texture and flavor consistency while integrating seamlessly into your existing processing line.
Accurately Doses and Mixes Salt in Cheese
The Dry Salt Dosage System from GEA is tailored for cheese producers seeking precision in salt addition across a range of cheese products such as mozzarella and burrata. This system features a double truncated cone-shaped vat that rotates continuously to prevent salt clumping, combined with a heated external jacket. An integrated variable-speed auger system ensures precise salt application to the curd exiting the stretching machine, with adjustments based on real-time sensor feedback on pasta filata thickness. Constructed from AISI 316 stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The system supports continuous, automated operations, integrating seamlessly into existing production lines with PLC control for fine adjustment. Additionally, it features a CIP connection to streamline cleaning and maintenance, and servo-motor-driven augers for reliable, accurate salt distribution within a 0.1% dosing margin. This unit is a highly efficient choice for dairy processors focused on consistency and production efficiency.
