Dry salting system for mozzarella production
Producing mozzarella with consistent salt distribution is crucial for ensuring product quality and flavor. Traditional manual salting methods can lead to uneven salt coverage and inefficiency, potentially wasting resources and affecting product uniformity.
Ensures precise and even salt distribution
The Tetra Pak® Dry-Salter is a finely tuned system designed specifically for the dry salting of mozzarella. The unit meters an exact percentage of salt to a constant flow of cheese exiting from the cooker stretcher. By measuring the cheese production by weight, the dry-salter uses feedback to a salt dispenser, ensuring the precise amount of salt is evenly deposited via a vibratory pan. This system features load cells that accurately gauge the weight of the cheese, ensuring the correct dosing of salt to meet operator settings. Additionally, a heated vibrating conveyor eliminates condensation, maintaining free-flowing salt. The automatic salt supply system stores salt in a dedicated unit and delivers it via a vacuum line, ensuring reliable and safe filling without direct operator involvement. The Tetra Pak® Dry-Salter is applicable in processes related to pasta filata cheese production and offers up to 0.5% salt addition capability. The product is supplied by Tetra Pak, a renowned brand in the field of food processing equipment.
