Dry salting system for mozzarella production
Optimize mozzarella consistency with precise dry salting—achieving perfect salt distribution while reducing water waste in your cheese processing line.

Accurately Distributes Salt Across Cheese Products
The Tetra Pak® Dry-Salter is an innovative solution designed for cheese manufacturers to achieve uniform salt distribution across various mozzarella products, such as blocks, shredded cheese, and sticks. Leveraging load cell technology, it ensures precise salt dosing by measuring cheese weight exiting the cooker stretcher. The integrated heated vibrating conveyor facilitates even salt spread, preventing condensation and ensuring free-flowing operation. With full automation, the dry salter seamlessly communicates with ingredient supply systems, eliminating the need for manual intervention and enhancing operational safety and reliability. Ideal for continuous production environments, this equipment supports high-speed operations with a capacity of up to 0.5% salt addition, optimizing both flavor consistency and texture while reducing water wastage.
