Dynamic brine salting system for dairy production
In the dairy industry, maintaining high efficiency and consistent quality during the salting process is crucial for cheese production. Traditional salting methods can be labor-intensive and require continuous monitoring, leading to increased workload and potential inconsistencies in brine characteristics.
Automate daily cheese salting with ease
The dynamic brine salting system by Progema Engineering is designed to handle large daily volumes of hard cheeses like Grana Padano, Parmigiano Reggiano, Asiago, and Piave. This integrated system automates the entire salting process by utilizing mechanized transport and a patented lifting mechanism based on Archimedes’ principle, which aids in the efficient immersion and extraction of cheese forms in brine tanks. The system features automatic brine regeneration through ultrafiltration to maintain consistent brine quality and reduce bacterial load. It can be semi-automatically controlled via electropneumatic panels or fully automated using PLCs with operator panels. The flexible design allows for installation in new facilities or retrofitting in existing dairies.
